A call in your business Illustrative conversation · responses depend on your setup **Caller** “Who should I talk to about an EV charger installation?” **Rinzo AI Receptionist** “I can connect you with the team that handles installation estimates.” Next step **Installation estimates** Why the first answer matters ## Every ring can interrupt focused work. Answering a new inquiry should not depend on the electrician on site stopping to find their phone. Give callers a consistent introduction to your company, then let the office or estimating team handle the details that need a person. Use your own business facts, instructions, and documents to shape the conversation. When a caller asks for a person, Rinzo puts them through to a destination you configure. If that person can’t take the call, it takes a message for them. [How the AI Receptionist works →](https://rinzo.ai/ai-receptionist.md) The calls you know well ## What callers can get help with. ### Estimate requests Explain the process for getting an estimate for a panel upgrade, lighting project, or rewiring work. Connect the caller to the estimator who can review the property and scope. ### Specialist services Use your own documentation to explain whether you handle EV chargers, commercial maintenance, or particular installation types. Avoid leaving callers to guess which part of your team they need. ### Existing project calls A customer may need the office, a named team member, or someone handling a current project. Configure those destinations so the receptionist can transfer the call without a long menu. A call, start to finish ## A panel upgrade quote, taken while you are on a ladder. A homeowner calls about an EV charger. The receptionist explains what you need for a quote, answers the permit question from your notes and takes the site visit request. Illustrative call with a fictional business and caller. The receptionist speaks as your business; it mentions being an AI only if asked. Illustrative call Fictional business · fictional caller **Caller** I want an EV charger installed in my garage. Do you do those, and do I need a permit? **Receptionist** Yes, we install Level 2 EV chargers. An electrical permit is required for a new 240-volt circuit, and we take care of it as part of the job. For a quote we usually need a quick look at your panel. Would you like to request a site visit? **Caller** Sure. Roughly what does it cost? **Receptionist** Most installations with a nearby panel fall in a range I can give you, and the visit confirms the exact price before the charger itself. Can I take your name, number and address? **Caller** Priya Nair, 778 555 0190, 42 Elm Street in Coquitlam. **Receptionist** Thanks, Priya.
