Plain talk about phones, AI and local growth.
I speak with business groups, podcasts and local media about how small businesses can answer every call and follow up without hiring a front desk.
Talk topics

Town pages, service pages and intake forms that turn search traffic into phone calls.

Rodrigue Dossouvi is the founder of CallDirector AI and PBXtoAI. For more than 22 years he has designed, tested and run phone systems for large organizations, including the carrier connections and call routing that keep them reachable.
