AI Implementation
AI Voice Receptionist
Never miss another call — even at 2am
The problem
Every missed call is a missed opportunity. Studies show 62% of callers won't leave a voicemail — they just call your competitor.
For the average business, missed calls cost $78,000+ per year in lost revenue.

What is it
What is AI Voice Receptionist?
An AI voice receptionist is a software system that answers your business phone calls 24/7 using a lifelike AI voice. It handles FAQs, captures lead information, routes calls, and books appointments — without a human operator.
Most small businesses miss 30-40% of inbound calls, especially after hours. Each missed call is a missed revenue opportunity. AI answers every call instantly, regardless of time, volume, or staffing.

FAQ
Common questions
Will callers know they're talking to AI?
The AI sounds natural and professional. We're transparent about using AI, but most clients find their customers prefer it — no hold music, instant answers, available 24/7.
What happens with complex questions it can't answer?
The AI is trained on your full knowledge base and handles 85-90% of calls without escalation. For the rest, it takes a message and flags it for immediate callback.
Can it book appointments in my existing system?
Yes — we integrate with Google Calendar, Calendly, Jane App, Mindbody, and most scheduling platforms. If you use something else, we build the integration.
How long does setup take?
We go live in 48 hours. Setup call day 1, training and testing day 2, live on day 3.
What does it cost?
Implementation starts at $497. Monthly retainer is $297/mo which covers all call minutes, updates, and monitoring.
