When an AI receptionist is worth it
The value comes from calls that today go unanswered. If those callers hang up and call another business, each one can be lost work.
- You or your team can’t pick up while you’re with a customer, on a job site or driving.
- Calls keep coming at night, on weekends or on holidays.
- Callers want simple things: book, move or cancel an appointment, ask for a quote, give an address.
- Some of your customers prefer to speak Spanish.
- You want every call written down, with a recording and a transcript, instead of notes on paper.
When it is probably not worth it
An AI receptionist is not for every business, and it is better to know that before paying.
- You almost never miss a call, and your voicemail rarely fills up.
- Most calls need information from a system the AI is not connected to, like an order status or a patient file.
- Every call is a long, complex sale that only a specialist can handle.
- Your business is outside the United States: for now the Autorys receptionist is available only to US businesses.
The simple math
Count missed calls
Take one normal week and count the calls you did not answer.
Estimate how many would buy
Of those callers, how many would have become customers? Use your own experience, not someone else’s average.
Multiply by what a customer is worth
If one customer is worth more than $149 USD, recovering a single one a month already pays for the receptionist.
What you get for $149 USD a month
The Autorys AI Phone Receptionist answers 24/7 in English and Spanish, books appointments in your CRM calendar, can transfer calls to up to 3 people at your business with notice, and sends you an email and a CRM alert after every call with a summary, the recording and the transcript. The CRM is included.
It includes 500 minutes and a phone number, with no setup fee. Extra minutes cost $0.15 USD each.
How to find out without risk
The quickest test is to call the demo receptionist at +1 332 241 7428 and act like one of your customers: ask for an appointment, ask a question it shouldn’t know, ask for a person. If it handles your typical call, it will most likely handle your real ones.
