FAQ

Common questions about No-Show Recovery Voice Agent for your service business

How It Works

How does the voice agent sound?

Our TivAI-powered agent uses natural voice synthesis designed specifically for appointment reschedule calls. The voice is warm and professional, trained to handle objections and edge cases without sounding robotic. You customize the tone and messaging during setup to match your brand voice.

Can customers tell they're talking to an AI?

The voice is nearly indistinguishable from a real person. However, transparency matters. Customers actually respond better when they know it's an automated call upfront. We recommend leading with honesty: "Hi, this is an automated call from [business name] to help you reschedule." Higher reschedule rates follow when expectations are clear.

What happens if the customer gets angry or refuses?

The agent gracefully handles rejection. It acknowledges feedback, respects objections like "Not now" or "I'm not interested," and can immediately transfer to your team if tension rises. You control the escalation threshold. Most rejected calls log useful data for your team to follow up on later.

What if the conversation gets complicated?

The agent handles straightforward reschedule flows well. If a customer asks detailed questions about your service, pricing, or has special scheduling needs, the agent recognizes complexity and transfers to your team. Context (why they no-showed, preferred times) transfers with them.

Integration & Setup

How does it connect to Sales Connector?

No-Show Recovery sits directly in your Sales Connector dashboard. When a contact misses an appointment, our system detects it and triggers a recovery call based on rules you set: immediately, after 30 min, same day, next morning, etc. You stay in control of timing and targeting.

Can I test it before going live?

Yes. We provide a sandbox environment and sample call recordings showing the agent handling different scenarios: accepted rescheduling, handling objections, escalating to a human. You'll hear exactly how it sounds with your messaging before launch.

How quickly does it go live?

Setup takes 3-5 business days. You customize the opening message, select reschedule time slots, and configure which contacts qualify. We test and launch in your first week. You can toggle recovery calls on/off anytime from your dashboard.

Compliance & Privacy

Is this TCPA compliant?

Yes. We follow all TCPA and FCC rules for outbound calling. The agent respects do-not-call lists, records consent, and maintains audit trails. Calling windows, frequency caps, and opt-out handling are all built in and logged for your compliance team.

How is customer data protected?

Phone numbers and personal data are encrypted in transit and at rest. Call recordings are kept for 90 days only unless you request longer retention for training. No data is shared with third parties. Everything stays within your Sales Connector account.

Can customers opt out?

Yes. Customers can opt out by saying 'stop' during the call, and that preference is respected immediately going forward. You can also manually disable recovery calls for specific contacts. Full opt-out logs are available for compliance review.

Performance & ROI

What's the typical reschedule rate?

Service businesses see 35-55% reschedule rates. The number depends on timing (calls within 5 minutes beat same-day), your industry, and your messaging. Salons and fitness studios typically see the highest rates. We track your metrics and recommend optimizations based on patterns from similar businesses.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is available on our Pricing page. Most customers see ROI after recovering 2-3 appointments per month. No long-term contracts, month-to-month flexibility.

How quickly will we see results?

First recovered appointments arrive within days of launch. Track your reschedule rate and revenue impact over 30 days to establish a baseline. Early data will guide timing and messaging tweaks for your specific audience.

Customization & Support

Can we customize the agent's message?

Fully. You write the opening (e.g., "Hi Sarah, this is an automated call from Harmony Studio about your missed appointment Friday. I'd love to get you back on the schedule."), reschedule options, and fallback responses. Our team crafts and tests the flow with you before go-live.

What if we need to pause or stop?

Toggle recovery calls on/off anytime from your dashboard. No penalty, no contract. You can run it for one month, pause it, restart it whenever you want.

What support do you provide?

You get dedicated onboarding, training on timing optimization, ongoing email support, and Slack access to our team. We monitor your success metrics and proactively recommend improvements based on data from your cohort of similar businesses.
