A wedding enquiry is one of the largest bookings you will take all year.
Families who book you once come back for every milestone.
It already knows how to take a photography call
You are not writing a script. This is what it asks a photography caller from the first call, and you can change any of it in your portal.
What it takes down
- The caller’s name and the best number to reach them on
- What kind of shoot — wedding, portrait, event, commercial
- The date they have in mind, and whether it is fixed
- Where the shoot would be
- Roughly what they are hoping to spend, if they will say
What it treats as urgent
Anyone calling about a shoot happening in the next 48 hours.
When a caller says one of your emergency words, the AI tells them to hold and rings your cell. If you cannot take it, it comes back and takes the message rather than dropping them.
Everything it does, in one list
All of it is included in every package unless marked optional or add-on.
