If you’re currently paying for an outsourced call answering or live chat service, you’re not alone. For many small businesses, itβs the default way to ensure no call or message gets missed β but it comes at a cost.
A high cost, in fact.
From monthly fees to patchy coverage, outsourced services can feel more like a sticking plaster than a scalable solution. But thereβs a better, more intelligent, and far more cost-effective way to handle incoming enquiries β and itβs available right now inside MarketerM8/ HighLevel.
AI Has Changed the Game for Small Business Customer Service
I work closely with small business owners who want to streamline their sales, marketing, and customer service systems using HighLevel β the powerful all-in-one CRM and automation platform that underpins MarketerM8.

One of the most exciting developments in the last 12 months has been the introduction of AI tools that can intelligently answer your phone and man your live chat β 24/7 β for a fraction of the price of traditional services.
If youβre tired of:
-
Paying Β£300βΒ£500/month for an answering service
-
Missing calls or leads when your team is unavailable
-
Waiting for messages to be manually forwarded
-
Using live chat tools that only work during office hours
β¦then read on.
Introducing Voice AI and Conversation AI Inside MarketerM8
Hereβs how you can instantly upgrade your customer response setup β without adding more staff or increasing your overheads.

-
Book appointments straight into your diary
-
Take detailed messages and assign them to your CRM
-
Answer common questions about your services or pricing
-
Forward urgent calls to your mobile or another team member

Itβs like having a super-receptionist who never sleeps and never misses a call.
π¬ Conversation AI β Live Chat That Works 24/7
While your phone is being handled, your website and social media inboxes can be managed by Conversation AI. It can:
-
Respond instantly to messages on your website, Facebook, Instagram, and SMS
-
Answer FAQs about your business or services

Replacing human answering services with AI doesnβt just save money β it actually improves response times, customer experience, and lead conversion.
With MarketerM8, you can:
β
Slash your outsourced support costs
β
Ensure every enquiry is answered β even outside office hours
β

Is This the Right Move for Your Business?
If youβre a business owner currently using:

A virtual receptionist or VA for phone support
-
Live chat software that only operates during business hours
-
Manual inbox management across multiple platforms
Then itβs well worth considering a switch to AI with MarketerM8.
