Every missed call gets a text back.
No caller goes unanswered, and no family goes cold while you’re teaching.
Miss the call, and a text goes out on its own within seconds — with your class schedule and your registration link, so they can get started while they wait. Mid-class, after hours, on a Sunday. Nobody sits there feeling ignored, and there is no callback list waiting for you at the end of the day.
- Missed calls get a text back
- Goes out in seconds, day or night
- Your schedule and sign-up link, every time
The phone rings, and everyone’s already busy.
My wife owns a studio here in Winnipeg, and I've seen this play out more times than I can count. A parent calls while everyone’s teaching, already on another call or helping a family at the desk, and by the time someone’s free, that family has booked with the studio that picked up. Getting back to them first wins most of those families, and it's the easiest part of the job to hand off.
Only 2 in 100 callers leave you a voicemail when a call goes unanswered.† Everyone else just hangs up.
Mid-class on a weeknight, a packed Saturday morning, already on another call, with a parent at the desk, or long after close. The phone rings and nobody can get to it.
Before they've even put the phone down, a text arrives with your class schedule, your registration link and a friendly line in your studio's voice saying you'll be with them shortly.
You come off the floor to a list of parents who are interested. Some have already registered from the link, and the rest are waiting for your reply.
One family covers it.
Bring back one family you'd otherwise have missed, and Core has paid for itself that month, with about $28 to spare.
That's four years of real tuition at one studio, averaged. It's not a promise; we'll run your own numbers with you on the call.
Set up once. Then it runs on its own.
One message, in the way your studio actually talks, carrying the two links a parent needs most — your schedule and your registration page. We write it and set it up; you approve it. A few minutes of your time, once.
Not five minutes later, not once the class is over — seconds, while they're still holding the phone. That's the whole reason it works: the text arrives while they're still deciding.
One thread per family, on your desktop and your phone. Some parents will have sorted themselves out from the links already. The rest are waiting in a list, and you get to them when you're free.
What your team sees.
Studio OS opens on the desk computer and on everyone's phone. We set it up and show your team around, so nobody's left figuring it out alone. Tap a screen to see it full size.

What is missed-call text-back?
Missed-call text-back sends a text on its own within seconds of a call to your studio going unanswered. The text carries your class schedule and registration link, so the parent can get started while they wait for you to call back.
How much does missed-call text-back cost?
Core is $97 CAD a month, plus a one-time setup fee we go through on the call. It starts with a 14-day free trial, and there’s no contract.
Does it work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. The text goes out whenever a call to your studio is missed, mid-class, after hours or on a Sunday, and the replies wait in one thread list until you’re free.
What does the text actually say?
Whatever you want it to. We write a first draft in your studio's voice — a quick apology for the miss, your class schedule, your registration link — and you approve it before it goes anywhere.
What happens when they text back?
It lands in one thread list on your desktop and your phone, and you answer when you're free. A good number of parents will have already registered from the link by the time you get there.
How long does setup take?
We do it, and it's quick. The only thing you spend any time on is approving the message — we'll give you a timeline on the call once we've seen what you're working with.
Do I need to change my phone number?
Your current number keeps working. We set you up with a new local studio number, and you decide where its calls ring — your mobile, the studio landline, the front desk cell, or all of them at once. Up to seven people can ring together, and whoever picks up first takes the call while everyone else stops ringing. Each person chooses which of their own devices it reaches them on. Your old number forwards to the new one, so families who have it still get through, and we set it all up for you. Once the new number is on your website and Google listing, you can let the old line go and stop paying for it.
What if I want the phone answered too?
That's Essentials at $197 a month. Your phone gets answered when nobody can get to it, your website chat, Instagram and Facebook messages get answered too, and happy families get asked for a review. Same system, same setup, and you can move up any time.
Is there a contract?
No. It's month to month and you can cancel any time — and there's a 14-day free trial before you pay anything at all. If it isn't earning its keep, you stop.
* Plus a one-time setup fee, discussed on the call.
