1. Set coverage around your actual Mount Vernon practice
A firm serving Mount Vernon may receive calls during office hours, after hours, on weekends or during periods when staff are already occupied. Instead, review your own unanswered-call records by time, caller type and urgency. Bosseo’s public AI Answering page says your team gets the first ring and the AI acts as a backstop when nobody answers within 20 seconds. That makes the central question operational: which calls should remain with staff, and which unanswered calls should move to the AI?
Recommended approach
Bring a recent call record or phone-system report to the consultation. Decide whether the first version should cover after-hours calls, lunch periods, holidays, overflow, or all unanswered calls. Keep the rule tied to your team’s real availability rather than to assumptions about Mount Vernon demand.
