That's what we're here for. We're here to save lives and help your business take over the world.
Yeah, and also my team members are happy because I'm not like tearing my hair out.
So we got a $1,300 a month deal. They were referred because this guy I used to work with at HomeAdvisor knew them. They're a big digital marketing agency. They have 550 numbers and 13,000 minutes right now with one of our competitors. They're looking to save money, plus they said that the competitors, like the tracking wasn't really accurate, but it seemed like they were loving everything that we were doing. And I quoted them at $1,300, and that's gonna be significantly less. Is price a pain point for them? I think so, but like, I don't think that much of a pain point. Like, hey, if it works better for what we need and it's cheaper, why not? Yeah. And then by, um, by HomeAdvisor, do you mean like the sector of M Help Desk that you worked at that HomeAdvisor bought, or is it like somebody you knew? No, no, they worked at HomeAdvisor in Denver. I mean, you think if we take them out and put them back in, he's gonna lose all the historical data? Data that happens until we get this fixed will be an issue, but at least it'll be forwarding to his phone right now. Is it definitely gonna work? You want to try a different number first? I can, but it's still gonna take it out of Fortnite. If I save it to a different number, not necessarily his number. No, but I'm just saying, like, do you want to try it with a different number though, instead of just pulling these numbers? Like, just to confirm. Like, I can add a number in his account. Oh. Pointing to the same number, right? Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah. Hey, all right, cool. I just called the 855 number. Sorry about that. No, no, totally understandable. Yeah, the voicemail detection, that's— we have someone else that's waiting for that too. I'll let you know. That's really high on our radar. What was he just saying? Would be awesome, like just being able to— No, he wants to do the automation, but he wants to do voicemail detection. He needs that. We have another guy. We have a bunch of people that want voicemail detection. But then was he also saying he wants to like then be able to like set their message back and forth with them from the platform? I don't really hear what he's saying. Yeah, like be able to message, like messaging. Messages through the platform. How'd it go, fellas? Kind of fixed it. Dude, he was probably thinking he needed to add it through the left dropdown. Oh boy. PhoneWagon is beautiful, simple call tracking software. It's beautiful, simple call tracking software. We help businesses and agencies attribute phone calls back to marketing campaigns so they know which What marketing campaigns are driving phone calls? Okay, so you've run like 3 campaigns. Yes, you run Facebook ads, Google AdWords, yes, uh, other one. Viewing pleasure, prove I'm an actual human, here's a picture of me at my friend's wedding. What? For your viewing pleasure? You must have just really liked that picture of you. I did like it, I'm not gonna lie, I liked it. You're like, I'm gonna send this picture of myself to all of my customers. To my 40 customers. Click like add number, search by area code, will show you a bunch of available numbers, grab one, configure it, add the campaign name. Like I operate like a, like I don't even know what I'm saying. I'm just like a robot. Yeah, you're just like a robot, man. If this number or this number, then swap them both, right? Swap them out, yeah. So both of these numbers would just swap out with two numbers from the same pool? From the same. I guess that would be— How about you, Mike? What are you doing? This here laptop. I'm doing research. Yep. That's what I'll say. How about you, Ryan? What are you doing? Snapchatting. Who you Snapchatting? I'm just looking at stories. So Ryan, you haven't told the vlog yet. I'm telling tomorrow, but what's up? Where you going? Guys? Sorry. No, no, I wasn't saying guys.
Are you talking to me?
No.
I wanna be in a video with you. I wanna be like the new customer. Like a bull wagon because— can I tell them how excited I am about Callwagon? It has just released this amazing headache from my brain. I can't even tell you because I had all these calls coming in, I had no idea what channel they were calling from, and now I can actually use my specific number and see exactly if it's generating leads and how many for my company and even check how well my employees are doing on customer service. It's totally like revolutionized the possibilities for Cottage Class.
So then you can stop spending money on stuff that doesn't what doesn't work and only spend money on areas that is actually generating phone calls that turn into sales.
Exactly, and like every week I get so stressed out about my KPIs. I just don't even know like how many leads I have, where they're coming from, what's working, what's not, but now I can see exactly where they're coming from so I know to optimize that channel and just let it grow and grow and grow until my business takes over the entire world.
That's what we're here for. We're here to save lives and help your business take over the world. The way it works, you know, so not that I don't want you to like deviate and get creative. Digital agencies, so these guys are like in offices and they like manage PPC campaigns, so they're like a little bit softer, you know, they're like not in like underneath of a car like doing a little bit of maintenance. Alright, who's that? It's Jim. He just hopped on the wagon. Jim? Jim. Jim. He's our latest and greatest. You can't just say Jim, man. I don't want to say anything right now. Don't put this on there. Why? We only have like 3 customers. We're at like 76, man. 80. 80? We just hit 80. Yo, what's the MRR on him? He likes— oh, he didn't send you his. 7— 7264.
