ROI of an AI Receptionist
Recovery of missed revenue, reduced staff burden, and call quality gains.
Missed calls, OT, and churn reduce ROI; AI recovers revenue and time.
Define the cost problem
- •Abandonment reduces revenue
- •Staff OT and burnout risk
- •Churn resets training cost
Hidden costs
- •Reputation drag from access issues
- •Manager time on hiring/QA
- •Lost referrals from poor access
Rough ranges
- •Recovered calls × visit value
- •Reduced OT/temps
- •Platform vs. incremental headcount
Compare options
- •Add staff/OT
- •Use services/BPO
- •AI intake + human escalation
- •Hybrid tuned by call type
AI reception advantage
- •Captures calls, reduces OT and churn
- •Consistent quality = fewer callbacks
- •ROI from recovered revenue + lower labor
What to do next
- •Model recovered revenue
- •Map OT/temps replaced
- •Track CSAT/abandonment before/after AI
