10 hours per week. That's 520 hours per year — more than 13 full work weeks — that teams can reclaim by delegating phone calls to AI.
This isn't theoretical. It's based on real usage patterns from teams using KallyAI. Here's how they do it.
The Phone Call Tax
Every team pays an invisible tax: time spent on phone calls. It's not just the call itself — it's the context switching, the hold times, the mental preparation, and the follow-up documentation.
For a typical team of 5-10 people, here's where phone time goes:
- Vendor/supplier calls: 3-4 hours/week
- Appointment scheduling: 2-3 hours/week
- Customer follow-ups: 2-3 hours/week
- Information gathering: 1-2 hours/week
- Administrative calls: 1-2 hours/week
Total: 10-14 hours per week across the team.
The 80/20 of Phone Calls
Not all calls are created equal. About 80% of business phone calls are routine and predictable:
- "I need to schedule an appointment for [date/time]"
- "What's the status of order #12345?"
- "Can you confirm the delivery date?"
- "I need to reschedule our meeting"
- "What are your hours/prices/availability?"
These calls don't require human judgment — they require human time. That's where AI excels.
How High-Performing Teams Structure Phone Delegation
Strategy 1: The Morning Batch
Some teams batch their call requests in the morning. They spend 5-10 minutes at 9 AM queuing up all the calls they need made that day. By noon, most are complete with summaries ready to review.
Strategy 2: The Instant Delegation
Other teams delegate calls the moment they arise. Customer asks about a vendor? Delegate immediately. Need to confirm an appointment? Send it to AI right away.
Strategy 3: The Scheduled Automation
Teams using the API integrate KallyAI into their workflows. Calls are automatically triggered based on events:
- New customer signup → Welcome call to gather preferences
- Order shipped → Confirmation call to recipient
- Appointment tomorrow → Reminder call to confirm
Real Team Workflows
Workflow 1: The Operations Team
Team size: 4 people
Primary calls: Vendor coordination, order tracking, delivery scheduling
Before KallyAI: Each team member spent 2-3 hours/day on phone calls
After KallyAI: 30 minutes/day reviewing summaries and handling exceptions
Time saved: 8-10 hours/day across the team
Workflow 2: The Sales Team
Team size: 6 people
Primary calls: Appointment scheduling, follow-up confirmations, information gathering
Before KallyAI: 15-20 calls/day for administrative tasks
After KallyAI: All administrative calls delegated, reps focus on selling
Result: 25% increase in selling time per rep
Workflow 3: The Executive Team
Team size: 2 executives + 1 EA
Primary calls: Appointment booking, travel arrangements, vendor research
Before KallyAI: EA spent 50% of time on phone tasks
After KallyAI: EA handles strategic coordination, KallyAI handles routine calls
Result: EA capacity effectively doubled

Learn About Team PlansThe Compounding Effect
Time savings compound in unexpected ways:
1. Reduced Context Switching
Every phone call interrupts flow. Eliminating routine calls means longer periods of focused work.
2. Faster Decision-Making
Information that used to take hours to gather is available in minutes. Decisions happen faster.
3. Better Documentation
Every call is automatically transcribed and summarized. No more "what did they say?" — the record is always available.
4. Improved Morale
Phone calls are consistently rated as one of the least-liked work tasks. Removing this burden improves team satisfaction.
Getting Started With Your Team
- Audit your calls: Track phone activity for one week
- Identify routine calls: Which calls follow predictable patterns?
- Start small: Delegate one type of call first (e.g., appointment scheduling)
- Measure results: Track time saved and outcomes
- Expand gradually: Add more call types as you validate the process
