Marketing agencies are uniquely positioned to resell AI receptionists: You already serve local businesses, understand lead generation, and have clients who miss calls from the campaigns you run. Adding AI receptionist as a service completes the lead-to-customer journey, increases your value per client, and adds $150-300/month per client in pure margin—with zero extra delivery work.
You already have businesses who trust you and need this service
You understand the value of capturing every lead you generate
Selling is what you do—you know how to pitch local businesses
You can show clients exactly how AI improves their lead capture
Here's the frustrating reality: you run great campaigns. Google Ads, Facebook, SEO—leads are coming in. But when those leads call your clients, what happens?
34%
of calls go unanswered
during business hours
67%
of after-hours calls
are never returned
85%
of callers won't
leave a voicemail
The hard truth: Your clients blame their marketing when leads don't convert. But often the problem isn't your campaigns—it's their inability to answer the phone. AI receptionist fixes this blind spot and makes your marketing look even better.
Think of AI receptionist as the conversion layer that completes your marketing funnel. Every service you offer becomes more effective when paired with 24/7 call capture.
❌ Expensive clicks wasted when calls go unanswered
✓ AI answers every call from your ads. Lower cost-per-acquisition, higher ROAS to report.
❌ Organic rankings drive calls, but only during business hours
✓ AI captures after-hours searches. Weekend warriors finally convert.
❌ Posts go viral at 9pm. Nobody answers at 9pm.
✓ AI is always on. Captures impulse callers whenever they see your content.
❌ Beautiful site, but click-to-call goes to voicemail
✓ Every call from the site gets answered. Appointments booked automatically.
Most marketing agencies have 15-50 active clients. Here's what adding AI receptionist looks like as an upsell:
That's $19,104/year in new profit from your existing client base. No new client acquisition. No extra delivery hours. The AI runs itself 24/7.
Small Agency (15 clients)
~4-5 clients adopt
$596-795/mo
Mid Agency (30 clients)
~9-12 clients adopt
$1,592-2,189/mo
Large Agency (50 clients)
~15-20 clients adopt
$2,786-3,781/mo
Marketing agencies typically serve local service businesses—exactly the clients who benefit most from AI receptionist. Here's how to position it for each vertical:
"Your emergency calls at 2am are going to voicemail. AI answers and dispatches."
"Patients calling for appointments reach voicemail 40% of the time. AI books them."
"A potential client calling at 8pm isn't leaving a voicemail. They're calling your competitor."
"Buyers calling on a listing won't wait. AI qualifies and schedules showings instantly."
"Customer calling about a flat tire needs help now. AI captures every roadside call."
"You miss calls when you're on a job site. AI books the next job while you work."

For Your Monthly Client Calls
"[Name], I wanted to show you something we're rolling out that I think could really amplify the results we're getting you.
Looking at your campaigns, we're driving [X] calls per month. But here's what I've noticed—about [30%] of those are going to voicemail, especially after 5pm and on weekends.
That's leads we're paying for that aren't converting.
We now offer an AI receptionist that answers every single call, 24/7. It sounds natural, can answer questions about your services, captures their info, and can even book appointments on your calendar.
The result? Every lead we generate actually gets a shot at converting.
It's $199/month on top of what you're paying now. Want me to set up a demo number so you can call and test it yourself?"
You get a dashboard showing every call: when it came in, what the AI said, caller info captured, and outcomes. Run a comparison—show them the "before" (missed calls, voicemails) vs "after" (captured leads, booked appointments). It's concrete, measurable proof.
You customize the AI's knowledge base for each client. It learns their services, pricing, hours, and FAQs. You control exactly what it knows and says. Test calls before going live ensure quality.
Minimal support. The platform handles the AI and technical infrastructure. Most client questions are simple ("how do I listen to a call recording?") and the dashboard is intuitive. Plan for maybe 30 minutes/month per client.
Yes—that's the point. Your brand is on everything: the dashboard clients log into, the emails they receive, the invoices. They see "[Your Agency] AI Receptionist," not VoiceAI Connect.
Great angle: AI is 80% cheaper than human answering services and available 24/7 with no wait times. Position it as an upgrade, not a replacement. Many clients use both—AI for routine calls, humans for complex situations.
