In the modern business environment, phone calls remain one of the most valuable lead sources, with 68% of consumers preferring to call when making high-stakes purchasing decisions. However, this critical channel is often neglected, as industry data reveals that nearly one in four business calls go unanswered.
These missed opportunities do not just frustrate customers—they translate directly into lost revenue, wasted marketing spend, and declining ROI. For example, a single auto dealership spending £10,000 monthly on Google Ads may lose £2,000–£3,000 worth of leads every month due to unanswered calls.
An AI Voice Assistant, implemented through advanced call automation and conversation analytics platforms, is the essential solution for capturing and optimising every consumer interaction.
