1. Start with the calls your team cannot answer
Bosseo describes AI Answering as a backstop for a firm’s existing team. Calls go to the front desk first; if nobody answers within 20 seconds, the AI can pick up. The stated coverage includes nights, weekends, holidays, and overflow. This matters for a Belle Plaine practice because the relevant service area is the firm’s actual phone coverage—not Belle Plaine’s population, and not a presumed level of legal demand. Before evaluating the product, identify the hours, situations, and call paths that currently end in voicemail or an unanswered line.
Recommended approach
Review a representative period of your own call records. Separate unanswered calls by time, reason, caller type, and urgency. Do not assume that every missed call is a prospective client. Decide whether AI Answering should function only as after-hours protection, as an overflow path, or in both roles.
