## Why Sona Is a Better Answering Service for Landscapers

### 1. Never miss a lead while on a job

When your crew is mowing, planting, or grading, you can't answer the phone. Sona picks up every call, captures what the customer needs — service type, property address, timeline — and delivers it to your Quo inbox instantly.

### 2. More cost-effective

Traditional landscaping answering services charge per-minute fees that add up during busy spring and summer seasons. Sona charges a flat fee for the first 40 calls per month, then $1 per call. No per-minute overages.

### 3. Handles seasonal surges

Spring and summer bring call volume spikes that overwhelm traditional services. Sona scales instantly — no staffing delays, no hold times, same quality at 5 calls or 500.
