Voicemail vs AI Receptionist in Canada

Why voicemail fails

60–70% of callers never call back after a missed call. Voicemail gives you a message but no way to capture the lead unless they call again. Peak hours mean the most calls go to voicemail when you're on a job.

What an AI receptionist does

Answers every call 24/7, qualifies the caller, takes a message or books directly. For missed calls, sends an automatic SMS with your booking link so the caller can schedule without calling back. You get alerts and can take over anytime.

Pricing in Canada

From $79 Essential CAD/mo (full AI answering + SMS follow-up) to $149 Growth (custom script) and $299 Pro. One recovered job often pays for months. 7-day free trial at sowaanswers.com.
