Upfirst AI receptionist eliminates spam calls and restores legitimate client inquiries for Village Hypnotherapy
Jason Akel was flooded with spam calls after picking up local Google Voice numbers, forcing him to disable live answering entirely. In nine months, not a single legitimate client left a message, costing an estimated $10,000 a month in missed business.
Jason's previous approach of managing calls via Google Voice collapsed when spam volume became unmanageable, effectively shutting down his ability to receive legitimate client calls.
Spam calls dropped from 100–200 per month to zero, Jason reclaimed hours each week, and legitimate client inquiries resumed with revenue bouncing back.
