    FAQ’S



    What similarities do they have?


    • You can have multiple scripts on the same account
      • Can use both AI-Connect and Live Reception at the same time
    • Warm Transfer (similar to call screening) will allow a customer to accept a call with a yes.
    • Extension CHR setups will be followed through completely every time it is transferred to an extension. For example, if the extension rings the mobile app, then forwards to an external number, both actions will be followed prior to the scripting next destination
    • Charges are billed per script, and annual billing is due the moment the script is made for the remainder of the cycle.

     

    Why would I choose one over the other?

    Our Live Answer Connect service is ideal for businesses that want to provide white glove service to callers during business hours.  The live answer agents are capable of setting appointments, providing basic business information, and getting calls and messages to the right team members.

    AI-Connect is an inexpensive  solution that doesn't use real humans but is still able to screen and route calls efficiently and effectively and manage appointments for callers.
