Professional Services

Law firms, accounting practices, consulting agencies. Your value is in the work, not the intake. Every minute spent on routine calls is a minute not spent on billable work.

The Math

Plus the new clients you were missing while on the phone with existing ones.

The Problem

Professional services have a phone paradox:

• Responsiveness matters: Clients expect prompt callbacks from their lawyer or accountant
• Interruptions kill productivity: Context-switching destroys deep work
• New client intake: Potential clients call, get voicemail, call someone else
• Routine questions: "What's the status of my case?" consumes hours weekly
• After-hours expectations: Clients want to feel they can reach you

You can't bill for answering phones, but you can't afford to miss calls either.

The Solution

An AI that handles calls like a skilled receptionist:

• Professional first impression: Callers speak to a polished, knowledgeable voice
• New client intake: Collects information so you're prepared when you call back
• Existing client routing: Urgent matters escalate; routine matters get handled
• Calendar scheduling: Books consultations without your involvement
• Confidentiality: Secure handling of sensitive client matters

In Action

New Client Inquiry (Law):

Caller: "I need to talk to someone about a divorce."
AI: "I understand. Let me gather some basic information so
     Attorney Chen can be prepared when she calls you back.
     Is this your first time going through this process?"
[Collects relevant intake information]
AI: "Thank you. Attorney Chen typically calls new clients
     within 2 business hours. Would you prefer a call back
     today or would you like to schedule a specific time
     for a consultation?"

Existing Client (Accounting):

Caller: "This is Michael Thompson. Is my tax return ready?"
AI: "Let me check on that for you, Michael. I see your return
     is in final review and should be ready by Friday. Would
     you like a call when it's ready to sign, or would you
     prefer to come into the office?"

Consultation Booking:

Caller: "I'd like to schedule a consultation about estate planning."
AI: "I can help with that. Our initial estate planning consultations
     are 45 minutes and there's no charge for the first meeting.
     Attorney Williams has availability Thursday at 2pm or
     Friday at 10am. Which works better?"

Urgent Matter:

Caller: "I just got served with papers and my court date is Monday."
AI: "I understand this is urgent. Let me connect you with someone
     who can help right away. Please hold for just a moment."
