Human Like Conversations via Voice/SMS
The AI Sales Assistant is not a chatbot retrofitted for financial services it is an enterprise-grade, agentic AI system, capable of scalable intelligent human-like conversations across voice and SMS.
“With over 1.5 million mortgage-specific human-like voice calls successfully completed, the technology has far exceeded everyone’s expectations on the impact AI can have,” said Joe Welu, Chief Executive Officer at Total Expert.
“We believe AI should supercharge people like loan officers who are considered trusted advisors, by keeping the human in the loop in the key moments of the customer journey like when a borrower is ready to start talking about specific loan options. Many of the other lower-value sales tasks, like following up with cold leads, can and should be handled by an AI sales assistant allowing them to reach levels of productivity they never considered possible.”
Unlike most technology vendors that are racing to splash AI onto everything without clear ROI, Total Expert has taken a more deliberate and thoughtful approach to AI by focusing on going deep into important workflows across the customer journey and indexing on the most important business outcomes.
