The money a trade business loses is rarely the job it bid wrong. It is the quote nobody followed up on and the invoice nobody chased. Both are small writing jobs, both take five minutes, and both get skipped for weeks when the owner is on a jobsite until dark.
An AI operating system closes that gap. It reads your email, knows what you quoted and to whom, notices when a thread has gone quiet, and has the follow-up written and waiting for you to approve. Same for the invoice that aged past thirty days.
Uniontown sits in Lake Township along Cleveland Avenue, and the 44685 line runs right between two markets. Plenty of businesses here quote work in Akron in the morning and Canton in the afternoon, which means two sets of customers, two sets of threads, and twice as many places for a follow-up to get lost.
I am Jacob King. I run King Intelligence out of Akron, about twenty minutes north, and I use the same system on my own business every day. Fourteen small businesses have had one built with me so far.
What it looks like on a Thursday
You are in the truck. A price question comes in by email. By the time you check your phone at lunch, the reply is drafted, it has the right number in it because the system knows what you charge, and it sounds like you wrote it. You read it, send it, get back to work.
At the end of the week you get one list: who never answered, what is still unpaid, and what you promised somebody you would do. Not a dashboard. A list.
What this is not
It does not answer your phone. This runs on email, calendar, notes, and invoicing, which is where the written trail lives. If the majority of your business happens by voice and nothing ever gets typed, there is less here for you, and I will say so.
It also does not send anything on its own. Every message waits for you. That is a deliberate choice, because the fastest way to wreck a customer relationship is a machine emailing them something you never saw.
The cost
Setup is a two-hour paid session at $697, built on your own business, and it comes with every plan. Your first payment covers the Setup and your first month: $697 with no one-on-one time, $997 with an hour with me, or $1,497 with three hours. After that: $97, $397, or $897 a month. One-off working sessions are $497 an hour. Current rates hold through Dec 31. On Jan 1 every plan goes up.
Talk it through with Jacob
If you know there are quotes sitting out there you never chased, that is the first thing worth fixing.

I am on jobsites all day. When would I even use this?
At the two or three moments you already check your phone. The system does the writing while you are working, so instead of composing a reply on a cracked screen you are reading one that is already done and pressing send. Most of the value shows up in the ten minutes at lunch and the ten minutes before bed.
Does it answer my phone or handle voicemail?
No. This works on the written side of your business: email, calendar, notes, and invoicing. Answering calls is a different product and I am not going to sell you this one by pretending it does that. If phone coverage is your actual bottleneck, say so on the call and I will tell you straight.
What does it cost for a Uniontown contractor?
The setup session is $697 one time and it comes with every plan. Your first payment is $697 to run the system with no one-on-one time, $997 to add an hour with me, or $1,497 to add three, then $97, $397, or $897 a month after that. Buying my time outside a plan is $497 an hour.
Do you work with businesses in Hartville, Green, and North Canton?
Yes, all three, plus Akron and Canton on either side of them. Uniontown mail carries a 44685 address but the businesses here sell into both metros, and so do most of my clients. I also work with people well outside Ohio, since the building happens over video.
I already use QuickBooks and Google Calendar. Do I have to switch?
No, and you should not. The system is built to run inside what you already pay for rather than replace it, and QuickBooks plus Google is one of the most common setups I work with. Switching software is expensive and disruptive, and it is almost never the thing that was slowing you down.
