What if I get the trial and decide it's NOT for me?

Since it is a 7-day free trial — there is no risk whatsoever! If you decide you aren't obsessed with BOOST, just hit cancel and you're done. Although, we promise you won't be disappointed!

What's the cancellation policy AFTER the free trial?

We believe in freedom of choice. Just as customers choose you, we want you to willingly choose us. We have no contracts or commitments. If you ever need to part ways, it's a simple few clicks to cancel. But fair warning — once you experience BOOST, you might just want to stay for the long haul!

I'm ready — what happens after I subscribe?

Once you decide to start the trial, we'll take you through the step-by-step process below:

1. Checkout: After you click the blue button above, you will be guided to checkout where you'll select the plan of your choice for the 7-day free trial. Nothing will be charged today.

2. Choose Onboarding Path: You'll be taken to a page where you can choose your Onboarding Path. Your choices are (1) Standard at no additional charge or (2) Done-For-You (DFY) which you can select for an extra charge and you'll also complete an intake questionnaire. Note, you'll get a detailed explanation of these options when you get to that page.

3. Schedule Onboarding Call: You'll be taken to a page where you can select the best date and time for your Onboarding Call. Look out for an email and make sure to add it to your calendar.

4. Login: By the time you're done with the steps above, look for an email with your login details. Go ahead and get logged in!

5. Start Setup With LaunchPad: Choose "Launchpad" from the menu, where you can begin connecting your accounts and begin getting familiar with the system. You'll be able to start using basic functions of the system immediately.

6. Attend Onboarding Call: During your Onboarding Call, we'll guide you through everything that needs to be done to set up your system. If you need more help, you can join the Onboarding Calls as often as you like.

7. Grow And Transform Your Business: Once you see the power of BOOST, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

Is it easy enough to do it myself?

Yes! You can certainly get started with "Launchpad". This is enough to begin using the basic functions of the system immediately. It's highly intuitive, so you may even want to jump right into the Settings and take it all the way yourself.

HOWEVER, we do recommend completing your Onboarding Call so that we fill in the gaps and make sure that everything is setup correctly. Once you complete your 90-minute Onboarding Call — you'll be good to go.

Plus you can always re-join that call as often as you like!

If you opt for Standard Onboarding (at no additional charge) — and later decide you'd like us to do it for you, we can certainly do that too.

I'm not tech savvy (or don't have time). Can someone do it for me?

Yes! There's no need to be a tech guru; we've got options tailored just for you. Right after checkout, you'll get to "Choose Your Onboarding Path". We crafted a special 'DONE-FOR-YOU' option for businesses who might be tech-shy, short on time, or simply prefer a hands-off approach. It's an extra one-time fee of $800, but it's entirely up to you.

What should I do with my existing email/CRM?

It is up to you... BOOST is a fully integrated, all-in-one business system. Ultimately, you'd want to consolidate your existing email and CRM system into BOOST to get the most impact. Don't worry though, we can help migrate if you need it!

How do I CONNECT my existing website to BOOST?

You can continue using your existing website, so don't worry about the investment that you've made there.

During Onboarding, we'll walk you through how to connect the CHAT WIDGET and update your website CONTACT US form so it all feeds into BOOST. (Our Done-For-You Setup will integrate this for you.)

Should/Can I MOVE my existing website into BOOST?

There are a few ways to move (or connect) your existing website into BOOST. And don't worry about how to do this — we'll be there to help.

1. If you already have a WORDPRESS website, you'll find an option to move your website into BOOST. Just click the button and follow the steps... and voila! Everything will seamlessly switch over in the background. You won't have to go logging into other systems to get to it. It will all be right there at your fingertips.

2. If you have a SHOPIFY website, you can simply connect it to BOOST. There is no need to move your e-commerce site. However, if you wanted to move off of Shopify — you could certainly offer an e-commerce platform within BOOST.

What if I want a NEW website?

If you don't have a website, you can build one through the Website builder using templates or from scratch. (Or we can build one for you as part of the DONE-FOR-YOU services.)

