- Are the CRM, phone, and reporting tools included?
- Yes. The standard FirstQuarter operating tools we use to deliver the desk are included in the package price. Our team works inside those tools and your dashboard shows the results. Client-owned systems, custom integrations, unusual software requirements, and third-party subscriptions outside the standard workflow are scoped separately.
- Do clients get direct access to the internal calling or CRM tools?
- No. FirstQuarter agents work in the internal tools. Clients use the FirstQuarter dashboard, reports, and agreed exports. This keeps the workflow controlled and protects client and account data.
- Do you do cold calling?
- No standard package includes purchased-list cold calling or outbound to people who have not requested contact. FirstQuarter follows up on permissioned leads only.
- What counts as a lead-handling unit?
- Lead-handling units make the work countable. A unit records an eligible lead or customer inquiry, the approved response activity, pipeline notes, next action, and meeting/demo booking when qualified. The exact response depth depends on the package and approved workflow.
- What is not included?
- No ads, social media, content, brand strategy, website or app development, and no legal, tax, accounting, medical, financial or other regulated advice. Support and call volume are capped by package.
- Can we upgrade from Starter Callback to Lead Response Desk or Operations Desk?
- Yes. Starter Callback is designed for early validation. If real volume appears, you can move to Lead Response Desk or Operations Desk at the published package terms.
