A full-time receptionist in New Orleans typically earns $45,000-$55,000 annually. When you factor in benefits (health insurance, payroll taxes, workers' compensation), you're looking at approximately $65,000-$75,000 in total annual costs. Additional expenses include training ($2,000-$5,000), paid time off, and potential turnover costs.

OAK AI's solution costs a fraction of traditional hiring—typically starting at a few hundred dollars per month, depending on your call volume and features. Over a year, you're looking at less than 15% of what you'd spend on a single employee, with no additional benefits, taxes, or training expenses.
