{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. CallMyCustomers works from your CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale list exactly as it is — there's no software to buy or learn and no cleanup required on your end. The free list review shows you your rate, setup, and what your list can produce before you spend a dollar.","question":"My client list is just a messy spreadsheet of past events — can you still work with that?"},{"answer":"There's a one-time flat Campaign Setup fee based on your list size, quoted at the free list review, plus Outreach Minutes at 9¢–21¢ per minute stepping down as volume grows. Campaign Management is monthly and folded into the plan — texts and emails aren't billed separately, and there are no per-seat or software fees.","question":"How much does it cost to run referral campaigns for a balloon decor business?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies coming in as soon as the first wave goes out. After that, follow-up keeps you top of mind with seasonal reminders and referral requests so clients never go dormant again.","question":"How quickly will I see rebooked events from a win-back campaign?"},{"answer":"Ads chase strangers — we call people who already know and hired you, which is roughly 5x cheaper than acquiring a new customer. Unlike a VA, there's no software to buy, no training, and no managing: real humans handle the judgment while automation handles the scale, and you approve every message before it goes out.","question":"How is this different from hiring a VA or running Facebook ads for my balloon business?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send your client list — CRM, spreadsheet, or POS export, exactly as it is.
