Retell AI voice agent 'Anna' replaces 7-8 human reps at Boatzon for outbound financing follow-up

The problem

Boatzon struggled with persistently low connection rates when reaching pre-qualified boat financing applicants, an outsourced call center created its own training and turnover bottlenecks, and the underwriting team was constantly split between inbound support and revenue-generating approval work.
