Beautiful spaces take time—but so does answering every inquiry
While you're presenting mood boards or walking through showrooms, potential $30K+ projects are calling competitors. Each missed call could be your next dream project.
Free consultations with budget-mismatched clients waste your creative energy. Without pre-qualification, you're guessing who can actually invest in your services.
Quick phone notes don't capture the nuances of client preferences. Walking into consultations unprepared means missed connections and longer sales cycles.
From inquiry to consultation booked in one seamless call
Your AI receptionist answers every call in under 2 rings with a sophisticated greeting customized to your design firm's brand.
The AI gathers key info: project type, scope, style preferences, budget range, timeline, and whether they're working with contractors.
Qualified prospects get consultations booked immediately based on your calendar availability and consultation types.
Lead details sync automatically to Houzz Pro, Design Manager, or your CRM with full notes and style preferences.
"Thank you for calling Mitchell Interior Design Studio. This is Sophia, how may I assist you with your design project today?"
"Hi, we just bought a new home and need help with the entire main floor. We're thinking modern farmhouse style."
"Congratulations on your new home! Modern farmhouse is a beautiful style—warm yet sophisticated. To connect you with the right designer, may I ask about your timeline? Are you looking to start within the next few weeks or planning ahead?"
"We'd like to start soon. We're moving in about 3 months and want everything ready."
"That's an ideal timeline for a full main floor design. I have consultation availability this Thursday at 2 PM or Friday at 10 AM. During this complimentary consultation, Sarah will discuss your vision, walk through our design process, and provide a customized proposal. Which time works better for you?"

AgentZap's AI receptionist handles inquiries professionally while you're at client meetings, showrooms, or site visits.
AgentZap's AI voice receptionist qualifies leads by asking key questions during the call: Is this residential or commercial? What's the project scope (single room, whole home, renovation)?
