Kyle Sandilands talked about Rockmelon AI on his show.

Twenty-eight seconds on the problem every tradie’s customers already know. You ring, it rings out, and by the time the tradie calls back you’ve moved on to the next one in the phone book.

What Kyle said

“So when you ring a tradie, and you know, it normally rings out and no one… And by the time they get back to you, you’ve already moved on to the second, the third one in the phone book.

From a guy I’ve known and worked with before, Kian’s his name, and him and a mate have put something together. So apparently he’s done this thing where you ring the tradie and it goes to a phone service. They’ve invented something that that phone call will get answered and you can leave what you want, and then a quote gets sent back.

That’s quite clever, I think. Rockmelon AI.”

Word-for-word transcript of the clip.

Who’s Kian? Kian Oliver co-founded Rockmelon with Ricky Kocis. Before that he spent six years producing breakfast radio at KIIS 1065 and Gold 101.7. Radio has one rule: the phone gets answered.

How Rockmelon AI actually works

1

The call gets answered

When you’re on the tools and miss a call, it goes straight to your Rockmelon voicemail instead of ringing out. The customer leaves the job details.

2

The customer hears back in seconds

They get a text straight away so they know you’ve got it, and they don’t move on to the next tradie. The voicemail is saved and you get an alert.

3

You send the quote in minutes

When you’re off the roof, you send the quote from the app on your phone. Minutes, not two days. When the job’s done, the invoice sends itself.

Rockmelon’s Take

The job goes to whoever answers.

Kyle summed it up in one line. By the time most tradies ring back, the customer has already rung the next one. It’s a phone problem before it’s a marketing problem, and it’s the one we built Rockmelon AI to fix. More leads won’t help if the ones you already get walk off to whoever picked up first.

Kian & Ricky, Rockmelon
