The phone line first
The phone line a New Rochelle trade business needs
An AI receptionist answers the New Rochelle call that would otherwise ring out, qualifies the caller and books the job or transfers the call to a real person by your rules. Lithium Marketing runs that receptionist for New Rochelle service businesses. About 210 searches a month name “plumber new rochelle”, and the customer behind each one may dial the first number that answers.
Custom AI automation is a separate project, scoped after a free discovery call, and AI consulting sits alongside it for owners who want help choosing what to automate. The receptionist itself is $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee.
Calls in New Rochelle
Calls that start with a search
Volume is not the same as value. “Garage door repair new rochelle” draws 20 searches a month, and a door stuck open at night cannot wait for a callback. The receptionist answers those calls with your urgency questions and books the next opening, or transfers the call to the on-call phone.
A customer who taps a number in the map is ready to talk, and the map came first when we checked “plumber new rochelle”. No AI Overview appeared on that page when we checked, which leaves the map and the results below it as the place a caller finds the number. The receptionist has your services, hours and service area loaded to answer that call.

Who is calling
Callers, owners and the buildings they live in
New Rochelle has 31,684 occupied homes, and the person who calls is not always the person who owns the property. You can have the receptionist ask who owns it before it books, and send a tenant's request to whoever your rules name.
The city's 85,864 residents live in a mix that includes brownstones, townhomes and red-brick apartment buildings in the southwestern quarter, where a single building can hold several units. The knowledge base can carry that distinction, so the receptionist asks about the building before it books.

Trades in Westchester County
Different trades, different questions on the phone
A two-story rewire and a burst pipe both arrive as a phone call, and they need opposite handling. For Westchester County's 202 new home builders and 97 excavation and site preparation contractors, the call can end with an estimate on your calendar: the receptionist asks what the job is, where it is and when it suits.
The emergency trades are the ones where a missed call is a lost job. 53 roofing contractors, 35 glass and glazing contractors and 46 pest control companies work in Westchester County, and a leak, a broken pane or a nest by the door cannot wait for a callback. Urgent calls ring the on-call phone; the rest get booked.

Live in days
How a New Rochelle phone line goes live
You sign off on the rules before a customer hears the line.
Sort the calls into urgent and routine
The first video call takes apart a normal week: the jobs that need a person within the hour, like a flooded basement or no heat, and the ones that can sit until a slot opens.
Load your answers and your area
Services, hours, the New Rochelle neighborhoods you cover and the questions customers repeat all go in, written the way your team talks.
Hook up the calendar and the transfers
A booked job goes into your calendar or CRM, and an urgent call rings whichever phone is on call that week.
Keep the answers current
Call recording and transcripts are part of the setup, and when your services or hours change, the knowledge base and rules get updated to match.
What the AI receptionist does on every call
The same eight parts go into every AI receptionist setup, wherever the business is.
- Answers every call, 24/7
- Qualifies the lead
- Books the appointment
- Answers common questions
- Sends follow-up texts
- Captures every detail
- Transfers to a real person when needed
- Connects to your CRM and calendar
Proof
A garage door website and a plumbing phone system
The AI receptionist on Smart Doors LLC's phones came after Lithium built the garage door company's website. A second case, a plumbing company, runs a custom AI phone system that sorts after-hours calls, texts the on-call tech with the emergencies and books the rest.

FAQ
What to settle before AI picks up your calls
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
When does a call go to a person?
When your rules say so. They name the calls that get a person: an emergency, an existing customer, or anyone who asks. The receptionist transfers those to the number you pick and handles the rest itself, with a text if the customer would rather not stay on the line.
How long before the line answers customers?
A few days, once the inputs are ready. The voice, the answers and the connections get built from your call rules, service list and calendar access, and the line can be tested before it goes live.
What does custom automation cover, and what does it cost?
Custom automation is a separate project from the receptionist, scoped after a free discovery call, and custom builds typically take one to two weeks. Common jobs include moving leads into a CRM, sending review requests after a job, processing documents and connecting a calendar to a spreadsheet. AI consulting is there when you want help choosing what to automate first.
How does $179 compare with a human receptionist?
A human receptionist runs $3,500 or more a month. The AI receptionist is $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee, and it answers at 2 a.m. and on Sunday.
Will it work with the calendar and CRM we already use?
We check that before promising anything. If your calendar or CRM has an API or a supported integration, bookings and call records can land there; if it does not, we scope the handoff another way or keep the details in a text and an email until your team picks them up.
Free action plan
Hear the receptionist, then map your New Rochelle call rules
Call the demo number in the contact section and ask it something your own customers ask. Then send a rough count of the calls you miss in a week, and a co-founder will draft your urgent-call rules with you on a short video call.
