Why a 30% trust tax proposal has finance brokers worried about more than the bill

A new 30% trust tax could force finance brokers into costly restructuring. COSBOA’s Skye Cappuccio says the real cost goes beyond the tax bill.

Most teams scale customer service by hiring, but with ElevenAgents, real-time voice and chat agents handle high volumes of interactions and resolve them faster.

When routine requests come in, they get answered in the moment, in 70+ languages. However, the complex ones route to humans with full context, so your team focuses only on the conversations that need judgment. The experience holds up because the agents sound human, not robotic. And with Expressive Mode, they read tone and adapt - de-escalating, reassuring, and guiding each conversation to a clear resolution.

You can train every agent on your knowledge base, SOPs, and policies, deploy across voice, chat, and WhatsApp, then keep improving with real-time CSAT tracking, A/B testing, and Guardrails.

The outcome is the one leaders care about: higher resolution rates, higher CSAT, and support that scales with demand instead of headcount. Pricing is transparent and flat at $0.08 per minute, with no add-ons to work around.
