Spec: Question 01 Do your agents actually get on the phone with our leads?
Yes, on three calls and only three. A 15-minute question-and-answer call before a full appointment goes on your calendar, an outbound call to a stalled estimate once your sales process has ended, and a call to a happy customer who never answered the review or referral message. Everything else stays with your team.
Spec: Question 02 Where does your agent stop and our salesperson start?
The agent gets the answers. Your salesperson does the selling. Scope, pricing, financing, objections, the walkthrough, and the close all belong to your people. A Lead Care agent never quotes a price, never negotiates, and never runs the appointment. When a call turns into a real buying conversation, it goes to your salesperson with the history attached.
Spec: Question 03 Why not just use an answering service?
An answering service has never seen the job. Our agents are US-based and trained on your trades, your pricing range, and your service area, and they open every call already knowing where the lead came from, what they researched, and what they told you. They also work from a record that tells them which calls are worth making, so you are not paying for dials that were never going anywhere.
Spec: Question 04 Isn't this just an automated drip with a call center attached?
No. A drip fires because time passed. Follow-Up remembers what the buyer already did, notices when interest suddenly picks back up, and checks what changed before anything sends. A buying signal can flag a lead for attention, but it is not a green light on its own. The automation carries the volume, and a person is added only where a conversation is worth more than another message.
Spec: Question 05 When does rehash start?
Only after your active sales process has ended or you approve the handoff. A future follow-up date, a long quiet period, or a homeowner suddenly returning to high-interest pages can flag the estimate for rehash. Before anything sends or anyone dials, the system checks for recent replies, sales activity, appointments, quote changes, invoices, payments, stage changes, permission to contact, and do-not-contact settings.
Spec: Question 06 How do reviews and referrals work together?
They do not share the same ask or the same rules. An honest public review request and a referral opportunity run separately, and a referral never depends on a positive review. If an agent hears a service concern on the call, the ask stops and the concern goes to the person who knows the customer.
Spec: Question 07 Do we have to use all three workflows?
No. We start with the revenue leak that matters most right now. Qualification, rehash, and reviews and referrals each add signals to Lead Intelligence, so you can begin with one workflow and connect the others as they earn their place.
