Humans vs. Machines

Inside Sales Agents (ISAs) are vital for lead qualification, but they are expensive, need sleep, take vacations, and eventually churn. An entry-level ISA costs $50k+ per year and handles ~100 calls a day.

This calculator compares that cost to an AI. An AI receptionist works 24/7/365, handles infinite concurrent calls, never complains, and costs a fraction of a human salary.

The "Hybrid" Model

You don't have to fire your team. You can supercharge them. Use AI to handle the "grunt work"—qualifying inbound leads, answering basic questions, and scheduling appointments.

High-Value Humans

By offloading the low-value tasks to an AI Phone Receptionist, your human agents can focus 100% of their time on closing deals. They stop being "appointment setters" and start being "closers." This increases job satisfaction and revenue per employee.
