SummitPoint, LLC is a consulting and creative production company that enables organizations with a variety of branding solutions. The company partners with businesses to navigate manufacturing, vendor coordination, and supply chains — helping bring ideas from concept to production efficiently and reliably. For Valentin Reyes, Chief of Staff, it’s of utmost importance that teams, clients, and vendors stay aligned so projects move forward without disruption.
As SummitPoint grew, so did the complexity of managing incoming communication. Calls came from potential clients, vendors, and operational partners, and each missed call could be critical to keeping projects on track.
Before Smith.ai, team members often found themselves answering calls across multiple cell phones. Without a structured system to capture and organize every conversation, it became difficult to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks. At times, Valentin spent more than four hours per day simply managing and fielding inbound calls, taking significant time and energy. Meanwhile, simple questions from clients or vendors could take days to resolve because messages weren’t always captured or routed efficiently.
“If I miss one call, it can really throw off a project on a large scale."
SummitPoint implemented the AI receptionist from Smith.ai to bring structure and consistency to inbound communications. Every call is now answered automatically, and the instant email call summaries provide the team with clear, detailed context about each conversation. The call summaries have made organizing communication much easier: Valentin can forward relevant summaries to the appropriate parties as needed, and team members have all the information they need — without interruptions.
In addition, because the team fields calls from several stakeholders across projects, configurability was essential. Smith.ai’s custom call playbooks allowed SummitPoint to tailor call handling across different caller types. These features have exceeded Valentin’s expectations and proved highly impactful for the team’s workflows.
“I thought I was going to have to correct a lot… but the call summaries have been very good.”
The SummitPoint team attended a major industry expo, which generated increased interest in their services and, as a result, led to a ramp-up in inbound calls. Thanks to the AI receptionist, every call was captured and documented while the team was away from the office. The team returned to organized call summaries and clear follow-up information, enabling them to reconnect with dozens of potential leads they otherwise might have missed.
With organized summaries and clear routing, Valentin now spends significantly less time managing calls. He boasts of going from spending four hours a day fielding conversations to a much reduced rate, where he has the freedom to focus only on the most important conversations. Clients and vendors also receive faster responses because the team can immediately see what each caller needs.
“Smith.ai has helped us organize ourselves so we can clearly get the information that we need to make sure that we're talking and listening to the right people.”
Since implementing Smith.ai, SummitPoint has continued expanding its operations, including launching a new office in Dallas. With a reliable solution handling inbound calls, the company can scale without overwhelming its teams.
From implementation to optimization, Smith.ai’s Support teams have been with Valentin every step of the way, answering his questions and ensuring the company's success. For Valentin, Smith.ai has become far more than a tool for answering phones — it’s an essential operational resource that helps the business stay organized as it grows.
“It’s not an investment or a cost. It’s a resource that’s needed.”
