ClientPro.ai is an AI business system based in Columbia, SC. We help small and mid-sized businesses answer every call, follow up with every lead, and run the busywork on autopilot, all from one platform instead of a drawer full of logins.
We are not a research lab and we are not a generic software reseller. We are operators who got tired of watching good businesses lose work to missed calls and slow follow-up, and we built ClientPro.ai to fix it.
Founded by an operator: Ben Lovro
ClientPro.ai was founded by Ben Lovro, an entrepreneur based in Lexington, South Carolina. Ben runs his own real estate business on the same AI systems and agents that ClientPro installs for clients. When we recommend a workflow, it is usually one we rely on ourselves.
That matters because running a business teaches you things a feature list never will. You learn that a lead who waits until tomorrow for a reply often calls someone else today. You learn that the best follow-up system is the one that runs when you are too busy to remember it.
Ben is also the author of the book *Skill Up*. The same idea runs through the company: the tools matter, but the people using them matter more, which is why training is part of how we work.
What ClientPro.ai builds
The platform brings together the systems a small business usually buys separately, with AI built in rather than bolted on.
- A CRM for small business with unlimited leads and users and a visual sales pipeline.
- The AI Employee: 24/7 call answering, message taking, and appointment booking through an AI receptionist.
- Missed-call text-back, voicemail-to-text, and a business phone system.
- Webchat and a unified inbox for calls, texts, emails, and social messages.
- Text and email marketing, social media scheduling, and unlimited websites and funnels.
- Invoicing with text-to-pay, reputation and review management, and listings management.
How we work with clients
Some owners want the software and a quick start. Plans begin at $97/month with a 14-day free trial, and the tiers are Essentials ($97/mo), Professional ($197/mo), and Elite Marketing ($397/mo).
Others want it designed and built for them. For those clients we offer consulting, custom AI agents, and training as services. We start with discovery, map the workflow, build and pilot it, train the team, and then review what to add next. You can read more about that process on our South Carolina AI consultant page.
Why ClientPro.ai started in Columbia, SC
South Carolina is full of businesses that do excellent work and still lose customers for reasons that have nothing to do with quality. The phone rings while the owner is on a roof. A web form sits unanswered until the evening. A great job never turns into a review because nobody asked.
Those are not skill problems. They are capacity problems, and capacity is exactly what AI is good at adding. We started ClientPro.ai to give owner-operated businesses the same always-on follow-up that larger companies get from full sales and support teams, at a price a small business can justify.
Being in Columbia keeps us close to the kinds of businesses we serve: contractors, practices, agents, restaurants, and professional firms across the Midlands and the rest of the state. It also keeps us honest. Our own business runs on this platform, so when something is clunky, we feel it first.
What we believe about AI in small business
- Start with the bottleneck, not the tool. The best first AI project fixes the problem that costs you the most today.
- Keep a human in the loop. AI should handle the routine and hand off the judgment calls.
- Be honest about limits. AI is not magic, and results vary. We will not promise numbers we cannot back up.
- Respect the rules. Calls and texts carry consent obligations, and some industries carry privacy rules. We help you configure tools around them, and you confirm your requirements with your own advisors.
- Make it stick. A system nobody uses is a cost, not an investment. Training is part of the job.
