FAQ
Automotive: common questions.
Will an AI receptionist replace car sales staff?
No. It answers calls when your team is busy, captures enquiries and books test drives or service appointments, then hands everything to your people. Selling and negotiating stay with your sales team.
How quickly can an AI call back a new car enquiry?
FirstVoice's speed-to-lead add-on calls new leads from Facebook, Google Ads and website forms back in seconds, during the calling hours you set. Outside those hours it texts the lead straight away and calls when your window opens.
