Black Tie Casino Events uses Upfirst AI receptionist for 24/7 call answering and lead qualification
Black Tie Casino Events' part-time team, including a salesperson who holds a day job, frequently missed inbound sales calls. Competitors who answered first won the business. Previous answering services felt generic and failed to match the company's professional standards, and there was no efficient way to filter unqualified leads.
