Vendasta AI Receptionist

Sunday lead, booked for Thursday alone

The Xcite Group, a marketing agency, put an AI receptionist on its website. The receptionist, named Sophia in the case study, vets each inquiry. It sorts real sales leads from low-value pitches. It offers live meeting times from the agency calendar. It books the meeting. It sends the partner a full summary before the meeting starts. Partner Michael Klabon is quoted by name. This is a vendor case study, so the claims are the vendor's and the partner's.

How it wentOn the first weekend, a plumbing company from Washington wrote in on a Sunday afternoon. The receptionist answered its questions, checked its intent, and booked a meeting for Thursday. Human effort: zero minutes, the case study says. In the meeting, the prospect called the agent amazing and knowledgeable (case study claims).
