ROI and Business Impact (Realistic)

- Response-time impact on conversion
- Average order value or lead value
- Integration scope (CRM/calendar/payments)
Quick estimate:
Monthly benefit = (automated inquiries x minutes saved x cost/minute)
+ (recovered inquiries x conversion rate x avg order value)
- monthly fee
Payback = setup fee / monthly benefitTeams with 30+ inquiries/day often see payback in 2-4 weeks; lower volume usually takes 1-3 months. Actual results depend on conversion, ticket size, and scope.
