1. Start with the calls your team cannot reliably cover
Bosseo describes AI Answering as covering nights, weekends, holidays and overflow. Its stated setup sends each call to your team first; the AI steps in when nobody answers within 20 seconds. That distinction matters if you want backup rather than a replacement for your front desk. An Eden Prairie firm should map the hours and situations in which its current phone path changes: closed-office periods, lunch, meetings, court appearances and simultaneous calls. The city’s relationship to Hennepin County can help you state the intended geographic scope of your service, but it cannot tell you how many callers will need assistance.
Recommended approach
Review a representative period of your own call records. Separate answered calls, voicemail calls, abandoned calls and calls that arrived outside your preferred coverage. Decide which categories should trigger the backup and which should remain with staff. Ask Bosseo to demonstrate how the 20-second handoff would fit your existing number and routing.
