Business Case Model — Prepared for CSS

What half your CSR's phone time is worth

Right now your CSR spends roughly 10 hours a week fielding inbound calls — time that isn't going toward the recommended actions your clients actually pay for. Move the levers below to see what happens as an AI assistant absorbs part of that load, and what it means for revenue, cost, and the bottom line.

1 · Time Reallocation

How much phone time moves, and where it goes.

10.0 hrs
50%

Bots rarely take 100% — complex or sensitive calls still route to a human.

80%

Adjust down to model an early rollout period rather than a fully-adopted bot.

70%

The remainder still counts — valued as reclaimed CSR time below, not as selling time.

2 · Conversion & Value

What that redirected time turns into.

30%
$500

3 · Cost Basis

What the CSR's time and the assistant itself cost.

$45
$30,000
Optional · Retention & Satisfaction Impact

Faster answers and more proactive outreach tend to reduce churn, but that link is usually softer than a direct sale. Toggle this on only if CSS has data connecting recommended actions to renewal.

Where the CSR's phone hours go

Same weekly hours, before and after — reallocated, not multiplied.

Why revenue and time-savings aren't just added twice: hours redirected to recommended actions are valued as sales revenue; hours redirected elsewhere are valued at the CSR's hourly cost. No single hour is counted in both places.
