Goosehead Insurance
AI virtual assistant for pre-qualifying clients and rescheduling missed calls
Goosehead Insurance raised its appointment booking rate from about 60% to more than 80% with a Vonage AI virtual assistant
Problem
Fewer than half of the clients who had pre-booked a call with a Goosehead agent answered it. Agents lost time chasing missed calls, and many clients never reached a quote.
Approach
Goosehead used Vonage's AI Virtual Assistant. It pre-qualifies clients and offers callers who cancel a more convenient time. It sends reschedule links, or connects the client straight to an agent when they are ready. The system launched in 2024.
Results
Takeaway
An assistant that catches missed or cancelled calls and offers a new slot at once can recover bookings that agents would otherwise chase by hand.
