FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I trust your experience if you're new to my market?
We analyze similar markets to identify success factors. Refer to the “Is Your Market a Good Fit” criteria.
How many case-signing appointments do you guarantee?
Targets are set during the discovery call based on your budget, local demand, historical data, and intake efficiency. These are credited if no appointment shows; power appointments booked on my calendar.
What does the onboarding process look like?
We do a quick one-time onboarding and sync your calendar to our system.
How are appointments actually booked on my calendar?
We handle everything—from ad click to intake—then pre-screen and schedule qualified leads directly onto your calendar.
What happens if someone doesn’t show up to their appointment?
You only pay for leads who actually show. No-shows and unqualified bookings are on us, not your wallet. We will continue to follow up to rebook the lead.
What qualifies as a “shown appointment”?
An individual who matches your firm’s criteria, completes intake, and attends their scheduled consultation via phone or in person.
How do you ensure the leads are high intent?
We use your pre-qualification questions and can add anything missing (e.g., seriousness level, budget).
Do I have to manage ads or landing pages myself?
No. All ad management, custom landing pages, SEO, and CRM automation are handled for you—completely done-for-you.
How soon can I start receiving appointments?
Most clients see appointments within the first week, but it’s not guaranteed.
What happens if I don’t close any clients?
That’s what our check-in calls are for: review outcomes, adjust screening, and ensure leads match your services.
Is there any long-term commitment or contract?
No long-term contracts. Stay as long as we deliver. We earn your trust with performance, not paperwork.
