Voice AI receptionist for kids' activity clubs
Prepared for Norfort Gymnastics
The opportunity

The calls you miss are enrollments you lose.

A gym's phone rings most when the front desk is closed. Parents call in the evenings, on weekends, between classes. When no one answers, the majority don't try again, they call the next club on the list. A voice AI receptionist answers every one of those calls, in your club's voice, and turns them into registrations instead of missed chances.

Norfort's front desk is staffed about 14 hours a week (Mon–Thu, 11:00–2:30). The other 154 hours, every call rides on voicemail. That's a steady leak of new families, right through registration season.

What we build

Inbound AI receptionist

Core product

Your always-on front desk. This is the system the attached proposal covers.

  • Answers instantly, 24/7. Off-hours it picks up on the first ring; during office hours it waits a few rings so staff answer first, then catches the overflow.
  • Knows your club cold. Programs, ages, class lengths, schedule, tuition, registration, parties, camps, closures and policies, answered from your confirmed info and never guessed.
  • Texts the right link mid-call. Registration and schedule links go out by text while the parent is still on the phone, so a ready family can sign up on the spot.
  • Transfers or takes a message. Routes to the office when a caller needs a person, takes a clean message emailed to you when they don't.
  • Full transparency. Every call logged, transcribed and recorded in your portal, with a monthly performance report.
The gain: no call lost to voicemail, no repeat questions eating front-desk time, and new families reach a helpful voice at 9pm on a Sunday instead of a beep.

Speed-to-Lead

Business Elite plan

Beat every competitor to the callback. Comes with our Business Elite plan, the step up from the receptionist.

  • The moment a new lead comes in (a web form, an inquiry), it responds within seconds, while they're still looking at your site. A call is the main move, backed up by text and email so you reach them whichever way they'll answer.
  • Speed is the biggest lever on whether a lead converts. Respond within five minutes and you're up to 100× more likely to reach a new family, and 21× more likely to qualify them, than at 30 minutes (MIT / InsideSales lead-response study). The agent answers in seconds.
The gain: turn brand-new interest into a booked trial before it cools or wanders to another club.

Database Reactivation

Add-on

Fill classes with families you already have. An add-on you can run any season, on its own or alongside the receptionist.

  • A seasonal outbound campaign that calls your lapsed families a few weeks before registration opens, reminds them, answers questions and texts them the sign-up link.
  • Your dormant list is the cheapest enrollment source you own. This works it for you, at a cost of pennies per contact instead of ad spend.
Real result: in one seasonal run for a gymnastics club, the agent reached ~900 lapsed families in a single campaign and surfaced 40+ families signalling they'd register, from a list that was otherwise sitting idle.
The gain: a wave of re-registrations from families who already know and trust you, timed to fill the new season.
What it's worth for Norfort
~$4,800
a month to match this coverage with staff (about 50 hrs/week of evenings & weekends at ~$22/hr)
~88%
saving versus that, on the receptionist at $550/mo
24/7
hours your agent answers, against 14 staffed office hours today

The receptionist costs a fraction of the staff time it would take to match its coverage. Every call it rescues from voicemail is upside on top.
