Question 10

Is Mikla better than hiring a dedicated events coordinator?

Accepted Answer

Mikla complements your team rather than replacing them.

Your team can focus on events and production while Mikla handles initial qualification.

Question 11

What's the ROI of using AI for brewery sales?

Accepted Answer

Breweries using Mikla typically see 40-50% more qualified leads captured (by eliminating missed calls and slow responses), 45% increase in event bookings, and significant time savings. The average private event is worth $8,000+, so capturing even a few additional leads per month delivers substantial ROI.

Question 12

Can customers tell they're talking to an AI?

Accepted Answer

Mikla uses natural, conversational language that matches your brewery's personality. Many customers don't realize they're interacting with AI. However, we believe in transparency - you can configure Mikla to identify itself if preferred. The key is instant, accurate responses rather than waiting.
