Billing questions. Reschedules. "Where's my tech?" "Is my warranty still good?" Your skilled, expensive CSRs spend most of the day answering the same questions over and over.
You're paying $40K to $60K a head for people to be a FAQ machine. Here's what that costs you, and how to fix it.
Think about what your customer service team actually does all day. Not the complex, judgment-heavy calls where a skilled CSR earns their keep. The other 70%.
"When is my tech arriving?" "Can I move to Thursday?" "Is my warranty still active?" "Do you service my zip code?" "What's my invoice total?" Each one takes three to five minutes, and they come in waves.
Your CSRs answer 150 of these a day and then they're too drained to give real attention to the sales calls, the upset customers, and the complex service inquiries that genuinely need a human.
You're paying $40K to $60K a person to run a FAQ machine. Not because they couldn't do more, but because the volume of routine calls eats every minute they have.
That's not a people problem. It's a systems problem, and it's exactly the kind of problem AI is built to solve.
Most inbound calls aren't complex. They're repeatable lookups that follow the same pattern every time. Here's how the volume breaks down:
