The best way to show the power of our AI receptionist is to let your clients experience it for themselves. Offering a free trial is a proven method for converting leads into long-term customers.

• Proven Strategy: According to a study by HubSpot, offering a free trial increases conversion rates by 34% compared to standard cold outreach.
• Actionable Tip: During the trial, actively engage with the client to ensure they understand how to leverage the features. Show them how the AI handles scheduling, customer inquiries, and other tasks. You can now do this using our webhooks feature that you can find in your admin dashboard.

3. Use Consultative Selling to Address Pain Points

Consultative selling is one of the most effective strategies in reselling AI receptionist services. This approach focuses on understanding the client’s unique business challenges and providing personalized solutions.

Step-by-Step Process:

Qualify the Prospect:

Ask questions to understand their pain points. Are they struggling with high call volumes? Do they need to automate scheduling? You will always sell better when asking the right questions.

Some of the great questions are: 

1. General Business Challenges

• What are the biggest challenges you face in managing customer calls and inquiries?
• How do you currently handle customer inquiries and appointment scheduling?
• Are you experiencing issues with missed calls, messages, or appointments?
• Do you find that your team spends too much time on routine tasks like answering calls or responding to emails?

2. Customer Service and Call Management

• How do you manage call volume during busy hours or after hours?
• What happens when all of your staff is occupied with other clients or in meetings?
• Are there any specific times or scenarios when you experience a high volume of calls (e.g., after business hours, weekends)?
• How often do you miss important calls or messages due to high call volume?
• Do your customers often complain about long hold times or waiting to speak to someone?

3. Appointment Scheduling and Management

• How do you currently handle appointment scheduling and reminders?
• Do you face challenges with clients missing or rescheduling appointments?
• What is your current process for managing cancellations or reschedules?
• Would you like to automate appointment bookings and confirmations?

4. Business Growth and Scalability

• As your business grows, how are you managing the increase in client interactions and appointments?
• Are you looking for ways to scale your operations without increasing staff?

5. Customer Experience and Retention

• How satisfied are your clients with your current customer service process?
• What feedback have you received from clients regarding your responsiveness or service availability?

7. Cost and Efficiency

• How much are you currently spending on customer support and call handling (e.g., staff, call centers, etc.)?
• Are you looking to reduce operational costs without compromising customer service quality?
• Do you feel that you are getting the most efficiency out of your current customer service setup?

8. Technology and Integration

• Do you currently use any tools or software to manage appointments or customer interactions?
• Would it be helpful to integrate your customer management tools with an AI receptionist for seamless operation?
• How important is it for you to have an easy-to-use, scalable solution that doesn’t require extensive technical knowledge to operate?

9. After-Hours Support

• How do you handle customer service after hours or during holidays?
• Are there recurring issues with customer requests or calls outside of business hours?

4. Build Strong Relationships with Ongoing Support

Selling AI receptionist services doesn’t end with the initial sale. Successful resellers build long-term relationships by offering exceptional support and guidance throughout the client’s journey.

• Ongoing Engagement: Stay connected with clients after the sale through monthly check-ins or post-sale support calls. Help them get the most out of the product by educating them on new features and optimizations.

You can find our unbranded product tutorials for all features under chapter 11 in your admin dashboard.

• Value of Retention: According to Salesforce, retaining a customer costs 5 times less than acquiring a new one. Plus, existing customers are 50% more likely to purchase additional products or services.
• Actionable Tip 1: Set up intercom support in your admin dashboard. Here is the tutorial on how to do that: https://www.myaifrontdesk.com/reseller-tutorials/connect-with-intercom-to-offer-support-to-your-clients. With intercom your clients can contact you through their own dashboard and you can offer quick seemless support. ‍
• Actionable Tip 2: Set up custom buttons in your clients' dashboard. You will find this option under Branding configuration --> Branding in your admin dashboard. You can redirect your clients to your website or you can prompt them to book a call with you. This option gives you another layer of customization and gives you more options for clients interaction.
