Their phone intake was: -an AI named Jeff taking all my information (name, zip code, problem, email address, address) for the sales team -an human on the sales team asking all the same questions (name, zip code, problem), who asked if I would like to be sent to the onboarding team for a quote. I said yes, then... -was sent to the same AI named Jeff. I hung up and will take my business elsewhete.

Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago

Thank you for sharing your experience, Christopher. We apologize for the frustration you encountered during the intake process and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our services.
