Reception, automation and advice
What Waldorf AI covers first
A Waldorf service business can answer the phone on a Sunday night without hiring anyone. Lithium Marketing sets up an AI receptionist that answers every call, qualifies the caller and books the appointment. It texts the details and transfers the call to a person on your team when your rules say so.
The receptionist is $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee. Custom automation is a separate scope, quoted after a free discovery call, and Lithium also sells AI consulting, so the advice and the build come from one team.
What a missed call already cost
The trade searches behind the phone line
Pest control in Waldorf draws 210 searches a month, and each click costs $30.01. HVAC repair draws 40 searches a month, and a click on it averages $31.70.
If a click ends at voicemail, that price bought a conversation nobody had. The receptionist answers in your words and by the rules you set, and the transcript shows what the caller asked for.

Why the phone rules change by trade
A roofer takes calls about a project, and a pest company takes calls about a problem that will not wait. The receptionist asks the questions you write, and your rules decide which calls it books and which it sends to a person.
Custom automation goes further than the phone when the business needs it: follow-up texts, CRM and calendar connections, document handling and the work of qualifying a lead. Each build is scoped after a discovery call.

The setup
The setup, step by step
Four steps that end with a receptionist answering in your words.
Write the call rules
We write the services, hours and area, then the questions a caller hears and the order they hear them in.
Load the knowledge base
The prices you are willing to quote, the work you take and the answers callers ask for most go into one knowledge base.
Connect the calendar and the transfer
Appointments go to the calendar you connect, and a caller who needs a person goes to the number you name.
Test it before it goes live
Call the line yourself, try the questions a real customer asks, and fix any answer that trips it up before it takes live calls.
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
AI on real service business phones
A plumbing phone project and the Smart Doors site
After-hours emergency calls at a plumbing company were reaching voicemail, so Lithium built a custom phone system that sorts the urgent calls, texts the on-call tech and books the rest; the card has the numbers. Lithium’s AI receptionist answers the phones at Smart Doors LLC, a garage door company, and the site Lithium built for it appears beside the card.

FAQ
Waldorf AI receptionist questions
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Can a caller still reach a person?
Yes. The receptionist can transfer a call to a person on your team, and the rules you approve decide when it does. The transfer is part of the setup, not an extra project.
Is custom automation included in the receptionist price?
Custom automation is a separate scope. The receptionist is $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee, and automation is quoted after a discovery call.
How soon can the receptionist take calls?
A standard setup goes live in days. The knowledge base, the call rules and the calendar connection are the work, and a custom integration adds its own timeline.
What happens to an urgent call?
The rules you approve decide. The receptionist can take the details and transfer the call to the person you name. The plumbing project in the case card goes further, texting the on-call tech and booking the routine jobs.
What else can Lithium automate?
Follow-up texts, review requests, CRM and calendar connections, document processing and lead qualification are all in scope for a custom build. Each one is quoted after a discovery call, and AI consulting can come first if you want the plan before the build.
