Step 1
The Challenge
Apex Climate's 3-person phone team was overwhelmed during summer and winter peaks. Hold times exceeded 8 minutes and 35% of callers hung up.
They considered hiring seasonal staff but training costs and turnover made it impractical.
Step 2
Our Solution
We deployed AI as an overflow system that activates when all human agents are busy. The AI handles the same functions as human agents — booking, questions, and qualification. Callers experience zero hold time and seamless handoffs when agents become available.
