The $100 Doodle Challenge 🐾💵

Negotiate a doodle groom under $100 with our AI receptionist to test Teddy’s real pricing quotes

Happy New Year Daily Groomers!

‍

Hope you all survived the holiday rush. To kick off the new year, I’m going to Venmo you $100.

‍

Let me give you some context…

‍

Doodles are expensive.

‍
We all know it.

‍
Clients know it.

‍

And yet… they still ask:

“That seems expensive for my dog… I was hoping to stay under $100.”

‍

So we turned it into a challenge.

‍

We built Teddy as your AI receptionist who does intake for you when you miss any call.

‍

We also set up a live demo phone number you can actually call.

‍

Your mission 👇

‍
Try to get a doodle groom quoted under $100.

‍

No forms.

‍
No sales pitch.

‍
Just you versus the AI.

‍

📞 Call the demo number:

(318) 731-1270


(Yes, it’s real. And yes, it answers.)

‍

What to Try When You Call

Have fun with it:

  • Say it’s a doodle (or a “doodle mix” 😉)
  • Push back on pricing
  • Ask follow-up questions as if you were a real customer
  • Try to stay under $100
  • See how Teddy handles the awkward part

‍

You’ll hear how Teddy:

  • explains pricing without over-promising
  • sounds calm, friendly, and human
  • protects groomers from tire kickers 🤣🤣🤣

‍

Friendly reminder: If you cuss out Teddy, I’ll hear about it. 😅

‍

(I listen to all call recordings!)

‍

What You Won’t See — But the Business Owner Does

While you’re busy trying to beat the $100 doodle, Teddy is quietly doing the behind-the-scenes work groomers usually miss when they’re hands-on with dogs.

‍

Here’s what the business owner gets after every call:

  • Caller details at a glance
    Name, phone number, and whether they’re a new or existing client
  • Full pet intake — automatically captured
    Pet name, breed, weight, reason for the call, health concerns, and any other pet details mentioned during the conversation
  • Smart AI call summaries
    Clear, structured summaries that explain exactly what happened on the call… no guessing, no replaying voicemails
  • Full transcripts and call recordings
    Every word saved, searchable, and recorded for full context
  • Automated follow-up texts
    Every caller receives a timely follow-up text after the call so even if the owner is booked solid, no lead slips through the cracks

‍

All without the groomer ever having to stop mid-groom to answer the phone.

‍

‍

After You Call…

If your reaction is:

  • “Okay… that was better than I expected”
  • “I’m overwhelmed.. This would save me a ton of time”
  • or “I kind of want this for the calls I miss while grooming and can’t get to”

‍

Then let’s talk. I’ll text you!

‍

If not?

‍
At least you got a live glimpse of what running a grooming business looks like when calls don’t interrupt grooms anymore.

‍

I’ll venmo winners $100
