Call Handling — Locksmiths

Locked out.
2am.
First locksmith to answer gets it.

Locksmithing is the purest example of first-answer-wins. A customer locked out of their home at 2am is not shopping around — they're calling numbers in order and booking whoever picks up first. Miss the call and the job — and potentially a lifelong customer — goes to the next name on the list. ForgeMason answers every call at any hour, captures the job details, confirms your attendance, and sends the caller a text so they know you're coming.
