A call in your business Illustrative conversation · responses depend on your setup **Caller** “Do you photograph engagement sessions outdoors?” **Rinzo AI Receptionist** “I can explain our engagement packages and connect you with the studio to talk about locations and dates.” Next step **Studio manager** Why the first answer matters ## The phone rings in the middle of a shoot. You cannot step away from a client session to explain your packages. A clear first answer about the work you do, your coverage area, and your booking process keeps a prospective client interested until you can talk. 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. ### Packages and specialties Explain the types of photography you offer and what your published packages include. Questions about custom coverage go to the person who prepares proposals. ### Booking a date Describe how a booking works, such as a consultation followed by a deposit and contract. Your team confirms availability for a particular date. ### Existing clients Route questions about galleries, prints, or delivery times to the studio contact. Staff check the project and answer for that client. Your information. Your way of working. ## Give it the details your callers need. Write a short description of each package, including what is extra. Set a studio destination and a mailbox for times you are shooting. Test a request for a date and confirm it reaches a person rather than a promise. Upload PDF, Word, text, or Markdown documents, review their extracted text, and publish your updates when ready. ### Start with these details - Photography specialties and packages - Travel and coverage area - Booking and deposit process - Studio contacts and office hours Keep a route to a person or voicemail for questions that need more help.
