    The story

    1. Before

      About 15 of the 50 to 60 leads a day dropped off because replies took too long.

      After

      Volty qualifies every lead before a designer takes over.

    2. Before

      Replies took up to 9 hours, and only in staffed hours.

      After

      Repeat questions are answered in seconds, day and night.

    3. Before

      Answers depended on what each staffer remembered.

      After

      Volty answers from the shop's own website, catalog and FAQ.

    4. Before

      Changing how replies were written meant waiting on an engineer.

      After

      Staff corrections become lessons the owner approves.

    I can fix the agent myself now, without waiting on an engineer. I just tell it what I didn't like about a reply, and it learns. Sometimes it will automatically suggest improvements and it will ask me to approve it. I think that's pretty cool.
