So let me be clear here:
You don't offer your services and prices easily and you are not planning on answering automated calls that query you about your prices and services?
Long-term, I don't see your business staying unless you are at a small town or your niche is pretty rare.
Otherwise I personally would not like to waste my time asking about pretty basic info like the price and the service.
That’s a strange assumption. My pricing and services are listed on the flyer they likely first heard about me from, as well as on my website. You can also just call, email, or text and ask.
If you have a job for me but don’t want to "waste your time" by reaching out, I’m not too concerned about losing you as a customer. Virtually all of my previous clients seem to appreciate not just a job well done, but the one-on-one human connection as well. In fact, some of them seem to just want someone to talk to - the work itself feels almost secondary.
