APPLICATION · 10 QUESTIONS · 48-HOUR REVIEW

We don't take every business. Apply to see if you're a fit.

We turned away 4 of the last 11 businesses that asked to work with us. Wrong stage, wrong vertical, wrong appetite for change. A bad-fit Pilot wastes 30 days for both of us. So we built an application instead of a demo button. 10 questions. Honest yes or no in 48 hours.

What happens after you submit

Within 48 hours, I (Rick) personally review your application. Not a chatbot. Not a junior rep. Me.

If we're a fit, you get a Calendly link to my discovery calendar. We talk for 20-30 minutes. No slide deck. No pitch. We do the math together and you walk away with a yes or no.

If we're not a fit, I tell you why in writing and recommend a competitor (Smith.ai, Rosie, AIRA, Dialzara — depending on what you actually need). No hard feelings, no follow-up sequence.

Who this works for. Who it doesn't.

This isn't a soft sell — it's an honest filter so neither of us wastes a month.

This works if you're…

  • An owner-operator in dental, HVAC, medspa, real estate, home health, credit repair, pawn, or a similar service business
  • Doing $30K-$2M/mo in revenue with 50-2,000 inbound calls/month
  • Currently losing real money to missed calls, voicemail-to-nothing, or a front desk that can't keep up
  • Ready to move in 30 days, not "researching for Q3"
  • Willing to commit $997-$5K/mo for something that actually fixes the problem

This doesn't work if you're…

  • Pre-revenue, idea-stage, or doing under $10K/mo (we'd cost more than we recover)
  • An enterprise with 10K+ calls/month and a custom IVR stack (we're not built for you)
  • "Just kicking tires" or comparing 9 vendors on a spreadsheet
  • Expecting AI to fix a broken offer, broken sales process, or broken team
  • Looking for the cheapest option (we're not — and we won't pretend to be)

The 10-question application.

Takes 4-6 minutes. We read every answer.

CONTACT INFO
We send the application result to this email + text. Both required so we can actually get back to you.
QUESTION 1 OF 10
If you don't have a website yet, write "no site" — won't disqualify you.
QUESTION 2 OF 10
We're vertical-trained. Pick the closest match — "Other" is fine if nothing fits.
QUESTION 3 OF 10
Honest range. We use this to math out whether ARF actually pays for itself — not to size you up.
QUESTION 4 OF 10
Rough is fine. "About 200 calls/month, mostly Google Ads + organic" is plenty.
QUESTION 5 OF 10
Be specific. "We miss calls after 6pm" is more useful than "answering is slow."
QUESTION 6 OF 10
No judgment either way. If you tried Smith.ai, Rosie, AIRA, Goodcall, Air AI, or anything else — what worked, what didn't.
QUESTION 7 OF 10
This isn't a hard quote — it's just to know if our pricing math is even in the same zip code.
QUESTION 8 OF 10
Tire-kickers and "researching for Q3" go to the bottom of the queue. Not as punishment — just so the ready-to-move folks get the next slot.
QUESTION 9 OF 10
10 = "I've got my card out, let's go." 1 = "I might think about it next year." Be honest. We can't help a 3.
5
1 · "maybe someday" 10 · "let's go today"
QUESTION 10 OF 10
Concrete. "20 more booked appointments a month, zero after-hours missed calls, and a CRM that updates itself." Tells us if we can actually deliver what you want.
ANYTHING ELSE
HIPAA need, compliance flag, weird vertical detail, partner you want to loop in, etc. Helpful but not required.
