Revenue stops leaking

If an optometry office is missing 50%+ of inbound calls, it’s leaving huge money on the table. Here’s how Voice AI changes the game:

The Problem: Missing 50% of Calls

  • Patients calling to book appointments, refill prescriptions, or ask about glasses aren’t getting through.

  • Missed calls = missed revenue, plus frustrated patients who may go to a competitor.

  • Staff is overwhelmed, juggling in-person patients and phones.

How Voice AI Helps

1. Always Answers, 24/7

  • Every call is picked up immediately — no more busy signals or voicemail black holes.

  • Patients feel cared for because someone always responds.

2. Handles Multiple Calls Simultaneously

  • Unlike a human receptionist who can only manage one caller at a time, Voice AI can answer 10, 50, or 100 calls at once.

  • Peak times (lunch hour, back-to-school season) no longer cause bottlenecks.

3. Books Appointments Automatically

  • Direct Calendar integration → schedules patients in real time.

  • Example: “Yes, Dr. Lee has an opening Tuesday at 4pm. Shall I confirm that for you?”

  • Converts callers into booked visits instantly.

4. Recaptures Missed Revenue

  • A typical optometry appointment is worth $300–$500 in exam + eyewear.

  • If the office misses 500 calls/year, that could mean $150,000–$250,000 in lost revenue.

  • Voice AI flips those lost calls into confirmed patients.

5. Frees Up Staff for Higher-Value Tasks

  • Human staff can focus on in-office care (patients at the desk, frame styling, insurance issues).

  • AI handles repetitive calls (hours, insurance accepted, appointment booking).

ROI Example

  • Clinic annual revenue = $700K.

  • Missed calls = 50% → ~$200K–$300K revenue leakage.

  • Voice AI: captures even half of that → $100K–$150K lift, easily covering cost of system.
