Answering service for quote requests: a quote drafted during a call from the catalog, waiting for approval

Quote from a call

A quote the AI drafted while the caller was on the line, priced from the catalog and held until a person says yes.

Easy setupSet up everything just by talking to Lisa AISee how ›

You“Sales calls ring the estimators first; if nobody picks up, the AI takes them.”

Lisa“Sales department set to people first, with the AI answering whenever no estimator picks up, evenings included. Apply?”

You talk. Lisa sets it up. Applied only on your yes.

How Quote and Estimate Desks use it

1

A homeowner calls at 7 p.m. about a fence; the AI asks the length and the material, then books the estimator's measurement visit.

2

A buyer asks for twenty standard valves; the AI prices them from your catalog on the call and the quote waits for your yes.

3

A caller wants to talk terms; the AI tells the estimator who is calling and why before the call connects.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

What’s included

  • Keep your number: forward your existing line to your Front Office line and the AI answers immediately, no porting needed. Port the number in when you decide; we handle it with the carrier
  • A local number in your area, or your own number ported in
  • Answers on the first ring, 24/7, 365; your business hours only decide when people are reachable
  • Human-like voice: you choose the voice and the persona per function, greeting, sales, support, booking, callbacks
  • Receptionist style, no phone menu: the caller just talks in any of 40 languages; the AI detects the language on the first sentence and switches the whole call
  • Departments you define, sales, support, booking, billing, technical…, each with its own policy: AI first, operator first, or AI only; each with its own AI specialist when no human is free
  • Directory of your operators with per-day working hours, languages, the nicknames callers use, vacations and temp-worker expiry
  • Transfers announce the caller and the reason; your person accepts before the call is connected; the call is pulled back before a mobile voicemail can swallow it
  • Language routing: a Spanish-speaking caller reaches your Spanish-speaking operator first
  • Hold music with spoken updates; when a person is unavailable the AI says the honest line you wrote for that time of day
  • Takes messages with the callback number read back and confirmed, delivered to that person's own inbox
  • Books appointments live from your calendar during the call; captures the e-mail letter by letter; saves the lead
  • Every fact from your approved knowledge, prices only from your catalog; with no source it says so and offers a person
  • Robocalls and telemarketers get one polite goodbye and stay away from your team
  • Off hours your way: full AI service, take-a-message only, or voicemail; holidays and special closures with the message you write
  • Every call transcribed into the customer's record with a summary; call log with transcripts, exportable; the morning briefing reads it for you

The price call

What an answering service for estimates finishes on the call

Asks what the job needs

Quantities, sizes, the address and the date wanted: the AI hears the request in the caller's own words and asks for the missing piece before it prices anything.

Drafts the quote

Articles of your inventory are priced from the catalog during the call, and the quote waits for your yes before the customer receives it.

Books the estimate visit

With AI Booking added, the caller picks a free time with the estimator who covers the area and hears the confirmation before he hangs up.

Takes a message that stays found

A caller who wants a person leaves a message filed for the right estimator, with the callback number read back digit by digit.

Questions & answers

AI Phone for Quote and Estimate Desks: questions & answers

Can an answering service give prices on the phone?

This AI phone answering for quotes gives prices only from your catalog, read as they stand there, and drafts the quote while the caller is still on the line. It waits for your yes before it goes out, and a price the list does not hold is never guessed.

What happens to quote calls after hours?

For after hours answering for quote calls, you pick what the quote line does once the office closes: the full AI desk, messages only or voicemail. On the full desk the AI asks what the job needs, drafts the quote or books the visit, and the morning briefing lists the price calls of the night.

How does a caller reach an estimator?

As a virtual receptionist for estimators, the AI routes by reason and language. When a caller needs a person, it tells your colleague who is calling and why before the call connects, ringing them on the computer, the phone app or their mobile, in the order each one chooses.

Do I need a new phone number for the quote line?

No. Forward your business line to the Front Office and price calls are answered from that moment, with no porting. A new local number is also available if you want a separate line for quotes.

Is every price call written down?

Yes. Each call the AI answers is saved with its transcript, its summary and its outcome on the customer's record, next to the quote it produced, so the estimator who calls back starts from what was said.
