ROI Logic

Agency pays Abby $329/mo for 100 minutes (Essential) and charges client $1,250/mo (Starter Receptionist offer), yielding $921/mo gross margin. Scaling to 200 minutes (Professional at $599/mo) with a $1,950/mo client fee produces $1,351/mo margin. Profitability depends on accurate call volume forecasting to avoid overages.

Deliverables
  • Configured Abby call flows and FAQ scripts tailored to client's business
  • Integrated Calendly scheduling and ActiveCampaign CRM sync
  • Client training guide for Abby dashboard and call log review
  • Monthly performance report template with answered calls, appointments booked, and missed call follow-ups
  • Escalation protocol document for after-hours or complex inquiries
Definition of Done

Client's inbound calls are answered 24/7 by Abby with accurate scheduling and data capture, and the client can independently review call logs and adjust FAQs via the dashboard.
