The Hidden Problem: You’re Not Asking Enough

Research shows that 70% of customers will leave a review if asked directly, but fewer than 20% of businesses ask consistently.

Why?

  • Staff forget

  • Processes break

  • Timing is wrong

  • Conversations get skipped

  • Customers move on

AI solves this at scale—with perfect timing and consistency.

How AI Turns Happy Customers Into 5-Star Reviewers Automatically

Teli.ai’s AI voice agents and SMS workflows make it incredibly easy to build a strong online reputation.

1. 14-Day and 30-Day Follow-Up Calls

AI checks in with customers after their purchase, service, or appointment.

A typical call sounds like this:

“Hi Sarah! Just checking in to make sure everything is going great. How is your experience so far?”

This does three things instantly:

  • Builds trust

  • Shows professionalism

  • Makes your business memorable

If the customer is happy, the AI directs them to leave a review.
If they’re unhappy, it routes the issue back to your team before it escalates.

2. Personalized SMS Review Requests

Text messages have a 97% open rate.
AI sends review links at the perfect moment—usually right after a positive interaction.

Messages feel friendly and natural:

“Glad to hear everything went well! When you have a second, would you mind leaving us a quick review? It helps us out a ton.”

3. No Staff Needed

Your team never has to remember who to follow up with—or when.
AI handles it all.

Why AI Follow-Up Works So Well

1. The Timing Is Perfect

AI follows the customer journey automatically:

  • Day 14: “Everything going well?”

  • Day 30: “Anything we can improve?”

  • Review request after positive feedback

Customers feel valued—not pressured.

2. The Tone Is Human

Teli.ai’s voice agents sound like real people:
warm, clear, and easy to engage with.

3. It Helps You Catch Problems Early

Negative experiences often go public because no one followed up.

AI prevents this.

4. Review Velocity Boosts SEO

More frequent reviews improve:

  • Local rankings

  • Google Maps visibility

  • Website trust

  • Click-through rate

Your business becomes the obvious choice.
