The phone problem for small businesses
- The owner answers the phone while trying to do the actual work.
- Hiring a receptionist is expensive and hard to keep covered.
- Missed calls go to competitors.
- Evenings are spent returning voicemails.
Every unanswered call is a customer deciding whether to wait for a callback or call someone else. Most call someone else. An AI receptionist removes that moment entirely.
