Question 1

Who are we actually hiring?

Accepted Answer

A small remote operations team that has spent years running back-office work for U.S. fence contractors. Real people on your calls, not software and not an AI answering system.

Question 2

Do you only work with fence contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fencing is the trade we know, and it is the reason a call sounds right to a homeowner. Linear feet, gates, tear-out, post depth, 811, HOA colour approvals, why a corner lot changes the price.

Question 3

How many contractors do you work with at once?

Accepted Answer

Deliberately few. The whole model depends on knowing your process well enough to answer as your company, which does not work at volume.

Question 4

How long before you are actually working our leads?

Accepted Answer

Usually within a week or two of the kickoff session. The assessment call comes first, then one working session covering your process in detail, then access to your systems.

Question 5

Who on our team needs to be involved?

Accepted Answer

One person who genuinely knows how the operation runs. Usually the owner in a smaller company, or whoever handles scheduling and the office side.

Question 6

What do you need from us to get going?

Accepted Answer

Access to the systems you already use, your qualifying questions, your scheduling rules and service areas, and a clear picture of who does what today.

Question 7

What does Speed to Lead actually handle?

Accepted Answer

Everything from a lead arriving to a confirmed estimate on your calendar. Contact attempts, follow-up to an agreed cadence, the project qualified in fencing terms, and your CRM kept current.

Question 8

What happens between the signature and the crew?

Accepted Answer

That is Pre-Construction. Deposit verification, 811 coordination, HOA and permit awareness, material orders and site readiness, all tracked to a status before a job is released to production.

Question 9

Does the work stop once the fence is built?

Accepted Answer

No. Field Production runs through closeout. Crew routing and material drops, then the walkthrough booked, the final invoice triggered in your system, and the remaining balance followed up until the job can actually be closed.

Question 10

Can we start with one stage instead of all three?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and most contractors do. Lead response is the usual starting point because that is where the loss is most visible, and the rest gets added once you can see it working.

Question 11

Do we have to change our CRM or buy new software?

Accepted Answer

No. We work inside whatever you already run, whether that is a full CRM, a shared calendar and a spreadsheet, or something in between. Nothing gets migrated and no data moves to a system of ours.

Question 12

Do you use your process or ours?

Accepted Answer

Yours. Your qualifying questions, your scheduling rules, your follow-up cadence, your way of speaking to homeowners.

Question 13

What happens when our process changes?

Accepted Answer

You tell us and we change with it. New service area, different scheduling rule, a new estimator, a different way of handling deposits. None of that needs a formal change to the engagement.

Question 14

Are you replacing our office staff?

Accepted Answer

Not unless that is what you want. Most of our work sits alongside people already there, taking the load that has been landing on an owner's evenings or a stretched office manager.

Question 15

Who does the homeowner think they are speaking to?

Accepted Answer

Your company. We answer in your company name, ask your questions, and book into your calendar. Nothing about the call tells a homeowner anyone else is involved.

Question 16

How do we know what has actually been done?

Accepted Answer

Everything is logged in your systems as it happens, so you open your CRM and see the real position rather than asking anyone.

Question 17

What happens to our customer data?

Accepted Answer

It stays yours and it stays where it is. Your leads, homeowner details, pricing and job records live in your systems, not ours. We work inside your tools rather than copying anything into a database of our own.

Question 18

Do you work with other fence contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fencing is the only trade we work in, and that focus is what makes us useful to you.

Question 19

Do you cover evenings and weekends?

Accepted Answer

Coverage runs seven days a week, 7am to 9pm, with the exact window agreed with your company. Evening and weekend enquiries are worked as they arrive inside that window.

Question 20

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

A monthly base fee for the coverage you choose, plus a per estimate fee when an appointment is actually booked. If an appointment cancels, you are not charged for it.

Question 21

Is there a setup or onboarding fee?

Accepted Answer

The assessment call is free and there is nothing to pay to have the conversation. Anything beyond that is set out plainly before you commit, with no fee that appears later.

Question 22

What happens when our volume grows or we add crews?

Accepted Answer

The work scales with you and the arrangement gets revisited rather than quietly stretched. More leads, more crews or a new service area all change the shape of what we are doing.

Question 23

Are we locked into a long contract?

Accepted Answer

No. The work should hold on its own merits, and if it is not working you should be able to say so.

Question 24

Do you close the sale?

Accepted Answer

No. Your estimator prices the work and wins it. We make sure the opportunity reaches them while it is still winnable, with enough context that they are not starting from nothing.

Question 25

Do you pull permits, perform surveys, or control 811?

Accepted Answer

No to all three. We are not a permitting authority, an HOA, a surveyor, or a utility locating service. Permits are issued by the authority and held in your name, locating is done by the 811 centre and the utility operators.

Question 26

Do you handle our money?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not take payments, hold funds, or act as your company in a financial capacity. Deposits and balances go directly to you through your own systems.

Question 27

Do you generate leads for us?

Accepted Answer

No. We are not a lead generation company and we do not sell you leads. You already pay for yours through Angi, Google, referrals or your own name in the market.

Got It. We Will Be in Touch Tomorrow.
