Solution
An answering service built for one-person businesses.
When you are the technician, the salesperson, and the owner all at once, you cannot answer every call. Leap is your phone coverage while you work, every day, including the calls that come in at the worst possible moment.
Solopreneur answering is dedicated phone coverage for a business run by one person. Leap answers every call while you are on a job, in a meeting, or focused on the work, qualifies the caller, answers common questions from your knowledge base, and logs every lead. No staff required.
Always answered. Leap answers every call whether you are under a sink, on a roof, or in a client meeting with your phone off.
1 person. Leap gives a one-person operation the same phone coverage as a multi-person front desk, at a fraction of the cost.
Same number. Callers ring your existing number and reach Leap, so your business identity never changes.
5 min setup. Leap sets up on your existing number in about five minutes, with no hardware and no IT help.
Every lead. Every caller who reaches Leap is logged with a transcript and summary so nothing slips while you are in the field.
What does a solopreneur answering service do?
A solopreneur answering service answers your business calls when you cannot. Unlike a traditional answering service that reads from a generic script, Leap answers from a knowledge base built from your own website, so callers get real information about your services, pricing, and availability.
For a one-person operation, this is the difference between a lead who gets an answer on the first call and a lead who dials the next result on their search page.
The real cost of missing calls when you work alone
When you run a one-person business, your phone rings at the moment you are least able to answer it. A plumber cannot leave a job mid-repair. A landscaper cannot stop mid-cut. A consultant cannot step out of a client meeting. The call goes to voicemail, the caller moves on, and the revenue never materializes.
Over a week, the compounded value of unanswered calls can exceed what a solopreneur earns from a single completed job. Leap eliminates that gap without adding staff.
On the job
When you are doing the work, Leap answers the calls. Both happen at the same time.
In a meeting
Client consultations, site visits, and phone calls often overlap. Leap covers the ones you cannot pick up.
After hours
Callers do not respect your schedule. Leap answers evenings and weekends so leads do not expire overnight.
On weekends
Saturday callers who find a homeowner emergency need to reach someone. Leap answers every weekend call.
How Leap covers your phone while you run the business
You set up Leap once in about five minutes: provide your website URL, and Leap builds a knowledge base from your services, hours, and coverage area. Then forward your business number to Leap. From that point, every unanswered call goes to Leap instead of voicemail.
Leap answers in a professional voice, handles the request, and sends you a clean summary. You see every caller and every request in your inbox. When you have a moment between jobs, you follow up with people who need a human instead of sifting through voicemails.

Frequently asked questions
What is a solopreneur answering service?
It is a service that answers your business calls when you are unavailable, so leads and customers get a real response instead of voicemail. Leap does this with an AI that knows your business from your own website.
Is Leap different from a generic answering service?
Yes. A generic answering service reads from a script and takes a message. Leap answers from a knowledge base built from your website, so callers get real information about your services, pricing, and booking availability.
Can Leap book jobs or appointments for me?
Yes. Leap can book appointments directly and log the details. For trade businesses, it captures the job details and contact information so you can follow up with a quote.
What if a caller has a question Leap cannot answer?
Leap tells the caller a team member will follow up and logs the question with the caller's contact details. You see the unanswered question in your inbox so the callback is fast and informed.
Does Leap answer calls when I am on another call?
Yes. Leap handles simultaneous calls, so a busy signal is no longer a reason for a caller to move on.
Does it use my existing number?
Yes. You keep your number and forward it to Leap. Callers dial the same line they always have.
Does Leap work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. Leap answers every call around the clock, seven days a week, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
