1. Start with the calls your team cannot take
Bosseo describes AI Answering as a safety net: calls go to the team first, and the AI answers when nobody picks up within 20 seconds. It also describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays, and overflow. For a Kings Mountain firm, the implementation decision is therefore operational, not demographic. Your firm should identify the situations that create unanswered calls and distinguish them from calls that should continue to a person. Do not use the city’s population as a substitute for call records or staffing evidence.
Recommended approach
Bring recent phone-system information to the consultation if available: answer timing, voicemail use, overflow conditions, after-hours rules, and calls that need a faster callback. Decide whether the 20-second handoff described by Bosseo fits your current front-desk workflow.
