Missed calls lead to customer frustration and lost revenue. Voice AI changes this. With voice AI, these missed opportunities can be transformed into meaningful conversations that build loyalty and drive growth.

On the latest The Modern Customer Podcast, I had a conversation with @Carson Hostetter, EVP & GM of AI + CX at @RingCentral, about how companies are using voice AI to:

✅ Replace outdated IVR menus with human-like dialogue

✅ Protect revenue by ensuring no call is missed

✅ Turn conversations into proactive customer service and business growth

Carson knows the stakes. As RingCentral’s former CRO, he helped grow ARR from $1.4B to $2.4B and scaled its enterprise business from $5M to $500M. Now, he’s applying that same growth mindset to AI.
