1. Make the 20-second handoff explicit
Bosseo’s public AI Answering page describes a team-first sequence: the firm’s people receive the first ring, and the AI answers when nobody picks up within 20 seconds. It is presented as a safety net for unanswered calls rather than a replacement for the front desk. That distinction matters for a Morrisville practice because the town’s recorded county relationships span Durham County and Wake County. If your firm serves callers across both counties, one missed-call rule should not obscure who owns the callback or which office context applies.
Recommended approach
Document the current ring path before deciding whether the proposed handoff fits. Specify who answers first, which calls may overflow, whether the same rule applies after hours and on holidays, and who reviews an urgent summary. Ask Bosseo to demonstrate the handoff using your firm’s intended practice-area and service-area language. Do not treat the town’s population estimate as a forecast of call volume; measure your own unanswered calls instead.
