Why We Built Get Booked Out

Built by someone who got tired of leaving voicemails

Get Booked Out was built by Michael Thomas, an Australian business owner who has spent more than $17.5 million on property and six figures on renovations — and lost count of how many times he picked up the phone, called a local tradie, got no answer, and just moved on to the next one. He kept seeing the same thing: brilliant business owners who were incredible at their craft but losing thousands of dollars a month because they were too busy doing the work to answer the phone. Get Booked Out is the system he wished every one of those businesses had.

The system every Australian tradie deserves

I'm Michael, the founder of Get Booked Out.

I've built a $17.5 million property portfolio. I've spent six figures on renovations. And I've lost count of how many times I've called a business, got no answer, and just moved on to the next one.

Here's what I kept seeing: Business owners who were incredible at what they do but terrible at answering the phone. People who could run a flawless service—but couldn't respond to an enquiry within 24 hours.

I'd call. No answer. I'd leave a voicemail. Nothing. I'd find someone else.

The frustrating part? I knew these businesses were losing jobs they didn't even know about. Not because they weren't good enough—but because they were too busy doing the work to answer the phone.

That's why I built Get Booked Out.

It's the system I wish every business I tried to hire had. Missed call? Instant text back. Website enquiry? Handled automatically. Reviews? Requested after every job.

You focus on the work. We make sure the phone doesn't cost you jobs.
