Question 1

Does this replace my staff?

Accepted Answer

Not unless you want it to. If you have a receptionist, LeadReceptor takes the phone off their plate so they can focus on scheduling, walk-ins, and everything else, instead of being tied to every ring. By default it answers everything on the first ring; if you’d rather your team pick up first, we can set it as backup at setup instead.

Question 2

How fast can it be set up?

Accepted Answer

Fast. After you sign up we configure LeadReceptor and email you a dedicated number, usually the same day. You forward your shop line to it, or publish the new number. If you'd rather port your existing number over instead of forwarding, that takes longer and depends on your carrier; we'll tell you the timeline up front.

Question 3

Can it just handle after-hours calls?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is an optional setup. By default it answers every call on the first ring. If you ask for backup mode instead, we set your line to forward or overflow to it, so it only picks up nights, weekends, or calls your team doesn’t get to. Nothing changes about how you already answer the phone.

Question 4

Is there a long-term contract?

Accepted Answer

No. It’s month to month, cancel anytime. We’d rather earn your business every month.

Question 5

Will callers know it’s not a real person?

Accepted Answer

Most don’t. It uses a natural voice, responds instantly, and lets people interrupt or talk over it the way a real conversation works. It already knows your services, hours, and area. Call our own line and hear it yourself before you buy.

Question 6

What happens if it doesn’t know the answer?

Accepted Answer

It qualifies the lead, takes a message, and notifies you (or transfers the call if you’ve set that up). It never pretends to know something it doesn’t.

Question 7

How do I get the job after a call?

Accepted Answer

It collects the caller's name, address, the problem, and how urgent it is, then emails you the recap and full transcript right after the call. You call back with a price and a time. If a caller needs a human right now, it can warm-transfer to your cell instead.

Question 8

How do you train it on my business?

Accepted Answer

We build a custom knowledge base for your company during setup. We load your services, service areas, hours, common questions, booking rules, and call scenarios so the AI answers and books like one of your own employees. You don’t have to train it yourself. We handle the heavy lifting.

Question 9

Are there setup fees or hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts. You pay the monthly rate and can cancel anytime.

Question 10

Do I have to change my phone number?

Accepted Answer

No. We give you a dedicated receptionist number and you forward your existing line to it, always or only when nobody picks up. Callers still dial the number they know. If you’d rather publish the new number on your site and ads, you can do that instead.

Question 11

How do I know what happened on a call?

Accepted Answer

After every call we email you a summary and the full transcript: who called, what they needed, and what they were told. Nothing to log into, nothing to check. It lands in your inbox. Want a live callback instead? The AI can transfer the caller straight to you.

Question 12

What happens after you go live?

Accepted Answer

We keep tuning it. Reply to any call email with what should have happened differently and we adjust the greeting, questions, or transfer rules. Ongoing optimization is included.

Question 13

Can I add other agents later, like sales or support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you're live with the receptionist, you can add a Sales agent, Support agent, Tech agent, Personal assistant agent, or a Custom agent. We build them on top of your existing setup. Just tell us what you want next.

Question 14

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

$147/month, or $1,617/year (one month free). No setup fees, no contract, cancel anytime, and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
