5. Re-engagement of cold leads at day 30, 60, 90
6. Recurring service reminders (annual HVAC tune-ups, quarterly pest control)
7. Pipeline stage notifications to your sales rep
8. Missed-call text-back (see our other guide)
9. Birthday / anniversary soft-touch messages

How much does an AI receptionist cost for a small business?
Most small-business AI receptionists run $97–$497/month depending on call volume, integrations, and after-hours coverage. A single recovered booking usually covers the month.
Can an AI receptionist actually book appointments?
Yes, a properly configured AI receptionist answers in under two rings, qualifies the caller, checks your calendar, books the slot, and sends an SMS confirmation without a human in the loop.
What happens to missed calls when I'm on the job?
The AI picks up, captures the lead, texts the caller a booking link, and notifies you in real time, recovering the 60%+ of missed calls that would never call back.
