Model the revenue potential behind answering more calls.

Choose your industry to load a conservative, editable example and see where the reliable inputs should come from. Then replace it with real numbers from your phone log, booking system, CRM, and sales records.

Your business inputs

Industry selection now changes the example values and recalculates the model. Every value remains editable.

Use these verified sources for this industry

Medical: phone-system missed-call reports, completed appointment data from your scheduler, and collected revenue per new patient from billing records.

Conservative editable example

A healthcare starting scenario built from published call-handling guardrails. Dollar value, raw call volume, and recovery remain editable planning assumptions.

Use collected revenue over one consistent period—first sale or 12 months
Use unanswered, abandoned, after-hours, and overflow calls
The share of qualified callers who typically become customers
A scenario assumption — not every answered call becomes revenue
The workload model auto-selects a starting plan. Choose another plan to recalculate the same revenue scenario with that monthly fee.
Important: Industry selection loads a conservative, editable planning example—not a forecast or a claim about your business. Published research is used only as a guardrail; replace every field with verified internal data before making a decision.

Evidence and methodology

Transparent enough to audit in under a minute.

The model does not pretend to know your business. It shows exactly which internal numbers to use, how they are combined, and what the estimate leaves out.

Use data you can verify

The strongest scenario comes from your own systems, not a broad industry headline.

1
Phone logCount unanswered, abandoned, after-hours, and overflow calls for a typical month.
2
CRM or booking historyCalculate how many qualified phone leads become booked or paying customers.
3
Sales recordsChoose average first-sale value or customer lifetime value and use it consistently.
4
Recovery scenarioStress-test a conservative range because answering a call does not guarantee a sale.
Modeled customers at riskMissed calls × close rate
Monthly revenue at riskCustomers at risk × average customer value
Potentially recoverable revenueRevenue at risk × recovery assumption
12-month modeled customer-value opportunity(Monthly recoverable customer value − monthly plan fee) × 12
This is a planning model, not a forecast, quote, promise, cash-flow model, profit calculation, or guarantee. It does not account for gross margin, revenue timing, normal operating costs, one-time implementation, duplicate or spam calls, cancellations, refunds, capacity limits, seasonality, taxes, or differences in lead quality. The live clock simply spreads the monthly revenue-at-risk estimate evenly across 30 days.
Managed AI reception plans

Clear monthly capacity. Clear overages. No mystery bundle.

Every plan combines a configured AI receptionist with ongoing management. Choose capacity based on connected call time and carrier-billed SMS segments.

Not sure which plan fits? Size it from real call usage.

Choose a business type to load an editable workload example, or enter a typical month from your own records. The advisor checks minute and SMS capacity plus the minimum workflow needed for booking, routing, or intake; it does not estimate revenue.

Live capacity check
Editable workload example

Medical example: 160 inbound calls, 3.5-minute average, 70% AI coverage, 240 SMS segments, and 15% peak buffer. These are sizing assumptions, not an industry average.

Recommended starting plan AI Reception Plus
Estimated minutes with buffer451 / 500
Estimated SMS with buffer288 / 500

Plus provides room for a typical month and the selected peak buffer. Confirm with 30–60 days of actual usage.

Medical and dental workflows require a separate HIPAA, consent, data-handling, and call-routing review. Standard plans are not automatically HIPAA-ready.

One-time managed implementation From $499

Built, tested, and approved before go-live.

Implementation covers workflow discovery, approved business knowledge, phone and routing configuration, standard calendar or CRM connections, test calls, and a guided launch review. Complex integrations, multiple locations, outbound campaigns, payment capture, or regulated requirements are scoped separately.

01 · Scope 02 · Configure 03 · Test calls 04 · Client approval 05 · Go-live
Plan terms: The capacities above are Nishstudios managed-service allowances. Standard overage is $0.25 per additional AI receptionist minute and $0.06 per additional SMS segment. One-time implementation starts at $499. Connected calls are rounded according to carrier billing. Long texts and emojis can use multiple segments. Standard U.S./Canada use only. Carrier registration, regulatory requirements, international traffic, healthcare/HIPAA, multi-location deployments, outbound campaigns, payment capture, and custom integrations require scope review and may cost more.
A defined operating role

Built to handle the first response — with clear human handoff.

The receptionist works inside an approved scope: answer, identify intent, collect details, book or route, document the call, and escalate when a person is needed.

Answers within a controlled knowledge base

Business information, approved FAQs, hours, services, and policies are configured and tested before launch.

Books, transfers, or captures a callback

Routing rules define when to schedule, when to transfer, and when to collect details for human follow-up.

Creates a usable post-call record

Contact details, intent, summary, outcome, and next step can be stored and sent to the right team member.

Questions before launch

What the calculator and plans do — and do not — promise.

Where do the calculator numbers come from?

Industry selection loads a conservative planning example. Published call-handling research sets broad guardrails, while customer value, raw call volume, AI coverage, SMS volume, peak buffer, and recovery remain editable assumptions. For a decision-quality model, replace them with your own call log, CRM or booking history, and sales data.

Is the revenue result guaranteed?

No. It is an educational planning estimate. Answering more calls can create more opportunities, but actual bookings and revenue depend on lead quality, demand, pricing, staff capacity, follow-up, and many other factors.

What counts as a minute or an SMS?

Call usage is based on connected time and may be rounded to full minutes under carrier billing. SMS is billed by segment, not simply by the number of messages. Long messages, special characters, or emojis can create multiple segments.

What happens if usage exceeds the plan?

Standard overage is $0.25 per additional AI receptionist minute and $0.06 per additional SMS segment. We review usage and can recommend a higher-capacity plan when repeated overages make an upgrade more economical.

Can I keep my current business number?

Usually, yes. Calls can often be forwarded to the AI receptionist, or number-porting options can be reviewed. The final setup depends on your carrier, current phone system, transfer rules, and desired call flow.

Does it replace a human employee?

It is designed to handle a defined first-response role, not every situation. Complex, sensitive, regulated, billing, technical, or judgment-heavy calls should be transferred or documented for a qualified person.

Are setup and compliance costs included?

One-time implementation starts at $499. Any carrier registration, special compliance, regulated-industry, international, multi-location, outbound, payment, or custom integration cost is disclosed and approved before launch.

Can healthcare or other regulated businesses use it?

Only after a separate requirements and compliance review. Standard plans do not automatically include HIPAA or other regulated-industry requirements, legal review, special data handling, or consent configuration.

Can I test the receptionist before it answers customer calls?

Yes. Every paid implementation includes guided test calls and a launch review inside the approved scope before the receptionist goes live. This is a managed acceptance process, not a public free trial. Implementation work, usage, and third-party costs remain subject to the approved scope and Nishstudios Refund Policy.

Launch with a tested call flow — not an unproven public demo.

After scope approval, we configure the receptionist around your approved business information and real call scenarios. Guided test calls and your launch review happen before it answers customer calls.
