Why invest in a $3000 AI Voice Agent for your business?

Lets break down the costs for each:

Imagine hiring a human receptionist to answer calls during off business hours.

Here’s the cost:

  • >$16.50/hour (average minimum wage in Canada)
  • >40 hours/week, including weekends
  • >Total cost: $2,640 month or $31,680 per year (not including benefits, training hours)

Now, let’s compare that with an AI Digital Voice Assistant:

$3000 setup cost (one-time) $500/month maintenance Total: $9000/year. $6000 starting 2nd year.

For just 1/4th of the cost, you get a receptionist that:

  • Works 24/7 without breaks
  • Never takes holidays or sick days
  • Communicates in several languages
  • Provides detailed reports through a simple dashboard

Meanwhile, a human receptionist might:

  • Take unnecessary breaks
  • Call in sick or take holidays, impacting your business
  • Be unavailable on weekends
  • Speak only one language
  • Have moments of low productivity
  • Cost to hire and train

The numbers speak for themselves.
