How they set it up

  1. Give the agent your hours, services, fees and when to transfer to a person.
  2. Connect it to your CRM so it sees real availability.
  3. Let it answer after-hours and overflow calls, qualify the job and book it.
  4. Save every booking first so nothing is lost if a connection fails.
  5. Read the call summaries each morning.

Result

423 calls handled, 51 appointments booked (a 30.5% booking rate), $26,000+ in booked job value, including $8,455 from calls that would have gone to voicemail. Every call comes with a summary and transcript. (as reported by the source)
