You are with a customer, on a job, or closed for the day. The phone still rings.
If nobody answers, that caller does not have a next step. A Harvard Business Review study of online sales leads found firms that tried to contact a lead within an hour were nearly 7 times as likely to qualify it, a meaningful conversation with a decision-maker, as firms that waited another hour. Oldroyd, McElheran & Elkington, “The Short Life of Online Sales Leads,” Harvard Business Review, March 2011.

Where the calls get lost
The problems owners describe.
You are with a customer.
The person who would pick up is already busy. The phone still rings. If nobody else can answer, the call goes to voicemail.
After hours is the same unanswered call.
Evenings and weekends are when a customer has time to call. The business is closed, and the call lands in the mailbox.
Overflow is a second missed call.
One line is already busy. The next caller does not wait. They get voicemail too.
A first call has no history.
Someone new leaves a message, or they don't. You still need their name, a way to reach them, and what they wanted.

How does pricing work?

Will callers know they are talking to AI?
Yes. It tells them. Most callers care more that someone answered and that the next step is clear. It follows the script you approve.
What if it gets something wrong?
You can see the calls, and a person can step in at any time. You decide what should be passed to your team right away. We do not claim it never makes a mistake.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. The receptionist works with the phone number and calendar you already have. You do not need a new phone system.
Can I pause it in the off-season?
You can pause for up to 6 months and keep your number and settings, then pick up where you left off.
Does it answer after hours?
Yes. It answers every call 24/7, including after hours and overflow, on the number you already publish.
Where does an appointment get booked?
Into a slot you allowed on Google Calendar or Outlook. It does not offer a time you have not opened.
What do I receive after a call?
The caller's name, a way to reach them, and what they needed. A booked visit includes the time.
Can it answer questions about my business?
Yes. Common questions are answered from the script you approve. Anything outside that script is sent to you.
How soon can it go live?
Simple builds usually go live within about two weeks of your kickoff call. Other apps quoted on request take longer, and we give you a date before you pay.
Is texting part of the setup?
Texting is available on request. Texting is included with Answer + Follow-Up and Full Front Desk. On the Answer plan, texting is $25/mo on request.
