A call in your business Illustrative conversation · responses depend on your setup **Caller** “Do you paint kitchen cabinets, or only walls?” **Rinzo AI Receptionist** “I can check the services we offer. If cabinets are a fit, I can connect you with the team that arranges estimates.” Next step **Estimating team** Why the first answer matters ## A wet wall and a ringing phone rarely fit together. Your painters are on ladders, cutting in, or cleaning up between coats. A caller who wants to know whether you paint cabinets or work on commercial buildings should still get a clear answer and a route to your estimator. 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.

Transfer requests for a visit to the person who handles new work. ### Preparation and policies Share your published guidance on moving furniture, access, and weather-dependent exterior work.

List the work you accept and the work you refer elsewhere. Describe how estimates are arranged and who handles them. Test a cabinet question, an exterior question in the off season, and a transfer that nobody answers before using the receptionist on your main number.

It can explain whether you offer color consultations and how they work. Color advice for a particular home belongs with your team. ### Can it tell a customer when the crew will start? It does not read your job schedule.
