By now, you’ve called your Assistant, set its role, and given it a name—but what exactly do you want it to do?

Let’s look at a real-world example to get inspired:

Use Case: A Hockey Academy Receptionist

One SalesOptAI client—a busy hockey academy—uses their Assistant as a full-time **receptionist**. Here’s what their Assistant can do:

• Greets callers with a warm, friendly persona
• Answers questions about services, pricing, and scheduling
• Sends booking links via SMS directly to the caller
• Collects contact info for follow-up by a team member
• Adds new leads into the CRM automatically
• Sends **urgent alerts** to staff if someone is locked out, wants to book today, or needs immediate help

The result? Fewer missed calls, faster service, and a better customer experience—all without increasing headcount.

Tips & Tricks: 

• Start with your team’s most repetitive tasks.** What are the things your staff handle over and over—like answering FAQs, collecting info, or confirming appointments?
• Look at missed opportunities.** Have you ever missed a call that could’ve turned into a sale? Your Assistant can capture that lead, respond instantly, and alert the right team member.
• Imagine your Assistant as an extension of your team.** The more clearly you define its responsibilities, the more value it can deliver—without burning out your staff.
