Is Your Business Losing
Leads While You Sleep?

Every missed call after 5pm is a potential client who booked with your competitor instead.

01

Calls Going to Voicemail

After hours, on weekends, during meetings - potential clients call and hear a voicemail. Most do not leave a message. They move on.

02

Your Receptionist Can Only Do So Much

One person handles one call at a time. During peak hours or staff turnover - inquiries fall through the cracks.

03

Leads Going Cold Overnight

Someone found you at 10pm, ready to book. By morning their motivation faded and they found someone who responded immediately.

04

Staff Buried in Repetitive Tasks

Answering the same questions all day - hours, services, pricing. Your team is too valuable for tasks a system can handle.

05

No After-Hours Coverage

Contact forms sit unanswered until morning. Website visitors leave with no response. There is no system capturing those leads.

06

Scaling Without Adding Headcount

Growing means more calls and more pressure on your team - but hiring is expensive, slow, and unpredictable.

This Is Megan.
She Never Clocks Out.

Megan is a fully trained AI receptionist built specifically for your business. She greets callers, answers questions, captures lead information, and helps book appointments - all in a warm, professional, completely natural conversation.

  • Answers calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Captures name, phone, and appointment intent on every call
  • Works during business hours when your team is with clients
  • Keeps working after hours when no one is there to answer
  • Trained on your specific services and business information
  • Delivers organized lead reports to your inbox every morning

Who Is Megan Built For?

If your business receives inbound calls, Megan was built for you. Here is how she shows up for your industry.

Law Firms

Never miss a new client inquiry after hours or between court appearances. Every potential case captured and logged before your competitors answer.

🏠

Real Estate Agents and Brokerages

Capture every lead while you are showing a home to another client. No more choosing between the client in front of you and the one calling in.

Medical and Wellness Practices

Answer patient inquiries around the clock without adding staff. New patient calls handled professionally every time, day or night.

📄

Insurance Agencies

Respond to quote requests immediately before they find another agent. Speed to response wins in insurance - Megan never makes them wait.

Churches and Ministries

Welcome every caller with warmth, capture prayer requests, and never miss a first-time visitor reaching out to connect with your congregation.

🔧

Service Businesses

Cleaning companies, lawn care, daycares, salons, contractors - if your phone is your front door, Megan makes sure it is always answered.

Chauntelle Ricks - Certified AI Consultant

Built by a Consultant
Who Sees What You Are Missing

I became an AI Consultant because I kept walking into businesses and seeing the same problem - real opportunity slipping through the cracks after hours, between calls, and during the moments when no one was available to respond.

As a Certified AI Consultant based in Houston, Texas, I specialize in building AI Virtual Receptionists and automation systems that work for your business around the clock - so you can focus on the work only you can do.

Edge Effect AI is built on one belief: every business deserves to run at full power, not just during office hours.
