Ace Medical Company filters irrelevant calls and serves buyers 24/7 with Upfirst AI receptionist

Ace Medical's main phone line mixed genuine customer inquiries with a high volume of irrelevant calls from prank callers, solicitors, and service vendors. Their previous answering service could only take messages and handed off any detailed question to staff, causing constant interruptions and risking missed opportunities with real buyers.

Outcome

Upfirst filters out solicitors and irrelevant callers, answers detailed product questions autonomously, and transitions qualified buyers to the quoting process—delivering professional 24/7 coverage at a fraction of the cost of the previous service.

What failed first

Their previous answering service was limited to basic coverage; any detailed customer question triggered a hand-off to a staff member, causing constant interruptions and lost sales opportunities.
