Overview

Griffith Financial Services replaced manual text workarounds with RingCentral AI Receptionist (AIR) and RingEX. This shift to automated scheduling and FAQ resolution modernized the client experience while boosting revenue by 20%.
I realized that if we could equip the AI Receptionist with answers to common questions, and direct prospects to the right places to take action, we could deliver better service and limit our interruptions throughout the workday.

About our customer

Griffith Financial has provided trusted wealth management and estate planning services to individuals and business owners for two decades. The firm's mission is to help clients at every life stage build a sound financial future through expert investment portfolios and retirement management.

The challenge: Infrastructure constraints and inbound overflow

As the firm’s reputation grew, the volume of inbound inquiries began to overwhelm existing workflows. A significant friction point emerged when clients started calling the CEO directly on his personal cell phone, creating a disruptive environment where his only recourse was to send delayed, manual text messages while on other calls. 
This infrastructure relied on inefficient workarounds that compromised staff productivity and the client experience.
 
  • Manual Interruption: Executives had to pause critical work to answer routine questions or schedule appointments.
  • Disjointed Systems: Team members across the United States,  struggled to share call queues or transfer inquiries across local landlines and personal devices.
  • Service Wait Times: Callers faced long delays for basic information, such as FAQs or resource links.

The solution and ROI: Driving growth with an intelligent call resolution

To solve the challenge of manual workflows and fragmented access, Griffith Financial Services adopted a unified communication suite. RingCentral delivers the following results with an AI first workflow:
 
  • AIR drives a 20% increase in total revenue by automating FAQs and appointment scheduling via Calendly—an integration that required only 30 minutes to implement.
  • RingEX solves the problem of disjointed systems by uniting the firm's Mississippi and California locations on one unified platform. RingCentral SMS and call routing contribute to  40% of time with digital communication.
