The affordable AI phone support for small business
Running a business isn’t easy. Every day, no matter if you operate a busy law firm or chiropractic office, it seems like there are a hundred things to do, and that includes somehow making time to answer phones (if you’re not already spending a ton on an answering service).
Yet some calls might get by you, and you’re kicking yourself because it could’ve been a chance to lock in a new client or connect with a current one.
That’s why we built Upfirst—because we want call answering to be affordable for small businesses, so anyone could give quality phone support to their customers.
Not only will our AI provide human-like support, but it’ll set appointments, screen for leads, route calls, take messages, answer common questions, and so much more at the fraction of the price of traditional answering and virtual receptionist services.
So get ahead of the competition by answering every call that comes your way, reduce costs, and give your callers a voice they can always reach out to.
