A product portfolio at the cutting edge. Including Aila & Amy, our AI Receptionist that answers and qualifies calls 24/7, and Conversational Intelligence, which turns every customer call, chat and email into actionable insight. You'll be selling tools that are genuinely ahead of the market, not repackaged legacy tech.
And the cost? AI voice agents can start as low as $99 a month. Compare that to the cost of hiring a full-time receptionist or the revenue you're losing from missed calls. It's honestly a no-brainer, unless you enjoy listening to the sound of opportunity dialing your competitor instead. Fair point. So the real question becomes, can you afford not to have this running? Exactly. Every missed call is a competitor's opportunity. Columbus has a growing market, and contractors who answer first are the ones who win the business. That first responder advantage is real. Well, this has been eye-opening. Thanks for breaking down how AI answering helps contractors capture those after-hours leads and the real financial impact it can have.
Mm-hmm. Wow. And that's where AI answering services come in. They're designed to capture leads around the clock, 24-7, so you never miss that initial contact. I actually saw this firsthand with a contractor I know who was losing weekend calls constantly. Once he set up an AI system, his quote requests doubled in the first month alone. Okay, so walk me through how this actually works. A customer calls after hours, and then what? The AI picks up on your existing phone number. It can understand industry terminology, answer common questions, collect caller information, and even schedule appointments, all without anyone on your team lifting a finger.
