What to demonstrate before committing
- Run a new enquiry through estimate, scheduled job and invoice.
- Demonstrate a recurring service plan and ask which tier it requires.
- Ask for a written total including phones, messaging, processing and onboarding.
Use a fictional customer and a representative job. Record the exact paid tier used in the demonstration and any additional services needed. Treat an unresolved requirement as a question, not an included feature.
