66 calls ended as a booked appointment, from 65 unique callers, and 4 of those appointments were booked while the service department was closed. Cleo also handled about 22 hours of customer conversations. A booked-appointment call is a call that ended as a scheduled appointment in Cleo’s call log. It is not a completed appointment and it is not revenue: Cleo does not report whether customers arrived or what work was paid for. These are one dealership’s results, not a promise of yours.

How Cleo works at BMW of Myrtle Beach
Answer, book into myKaarma, or hand off to a person.
01 · Answer and collect the details
Cleo answers the call and asks one question at a time: name, callback number, vehicle, mileage, the service needed and when the owner wants to come in. It looks the customer up by the confirmed callback number, confirms which vehicle on file is coming in, and mentions an upcoming appointment before booking a new one.
02 · Book it into myKaarma
BMW of Myrtle Beach’s scheduler is myKaarma. Cleo offers only the transportation options the dealership has set up, reads the open times myKaarma returns, creates the appointment when the owner picks one and reads back the day and time only after the booking succeeds.
03 · Hand off when a person is needed
If no time is open or a booking fails, Cleo never says an appointment is booked and never retries: it offers a callback request and creates a callback task for the service team with the details it collected. Cleo can also transfer a call to a destination the store configures.
In the same window 9 calls were logged as an updated appointment and 5 as a canceled appointment. Cleo books only the times myKaarma shows as open: it cannot create capacity that is not in the schedule.

How to read these numbers.
What the outcome labels mean
Every inbound call carries one outcome label in Cleo’s call log, so the labels in the chart add up to 459. Message, where Cleo took a message for the team, is the largest label here, and transferred means the call was handed to a person. 64 calls carry no outcome label. Booked appointments and transfers are separate labels on separate calls, not parts of one another.
Department and closed hours
301 of the 459 calls were logged to the service department, and 66 of the 66 booked appointments were for service. 127 were logged to the parts department. The 4 bookings counted as closed are measured against the service department’s own hours.
