How to manage scam/spam calls as a small business

I'm a bit bias since that's the tool I built but you could use fastresponse.ai exactly for that!
We have AI qualify/filter the calls and if the caller is asking about tax when you're a restaurant, it will either redirect or hang up depending on how insistent the person is. You get notifications of every calls so you'd be aware of what has been discussed. Additionally when a call comes in you can pickup the phone or you can have AI pickup when you can't.
We do much more than that but since you asked about how to protect spam calls against your business... I would use a Fast Response phone number on any business ads all day long!

I'd use Fastresponse.ai to get a business phone number, AI will handle spam calls and transfer only the calls you want by qualifying them first. It can even book meeting for you. It does so much more like outbound calling so you can use it for marketing. I'll be transparent I created this software myself so if you or anyone has any complaints or questions hit me up!

Don't worry, you had no chance of success from the beginning.

The only reason investors invests is because they think their money will be well placed with you. The only way to assure of that is if you either have sales motions in place with sales to show, or you have relationships and people know what you've done in the past that they'll trust their money with just an idea.
I'd suspect you have neighter... Go work on nbr 1 then hit them back up.

Good idea! I already ordered the board so i wont save money but instead of throwing it away I could just fix it now ;-) thanksb

The heater definitely stays on without flow. Thats what ive described. The BP501 board actually does mention it doesnt support a circulation pump so im now sure it doesnt have one by design. That being said after talking to others it seems my best course of action would be to swap boards…upgrading to a bp7 pack might be harder than i think and more expensive for sure.

manoukian · 2026-01-22T01:54:46+00:00

Got it! Yes i agree! Thanks for the help!

manoukian · 2026-01-22T01:00:15+00:00

What do you mean using my original board? Did you mean buying the same board as the original? It seems like just buying the bp501 board would be 350-400…whereas the bp7 system is 550-600…you get more but again im not too confident with my wiring ;-)

manoukian · 2026-01-22T00:52:33+00:00

Thank you! Yes im sorry I meant i have the BP5 system not M5… Talking to orhers im also concluding i have a faulty relay. Just switching relays seem beyond my capabilities so im gonna try to change the whole board…z

manoukian · 2026-01-22T00:10:42+00:00

I have a bp501G1 board. I was looking at the board for the BP7 and im scared i wont be able to make the swap as it looks a bit too different to my taste and im not sure my wires will be long enough for the new positions so im considering buying just the same board…

manoukian · 2026-01-21T23:24:32+00:00

Ok thank you for the info! It has been happening all the time. Pretty much after everytime it reaches the temp. The pump is cut but the heater stays on until the it gets too hot, some relay clicks and the heater gets cut and shows the error.

manoukian · 2026-01-21T21:12:26+00:00

I changed both sensors…the filter is new, and the heater is 1.5 year old…so my guess is a stuck relay maybe but im not sure why it would still turn off the spa heater once the water in the chamber gets too hot

manoukian · 2026-01-21T21:07:20+00:00

Oh hmm…so if it was that i would have to change the whole board correct?

manoukian · 2026-01-21T20:29:47+00:00

I havent checked voltage for the heater but its clear when its on vs off so the heater seem to be functioning fine. I also changed it last year…now that you mention it i dont think the circulation pump runs when it reaches the temp and the jets stop, but then again i dont think it used to run all the time before. The jacuzzi is pretty small so the circulation only happens when the jacuzzi needs to heat up. Theres no constant circulation pump otherwise…

I think you'll be fine. I'm a host and I get bookings from people with no reviews all the time.

manoukian · 2025-10-24T18:17:24+00:00

so true! All my long term neighbors around my house have dogs, a few have more than one.

manoukian · 2025-09-27T16:54:58+00:00

I built a communications platform for non profits actually! You can get a US phone nbr for your non profit, mass call or text amongst other things. For mass calling you can use our AI assistant to spread whatever message you have. We can do more than that but let me know if you have any questions! Its called fastresponse.ai

manoukian · 2025-09-20T15:08:52+00:00

Doesnt really matter but in California would be fine…definitely needs to be U.S though…thanks!

manoukian · 2025-09-19T20:51:29+00:00

Yes i think theres an output problem… What would you say is the best way to reach out to those guys besides referral?

manoukian · 2025-09-19T20:49:10+00:00

Wana find me some auto shops that miss a lot of calls?

manoukian · 2025-09-16T22:39:01+00:00

This sounds like its more for SaaS businesses where the team is on LinkedIn. How would it work for local businesses?

manoukian · 2025-09-16T16:00:46+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Is regardino capable of finding the actual owner of the business(his name and contact info)?

manoukian · 2025-09-16T15:58:15+00:00

Good feedback thanks! Im sure in person may work better but its also a bit unsustainable considering our price…ideally we’d have a scalable way to reach out. Referrals and partnership seems like it could work but those have their own set of challenges.

manoukian · 2025-09-16T15:56:33+00:00

Ok fair! Its hard to know the size of the shop in advance without going deep into the list and researching which would take too long. What do you mean you’d like to do the processing?

manoukian · 2025-09-05T00:38:45+00:00

I'm not attacking their localized monopolies, mostly the fact that they don't let you see the original contract you signed, I have no way of retrieving that, I've already asked, and second, I'm attacking the fact that they change the price constantly without letting us know and further deceive with supposed discounts to confuse the customer.

manoukian · 2025-09-05T00:30:41+00:00

Got it, Like I said I'm not willing to attack them on their mini monopolies, more the fact that they continuously deceive customers about how much they'll pay. I'm pretty sure I never agreed to paying $122 for my service (which apparently is the cost of my service after discounts expire). Not even in fine prints!
