1. Make unanswered calls visible without guessing at demand
A Livingston firm may receive calls from people in the town, elsewhere in Polk County or beyond its immediate municipality. Start with your own phone system: compare answered calls, voicemail calls, abandoned calls, overflow and after-hours activity. Separate current-client calls from new inquiries before deciding what an answering system must do. Bosseo describes AI Answering as a backstop when the firm does not answer, including after-hours, weekends, holidays and overflow. Bosseo states that the system can answer within 20 seconds, handle up to 20 simultaneous calls and provide a transcript and summary after the call.
Recommended approach
Bring a defined review period of phone records to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to map each unanswered-call category to a response path rather than treating every ring as a potential new matter.
