Local businesses are losing leads every single day to missed calls — and most of them have no idea how much it’s costing them. In this video, I walk you through how to deploy a Vapi AI voice agent that answers calls, handles questions, and captures leads automatically. No code required. No monthly software subscription. Just a smarter way to solve a very real problem for your clients.

I also break down the Dial-In Deployment Method — a three-layer framework for building voice agents that actually feel like trained staff members, not robots reading from a script.

Whether you’re a freelancer looking to add a high-value service or a small business owner tired of losing after-hours inquiries, this one is worth your full attention.

What’s covered:
00:00 – Why missed calls are a leverage problem, not a scheduling problem
01:45 – What Vapi is and why the pricing model changes everything
02:50 – The Dial-In Deployment Method (3-layer framework)
04:10 – Setting up your first Vapi assistant step by step
05:20 – How the conversation handling actually works
06:00 – Turning Vapi into a done-for-you service for local businesses
06:45 – The audit-first approach that removes sales friction
07:15 – Real-world example: mobile dog groomer case study
07:40 – Why the opportunity window is still wide open
