1. Make the unanswered-call rule explicit
Bosseo describes a team-first routing model: calls ring your people first, and AI Answering steps in when nobody answers within 20 seconds. That distinction matters if your Glen Cove office already has a receptionist, intake coordinator or attorney taking calls. The product is presented as a backstop rather than a replacement. You should decide exactly which calls qualify for the handoff: every unanswered call, only calls outside office hours, or calls that arrive while all staff are occupied. The answer should come from your phone process, not from Glen Cove’s population or an assumption about local demand.
Recommended approach
Map your existing call path from first ring to voicemail. Identify who owns the call during business hours, what happens during lunch or meetings, and whether a caller can reach a human path on weekends and holidays. Then evaluate the 20-second handoff against your firm’s preferred response standard.
