Rialto AI, answered

What happens to the Rialto calls nobody answers

San Bernardino County has 499 electrical contractors, and a call that rings out to voicemail is a job one of them can answer. Lithium Marketing puts an AI receptionist on Rialto service business phones so every call gets answered, the urgent ones reach a person and the rest get booked.

San Bernardino County holds 2,224,091 residents, and the search a Rialto trade competes for is a crowded one. The AI receptionist answers from your rules, so a caller who reaches your line gets an answer, not a voicemail greeting.

The Rialto market

Who calls a Rialto trade, and what they ask

Rialto has 27,973 housing units, and the calls that reach a trade here are about the property: how old the roof is, when the last repipe happened, whether the panel can take a new circuit. The receptionist’s knowledge base carries your answers to those questions, in your words, so the caller hears a real answer on the first ring.

Across San Bernardino County, 43.0% of homes went up before 1980, so the age of what is in a Rialto house varies street by street. The receptionist can ask what the caller does know and pass the rest to your team, without guessing at a model or a year.

Trades in San Bernardino County

Repair calls and project calls need different rules

A garage door company and a plumber usually want the call handled now: who is calling, what is broken and whether someone can come today. For those calls, a transfer to the on-call tech can happen while the customer is still on the line.

The project side runs the other way. San Bernardino County has 566 residential remodelers and 324 landscaping companies, and a caller is often comparing bids, so the receptionist gathers the project, the address and the timing and books the estimate.

Set up for you

How the receptionist gets ready for Rialto

No call rule goes live until you have heard it and approved it.

1

List the calls you get

FAQ

What Rialto owners ask about AI phone answering

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].

What happens when a caller asks for a person?

You pick the number, and the receptionist transfers the call there. Emergencies, existing customers and anyone who asks for a human can all be set to ring through, while the other calls still get answered and moved toward a booking.

What does the $179 a month cover?

Answering, qualification, booking, texts and transfers, around the clock, with no contract and no setup fee. Work beyond the phone, like a CRM or review-request automation, gets its own scope and price after a discovery call.

How fast can it answer real calls?

Most setups answer calls within days of the kickoff, once the call rules, service list and calendar access are ready. You test the line yourself first, and we adjust any answer after that.

How does an after-hours emergency get handled?

It gets answered, then routed by your rule. Urgent calls can ring the on-call tech, the next opening can be held for a booking, or the details can go out by text.

What else can be automated after the call?

The follow-up is the usual starting point. A booking lands in the CRM, a paid job can trigger a review request, and a quote can go out without anyone retyping it. Automation is scoped on a free discovery call, and a typical build runs one to two weeks.
