When Smith Douglas Homes reached out to Verse, they faced the same challenges as others in the industry. Issues like costly realtor fees, low-quality leads, and a busy sales force were top of mind. They needed to build their brand in new neighborhoods and find ways to educate and encourage prospective clients after regular business hours.
The Challenge
The Smith Douglas team was experiencing a lot of web traffic in the evenings and on weekends. Naturally, they wanted to engage homebuyers effectively after hours. Accomplishing this would create more leads, improve lead qualification, and ultimately generate more sales.
Smith Douglas Homes also required more support for customers further in the sales funnel. While no digital assistant could ever replace a human’s outstanding customer service, they can answer all the common questions your customers have (even at 2 a.m.).
Thanks to the AI digital assistant, Smith Douglas Homes achieved the 24/7/365 customer support their clients and sales team needed. They sold 50+ homes in less than a year and generated $3.8 million in new revenue. They also experienced a 66% increase in direct sales, which saved the company $54,515 in commission fees (at 3%).
