1. Start with the calls your team cannot answer
Bosseo describes AI Answering as a backstop for unanswered calls rather than a replacement for your front desk. Calls go to your team first; the AI can step in when no one answers within 20 seconds. The public product description also identifies nights, weekends, holidays and overflow as coverage situations. That makes the first Red Lion decision operational: document your actual office hours, lunch coverage, holiday handling and current forwarding rules instead of using the borough’s population as a proxy for telephone demand.
Recommended approach
Bring a recent, representative view of answered calls, voicemail calls and calls that require a callback. If those records are unavailable, agree on what will be measured before changing routing. Ask Bosseo to show how the 20-second safety-net rule would fit your existing number and staff sequence.
