Tigard AI, in short

Why Tigard calls need an answer on the first ring

Lithium Marketing gives Tigard service businesses an AI receptionist that answers the phone 24/7, plus custom AI automation for the paperwork behind each job. Phone calls are often the most expensive leads you get: an electrician bidding on “electrician tigard” pays about $30.85 a click on average, and an unanswered call wastes it.

A caller who reaches voicemail rarely waits for a callback, and in Washington County there are 147 plumbing and HVAC contractors for them to try next. The receptionist picks up on the first ring, nights and weekends included, asks your questions and books the job before that caller moves down the list.

The Tigard market

Commercial callers and homeowners on the same Tigard line

Tigard is home to the Washington Square mall, one of the largest in Oregon, and companies such as Consumer Cellular, NuScale Power and Stash Tea Company are based there. Shops, offices and property managers call contractors too, so the receptionist can ask whether the caller is a business or a homeowner and route commercial work to whoever quotes it.

Tigard packs about 4,540 residents into each square mile, so a crew can often fit another nearby job into the same day. Give the receptionist your same-day windows, and it books callers into them in place of pushing every job to next week.

Trades in Washington County

Builders, landscapers and the questions their callers ask

Washington County has 310 new home builders and 276 landscaping companies, and most of their calls are about projects weeks or months out. For those, the receptionist asks about budget, lot or yard size and timing, screens out work you don’t take and puts an estimate appointment on your calendar.

Repair trades run on speed. For a plumbing, HVAC or electrical company, the receptionist books routine repairs into the open slots you give it and sends urgent calls to the on-call tech, so nobody spends the morning returning voicemails.

Set up for you

Setting up your Tigard AI receptionist

You hear the receptionist on your own line and sign off on every rule before a real customer calls.

1

List the calls you get

You walk us through a normal week of calls: emergencies, estimate requests, existing customers, sales pitches and wrong numbers.

2

Write the answers in your words

We write the receptionist’s answers from how you already talk to customers: what you fix, where you go, when you’re open and what a visit costs if you quote it. You also choose its voice from 30 options.

3

Set the transfer rules

You pick which calls ring through to a person, such as emergencies, a general contractor you work with or anyone who asks, and which get booked into your calendar or CRM.

4

Test it, then read the transcripts

Call the line yourself and try to trip it up before it goes live. Once real calls come in, the recordings and transcripts show where an answer needs work, and we change it.

What the AI receptionist does on every call

The same eight parts go into every AI receptionist setup, wherever the business is.

FAQ

Questions about an AI answering your Tigard phone

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].

How does $179 a month compare with hiring a receptionist?

A human receptionist typically costs $3,500 or more a month and covers one shift. Lithium’s AI receptionist costs $179 a month, picks up nights and weekends and never takes a sick day.

Can it tell an emergency from a routine call?

Yes, by the rules you give it. You list what makes a call urgent, such as flooding, no heat or a door that won’t close, and those calls go straight to your on-call phone while routine calls get booked.

How soon could my Tigard line be answered by AI?

Most setups go live within days. The slowest part is usually writing down your call rules; after that we connect your calendar, load your answers and hand you the number to test.

Is there a contract or setup fee?

Neither. The receptionist is $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee, so you can stop any month you like.

What else can Lithium automate after the call?

Most of the office work a call creates. Lithium builds automations that log each call in a CRM, text the customer a confirmation, ask for a review after the job and turn voice notes into estimates. Each one is scoped after a free call about how your business runs, and builds typically take 1–2 weeks.
