Alice answers after-hours calls, captures the reason for the call, and follows your rules for service requests, messages, and urgent escalations.
Customers often call outside business hours. If all after-hours calls go to voicemail, ready-to-book leads may call another provider.
Voicemail loses ready-to-book callers
Per-minute fees can be hard to predict
Missed calls create lost opportunities
