What is marketing automation?
Marketing automation uses agreed triggers and
workflows to support routine actions such as
inquiry acknowledgments, notifications, tasks,
and appointment reminders. It helps organize
repetitive steps while your team remains
responsible for customer relationships.
What is a CRM and why does my business need one?
A customer relationship management system
helps organize customer contacts, inquiries,
appointments, and opportunities in one place.
It gives your team a shared view of what
needs attention and what has happened.
Is marketing automation included in W.A.Y. Core?
Yes. W.A.Y. Core includes standard CRM access,
one tailored lead pipeline, contact and booking
tools, missed-call text-back, approved standard
inquiry follow-up, appointment reminders,
and available lead reporting within
the accepted service scope.
How much does marketing automation cost?
Standard CRM and marketing automation
are included in W.A.Y. Core for $397/month.
Core + Ads costs $897/month and adds professional
paid advertising management. Communications
usage, additional integrations, and
expanded workflows may cost extra.
Do you include appointment booking?
Yes. Standard appointment calendar
configuration is included, subject
to supported functionality and
agreed scheduling requirements.
Advanced scheduling integrations
may require additional work.
Do you set up missed-call text-back?
Yes. We configure a standard
missed-call text-back workflow
for eligible connected phone numbers.
Sending requires applicable consent,
registration, and communications
charges where required.
Can you automatically follow up with new inquiries?
Yes. Standard approved inquiry
acknowledgments and follow-up
can be configured within the
agreed scope. Complex multi-stage
sequences or specialized routing
may require an additional proposal.
Will you build customized automation workflows?
Standard workflow configuration
is included. Additional pipelines,
complex integrations, multi-step
custom automation, extensive estimate
nurturing, and reactivation campaigns
are not automatically included.
We can evaluate those needs separately.
Does W.A.Y. Core include AI receptionist configuration?
No. Conversational AI telephone
receptionist configuration is
a separately quoted service.
Standard Core includes missed-call
text-back, CRM, booking, and
approved follow-up tools.
Are text messages and emails unlimited?
No. Text messaging, telephone calls,
email sending, numbers, and
required registrations may
involve separate usage charges.
Applicable rates and limits
are disclosed for approval.
Can you connect my existing business tools?
We can assess compatibility
and suitable connections.
Standard supported integrations
may be included in agreed setup;
complex or custom integrations
require separate review and approval.
Will automation replace my office staff?
No. Automation supports selected
repetitive tasks. Your team
remains responsible for answering
customer questions, providing
estimates, making service decisions,
resolving issues, and completing sales.
Can I track leads and appointments?
Yes. The standard CRM and lead pipeline
can organize available contacts,
inquiries, and opportunity stages.
Accurate appointment, job, and
revenue reporting depends on
configured sources and information
maintained by your team.
Can I request changes after launch?
W.A.Y. Core includes one approved
implementation request of up to
60 minutes monthly after launch.
Unused time does not roll over.
Larger workflow changes and
custom development require
separately approved scope.
Does the $897 plan include more automations?
Not automatically. Both plans
include the same standard CRM
and follow-up scope.
The additional $500/month covers
professional paid advertising management,
creative development, campaign optimization,
and associated advertising services.
Will I own my customer information?
Your customer data remains yours
under the accepted service agreement.
Available exports are addressed
in the standard handoff terms.
Managed CRM access and licensed
workflows are not automatically transferable.
Can you guarantee more leads or customers?
No. Automation helps organize
and support customer communication,
but cannot guarantee inquiries,
appointments, customer responses,
completed jobs, or sales.
Marketing outcomes depend
on multiple business factors.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. Standard plans are month-to-month
without a separate setup fee,
minimum subscription term, or
cancellation penalty. Cancellation
applies to future renewals according
to the accepted
Marketing Services Terms
