Convert’s always-on AI handles intake and scheduling, turning missed calls and messages into real revenue for local businesses

Scorpion, the leading provider of digital marketing and technology solutions for local businesses, announced the launch of Scorpion Convert, an AI-powered intake and conversion tool that helps businesses instantly respond to and qualify leads, turning more prospects into revenue-driving business. The launch follows a successful beta, where Convert consistently turned missed opportunities into booked jobs and measurable revenue.

Convert addresses a key challenge for local businesses: the gap between generating leads and actually closing them. Missed calls, delayed responses, after-hours requests, and limited staff coverage all lead to lost revenue. Notably, 30-50% of calls go unanswered, even at strong-performing businesses. Convert fills that gap with AI voice and messaging assistants that work 24/7 across phone, text, chat, and forms, responding instantly and helping move leads forward without adding headcount.

“Convert was built to solve a real problem we see every day: local businesses doing everything right to generate leads but still missing out on revenue from leads that go unanswered,” said Rustin Kretz, Founder and CEO of Scorpion. “Convert gives them a way to stay responsive around the clock to turn more inquiries into revenue while saving time for their team.”

Built on thousands of real intake conversations, Convert uses AI to engage naturally with prospects in a way that feels human and helpful. It integrates with popular CRM and practice management systems like ServiceTitan, Clio, and others for real-time scheduling, making it easy to plug into the systems businesses already use.

During the Convert beta, Scorpion worked with a range of local businesses to measure performance and revenue impact. Results showed consistent gains in lead conversion and booked revenue, including:

• A 26% average increase in booking rates across participating clients.
• $28,000 in new sales captured in just one week by Plumbrite, a Nebraska plumbing business, that would have otherwise been missed.
• A 60% increase in lead-to-customer conversions for California A-1 Heating & Cooling, a California-based HVAC business.
• Nearly $1 million in new revenue generated across participating businesses.

“This is revenue many businesses are losing without even knowing it,” said Dan Bedell, President of Enterprise at Scorpion. “Convert doesn’t just answer the phone. It drives results. It has one job: help you turn more of your marketing into paying customers.”
