The Opportunity

TKG Custom Homes has the chance to become the first custom home builder in the Texas Hill Country with an AI-powered sales assistant — capturing leads 24/7, engaging walk-ins at the model home, and converting more prospects into appointments.

While other builders make you wait for a callback, your AI assistant answers instantly — on your website AND on an iPad in the model home.

The Problem: Missed Opportunities

Model Home Walk-Ins

Someone walks in, no one's there. They look around, see a sign to call, and leave. That's a potential $500K+ sale walking out the door.

Website Visitors

78% of buyers choose the first company to respond. Average builder response time: 24-48 hours. Every hour of delay = leads going to competitors.

After-Hours Inquiries

25% of home shoppers engage outside business hours — evenings, weekends, late nights. Currently: No response until next business day.

The Data

Leads contacted within 1 minute are 391% more likely to convert. That's not a typo. Speed wins.

The Solution: AI Sales Assistant

A custom-built AI assistant trained on everything TKG — your previous builds, your design-build process, your communities, and your story. No cookie-cutter floor plans here — the AI understands that every TKG home is custom-designed around how each family actually lives.

💻

Website Chat Widget

  • • 24/7 availability on tkgcustomhomes.com
  • • Answers questions about your custom design-build process
  • • Captures contact info naturally through conversation
  • • Books appointments directly
📱

Model Home iPad Kiosk

  • • Placed on the kitchen island or entry
  • • Voice-enabled: visitors can talk to it
  • • Greets walk-ins when no one's available
  • • "Want me to have Coy reach out? He can be here in 10 minutes."

🏠 Built for Custom, Not Cookie-Cutter

The AI understands that TKG doesn't sell floor plans from a catalog. When someone asks "what floor plans do you have?" the assistant explains: "We don't do cookie-cutter homes. Every TKG home is custom-designed around how your family actually lives. I can show you some of our previous builds for inspiration, but your home will be uniquely yours. That's the TKG difference."

The Math: AI vs. Part-Time Employee

$20,000 - $26,000
Part-Time Employee (Year 1)
  • • Base wages ($15-18/hr × 832 hrs)
  • • Employer taxes (FICA, SUTA, etc.)
  • • Workers' comp insurance
  • • Training time (26-42 hours)
  • • Turnover costs (100%+ annually)
  • • Hidden costs (no-shows, scheduling)

Weekends only. 2-4 months to competency. High turnover. No after-hours. One location only.

$13,500
AI Sales Assistant (Year 1)
  • • Setup + development: $7,500
  • • Monthly service: $500/mo × 12 = $6,000
  • Year 2+: Just $6,000/year

24/7/365 availability. Website + model home. Unlimited visitors. Never calls in sick. Improves over time.

Factor Part-Time Employee AI Assistant
Year 1 Cost $20,000-26,000 $13,500
Year 2+ Cost $20,000-26,000 $6,000
Availability Weekends 10am-6pm 24/7/365
Website Coverage None Yes

What Others Have Seen

233%
Increase in Conversions

RE/MAX Edge implemented an AI chatbot and saw lead-to-appointment rates jump from 5% to 15%.

40%
More Appointments

Auto dealerships using AI report 40% increase in lead-to-appointment conversions and 33% shorter sales cycles.

75%
ROI Within 12 Months

Property management companies implementing AI see return on investment within the first year.

391%
Higher Conversion

Leads contacted within 1 minute are 391% more likely to convert than those contacted after an hour.

The TKG Scenario

AI captures just 2 additional leads per month that would have been lost. That's 24 leads/year. At 10% conversion = 2-3 extra homes. At $500K average with 12% margin = $60,000-90,000 additional profit. ROI: 4-6x in Year 1 alone.

Why This Matters for TKG

❌ Before AI

  • • "Leave a message, we'll call you back"
  • • Walk-ins wander the model home alone
  • • Competitors with faster response win leads
  • • Lost context when callbacks finally happen

✅ After AI

  • • "Your questions answered instantly, 24/7"
  • • Walk-ins are greeted, engaged, captured
  • • TKG responds in seconds, not days
  • • Full conversation history for every lead

First Mover Advantage

"TKG Custom Homes is the first Texas Hill Country custom builder with an AI concierge — available 24/7 on our website and at our model homes." This becomes a differentiator in every pitch, every conversation with realtors, every piece of marketing.
