Human in the loop
Hands over to your people, with the whole story.
When a call needs a person, it goes to one of yours, not a call centre you’ve never met. The brief reaches them before they pick up, so nobody asks the caller to start again. Your team stays small and takes only the calls that need it.
- Parts to every brief

- Times the caller starts again

The everyday work, done the same way every time.
Respond counts its own work: calls answered, after hours, spam blocked, passed to a person, and why each unbooked call didn’t book. [Strand name] coaches whoever takes a transfer.
Books into your calendar.
Appointments, in the slots you set.
Answers the everyday questions.
Hours, areas, what you do and don’t do.

Confirms by text.
[proposed] The time, the place and who they’ll see.
Questions
What owners ask about Respond.
Do we have to change our number?
No. Your number forwards to the agent when nobody picks up, so your team still answers first.
What happens when it can’t help?
It passes the call to one of your people with a brief, so the caller doesn’t repeat themselves. Only when the call needs a person.
Will callers know it isn’t a person?
[How the agent introduces itself, set per client and per province or state. To confirm.]
How long until it’s live?
Two to four weeks. We write the call flows for your business, connect your calendar and software, and test on your own calls first.
Can we hear it first?
Yes. Talk to Luxie in the chat at the bottom of the page, or book a demo and we’ll call you as your own business.
