How to stop missing business calls, without hiring anyone

Why calls get missed

• You're working. Your hands are busy with the job that pays.
• You're closed. People call when they have a minute, which is often evenings and weekends.
• One phone, many jobs. Quotes, bookings, payments and your personal life share one screen.

Voicemail catches some of it, but a voicemail is a message you still have to return, and many callers simply try the next business.

Option 1: ring your phone first, then let AI answer

In RaimCalls, Hours & call routing can ring your phone first. You hear who's calling and press 1 to take it. If you don't, Eve or Adam answers instead, so the caller is never left with a voicemail beep. Choose Ring me when open and after hours your AI answers without ringing you at all.

Option 2: let Eve and Adam answer every call

Eve and Adam answer your business line around the clock. They speak only from your services, prices, hours and FAQs, book callers into your real open times, and take a message with the caller's name, number, what it's about and how urgent it is. Urgent messages notify you at once.

Option 3: let the right people through

Add family, key clients or partners as VIP callers. They skip the spam screen and ring your phone first, at any hour. Add a department menu if callers need Sales, Service or a person.

Set it up in RaimCalls

1. Choose a plan with a business line

   Foundation and higher plans include a US business number. Personal has no business number.

2. Tell your AI about your business

   Follow Set up your business: your services and prices, hours and a few FAQs. The checklist shows what's missing.

3. Keep your number, or use the new one

   Forward the number customers already know to your RaimCalls number with your carrier's code; the app shows the steps for your phone company, then a test call proves it works.

4. Pick how calls ring

   Under Hours & call routing, choose who answers first, and add holidays.

5. Hear it for yourself

   Use Hear Eve answer to place a short test call to your own phone.
