Case study · Tax preparation network, United States

32,590 calls nobody had time to make.

A tax network had a client base and a season, and nobody with time to call them all. We built an AI voice layer on Atlas and wrote every outcome into the CRM, so the pipeline stopped living in somebody's head.

The problem

The list existed. The hours did not.

A tax practice knows exactly who its clients are. Nobody calls them, because the whole season goes to the returns that already walked in. So the base goes cold quietly.

What was built

The base, worked end to end, without adding a single caller.

01
The call layer on Atlas.Calls that work the list, qualify, and pass a live person over.
02
Deduplication by phone.32,590 attempts became 2,744 real people.
03
Every outcome in the CRM.
04
Two channels, one pipeline.Handoffs by call and by SMS land in the same funnel.

Who did which part

Three people. Same split, different industry.

Status

Reported as running at the 18 September cut. Not re-verified since.

The numbers here are a cut, not an ending. Every month we tune who gets called, at what hour, and what counts as qualified. We build it with Atlas. We are open to running this for other companies.

What this does not prove

The honest edges.

  • This is a base being reactivated, not cold prospecting. These people already knew the business.
  • 8 signed, 3 closed by the cut-off. The other 5 were in onboarding.
  • Closed won is a CRM stage value, not verified collections. The rest is pipeline.
  • Five months shows a season, not a renewal.
The other account

Same system, a different industry.
