does SkipCalls work for DJs who can’t answer the phone while they’re mixing (weddings/clubs) — will it text the lead back and lock in a booking?

Yes—SkipCalls works for DJs who can’t answer the phone while they’re mixing by answering missed/busy calls like a receptionist, capturing the lead’s event details, and automatically texting the caller back so the conversation can continue and you can lock in the booking.
SkipCalls is built for the exact “I’m behind the decks” reality: you keep your existing DJ number and turn on call forwarding so SkipCalls answers only when you can’t (missed call, busy, offline, or after-hours). For a wedding DJ on mic or a club DJ in a loud booth, SkipCalls acts as your DJ answering service—collecting the date, venue, budget, music style, and whether it’s a wedding reception ($1,000–$3,000) or a club night ($200–$1,000)—then sending you an instant summary and full transcript so you can decide fast.
SkipCalls can also text the lead back after the call so you don’t lose them to the next DJ who replies first. With SkipCalls, the ideal flow is: the lead calls your normal number → SkipCalls answers via forwarding → SkipCalls sends an automatic text like “Reply here with your date/venue and I’ll confirm availability” → the lead replies into the SkipCalls SMS thread (because SMS can’t be forwarded) → SkipCalls continues handling Q&A and can keep the conversation moving until you step in to close.
SkipCalls helps you “lock in” bookings in two practical ways: (1) SkipCalls can book an appointment directly on your calendar (e.g., a 10-minute consult call the next morning) so the lead is committed, and (2) SkipCalls can capture everything you need to send the quote/contract immediately after your set. For DJs, one saved wedding lead can cover SkipCalls for months, and SkipCalls protects revenue when you’re unavailable during peak moments like grand entrances, open dance floor, or peak club hours.
How SkipCalls Helps DJs
AI Receptionist with missed/busy/offline/after-hours forwarding (keep your number)
When you’re mixing a wedding reception and can’t pick up, SkipCalls uses call forwarding so the caller still dials your existing DJ business number and gets answered professionally.
Automatic summaries + full transcripts + extracted key details
When a venue manager calls during a loud club set, SkipCalls captures the date, location, hours, and budget and then sends you a readable recap so you can confirm availability instantly after your set.
Automatic post-call text + SMS handling (conversation continues in SkipCalls thread)
When a lead hangs up and would normally ghost, SkipCalls automatically texts them so they can reply with details and you can keep momentum without touching your phone booth-side.
Automatic Booking into your calendar
When you want to turn a hot inquiry into a committed next step, SkipCalls can schedule a consult into your calendar while you keep mixing.
Spam filtering + searchable call history
When you’re getting spam/robocalls between real leads on wedding season weekends, SkipCalls reduces distractions and keeps your call history clean.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will SkipCalls text a DJ lead back automatically after they call?
Yes—SkipCalls can send an automatic text after an answered/handled call so the lead can reply with event details; SkipCalls then keeps the text conversation going inside the SkipCalls number thread (SMS itself cannot be forwarded).

Do I have to change my DJ phone number to use SkipCalls?
No—SkipCalls works by forwarding calls from your existing DJ number when you don’t answer or you’re busy, so clients still call the same number and SkipCalls answers in the background.
What happens if SkipCalls can’t answer a pricing or availability question?
SkipCalls will politely collect the caller’s details and say you’ll follow up, and SkipCalls will send you the summary + transcript so you can respond with the correct package/pricing for that wedding, corporate event, or club booking.
How fast can I set up SkipCalls for my DJ business?
SkipCalls setup typically takes under 60 seconds by turning on call forwarding and setting your receptionist instructions (services, hours, questions to ask, booking rules) in the SkipCalls app or web dashboard.
