1. Keep your team first in the answering path
Bosseo’s public AI Answering page describes a team-first sequence: calls ring your people first, and the AI steps in when nobody answers within 20 seconds. The stated purpose is to cover calls that would otherwise reach voicemail, including nights, weekends, holidays and overflow. For a firm serving El Dorado, the decision is not whether every call should be handled identically. It is whether your current phone system sends an unanswered call to a defined fallback, and whether that fallback reflects your firm’s responsibility to current clients as well as potential new clients. Ask Bosseo to show how your existing number, front-desk routing and unanswered-call rule would work. Do not treat the local population estimate as proof that you need additional coverage; use your own phone records to assess that question.
Recommended approach
Review one complete call path for office hours, lunch periods, evenings, weekends and holidays. Decide when the AI may answer, which calls should remain with your team, and who owns the callback when a call is classified as urgent.
