Our answers

The same checklist we hand you — answered

Your Success Blueprint ends with a one-page checklist for judging any automation vendor. We tell you to ask it of everyone you talk to, us included. So here are our answers, in writing.

We hold ourselves to this same list. Read it before you sign with anyone. Then make us match it. If a vendor will not answer these in writing, that tells you something.

Three questions to ask any vendor
1. Show me the full list of tools you set up. Which ones have monthly fees I keep paying after the build?
You should ask this of every vendor

We give you the full tool list before you sign, with each monthly cost spelled out. Some tools we build on do carry their own fees — a phone line, a calendar, a voice service. We name every one and what it runs per month, so you can compare us against anyone. No surprise bills land on you in month two.

2. What does the handoff look like in month 4? Do I get admin access to every system? Can I change things without you? Is there a written guide for each workflow?
You should ask this of every vendor

You own every account, and you hold admin on all of it. You can change things without us. We hand you a written guide for each workflow, so your team can run the system on its own. You are never locked into needing us to push a button.

3. Show me one customer my size, with before-and-after numbers. Which numbers moved — and which did not?
You should ask this of every vendor

We will walk you through a real customer near your size, not a generic story. We show what moved and what did not. We are a young company, so when our matched example is thin, we say so plainly rather than dress it up. We would rather lose the deal than fake a case study.

Three red flags — and where we stand
Red flag: revenue promises with no conditions attached.
Watch for this with every vendor

We do not promise a revenue number. No "guaranteed +30% in 90 days." We show you a system and what it can do if you run it as designed. The planning numbers in your Blueprint are clearly marked as planning, not promises. If a vendor guarantees your revenue, treat it as marketing.

Red flag: one vendor holds everything, with no exit plan.
Watch for this with every vendor

The day you leave, you take your customer data, your call recordings, and your settings with you. They live in accounts you own. Our written agreement says how you get everything back. You own your operation. You do not rent it from us.

Red flag: no named human on the build team.
Watch for this with every vendor

You get a named lead on your build, not "a team will be assigned." You can ask what they do in week 1, week 2, and week 3. If someone leaves mid-build, we tell you who picks it up. A real name, not a black box.

Three things to verify before signing
Verify: get the vendor's data answers in writing.
Confirm this with every vendor

Here are ours. Where is your data stored? In named accounts you own, with a U.S.-based host. Who else can see it? Only the people working your build, plus the services that run the system, under data-protection terms. How long do we keep it? As long as you are a customer, then we hand it over and remove our copies on request. How fast do we tell you about a breach? We notify you quickly, in writing, with what happened and what to do. All four sit in one document.

Verify: who keeps the phone numbers, domains, and Google profiles when the work ends?
Confirm this with every vendor

You do. A number we set up for you moves with you, to any carrier you pick. If we touch your Google profile, you hold full admin — not a permission we can take back. Your domain stays yours. Nothing we set up for you leaves with us.

Verify: confirm the exit terms before you sign.
Confirm this with every vendor

How much notice? 60 days. What happens to unfinished work? We hand off what is built and the plan for what is not. Do you keep the written guides we wrote? Yes — every workflow guide is yours to keep. The terms are in the agreement, not buried.

One more honest note. The $5,000 System Review is non-refundable, and we say so up front. You are paying for the analysis and the findings, which are yours to keep and use with any vendor — including a competitor of ours. That is the whole point of the checklist above.
