Answering service for consulting firms

Smith.ai is the top answering service for consulting firms. We answer calls, handle live chats, and collect payments with our live virtual receptionists.

Get work done while we handle the calls

There's too much for consultants to do: Calls, client meetings, reports. And you can’t delegate expert work. Hand off "the rest" to our receptionists.

Quality leads will grow your business

You only get one chance to make a first impression. A virtual receptionist plays a vital role in welcoming a client to your business, and highlights your responsiveness and availability.

We handle the entire “frontline” of your lead flow so you never need to worry about coverage.

An extension of your office

Our virtual receptionists qualify new leads, schedule appointments, make outbound calls, accept payments, log notes in your CRM, send follow-up messages, and much much more.

24/7 web chat and texts

Prospective clients come to your website with questions. With 24/7 live chat, we can respond in seconds and turn website visitors into clients. Plus, we can answer your texts as well.

Powerful call intelligence gives your business the lead

Make better business decisions with real-time call data, visualized in every Smith.ai client dashboard. Every call summary is enriched with metadata including actions completed, caller disposition, priority, relevance, call recording and transcription, and more. See the big picture with historical tables and charts to predict business growth, costs, and ROI with superior accuracy.

Outreach calls and campaigns speed-up sales and support

Smith.ai receptionists make calls on your behalf, improving your speed-to-lead and unburdening staff who need to reach out to clients. We'll call-back online leads who complete web forms, contact donors for donation renewals, chase down payments on unpaid invoices, and more. We'll even send follow-up emails and texts after every call to ensure a connection is made.