Note, this is NOT a Wordpress website. It is a fully-customizable template-based website, similar to GoDaddy's template websites. While the cost is a fraction of a Wordpress website, you cannot move these websites.

I already have a website domain name. Will I lose control of that?

1. WE WILL NEVER OWN OR CONTROL YOUR DOMAIN. That is the intellectual property of you and your business. No marketing firm should ever have ownership of your domain. If you have an issue with this, we would be happy to help you get it back. (We've helped many others gain control of their domain names.)

2. HOWEVER, we do need to CONNECT/POINT your domain to BOOST. This is so that your email will show your domain name as well as your website and/or landing pages. We can either point the entire domain name or sub-domain such as (go.yourdomain.com).

We'll show you how to do this during Onboarding. And again, our Support Team is happy to help if you get stuck.

Can I do lead generation from BOOST?

We focus on ORGANIC Lead Generation and partner with marketing firms that specialize in PAID Lead Generation.

Before spending money on lead generation, it is important to have the systems in place to capture, qualify and convert those leads into customers. Without having this in place with at least a foundational online presence, your paid advertising spend may be disappointing with a a low return on investment.

ORGANIC LEAD GENERATION (This is where we shine!)

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps drive rank. If you're on a budget, you can get listed on about 100 directories in BOOST by subscribing to Yext. This also includes all of the voice directories, such as Siri and Google Assistant. (If you get Yext direct, it is about $85/month whereas it is $55/month in BOOST.) If you have a budget to work with, we offer managed SEO services by our amazing team of SEO specialists starting at $550/month.

• Use social posting to drive brand awareness. Right from BOOST, you can manage all of your social media posting and audience engagement. Use BOOST AI to create your posts and publish them, or buy our Social 20-pack for professionally designed posts with copywriting. Create once and post to all of your social channels right inside BOOST!

• Point traffic from your website, social media, content creation, networking, QR codes, email signature, etc. Use your BOOST Funnel as the main action point to direct your traffic where you can promote an enticing offer, ask questions with a form or survey, and get them to book a call in your calendar.

• "Mine" your existing customer database with reactivation and referral campaigns. When businesses haven't had a tool to engage their current customer-base, they often forget about the goldmine they're sitting on. Start a reactivation email/sms campaign to get them thinking about you again and/or asking them for referrals!

PAID LEAD GENERATION (This is where we partner!)

Ads can be pricey because they are tailored for bottom-of-funnel conversions — so leverage this approach AFTER you've gotten everything else up and running. Ask us for a referral to one of our lead gen marketing partners or contact your own lead gen marketing partner who can guide you.

Since we are about empowering small businesses, soon we may offer DIY ads through BOOST. This will be similar to Social Planner where you can post your own social media.

Are there any other costs that I need to be aware of?

In addition to your licensing subscription, there are a few Third-Party costs:

• Recurring Phone/SMS Charges - Your monthly Twilio charges depend on usage, however for about $10 you can make 475 calls, receive 780 calls or text 840 segments. It is setup inside your account and auto-replenished based on an amount set by you.

How secure is the system and my data?

Our platform security framework is developed using best practices for the industry:

1. Data Compliance: Customers are responsible for ensuring they only capture appropriate information to support their business. The system should not be used to collect or store sensitive information such as credit or debit card information, social security numbers or other sensitive data except as otherwise permitted with HIPAA or GDPR compliance.

2. Data Protection: Data is assigned to individual customer accounts and is never co-mingled or shared between customer accounts.

3. System Availability: Our platform is hosted in the United States on leading cloud infrastructure providers such as Google Cloud Platform Services and Amazon Web Services with a 99.5% or greater system uptime.

4. Backups: System backups occur on a regular basis with 7 days' of backups kept for restoration in the event of failure. Customers do not have access to these backups and can use the recycle bin to directly recover and restore up to 30 days after deletion. In other cases, version history can be used to restore, data can be exported or synchronized with other systems.

5. Data Retention and Deletion: Customer data is retained for as long as you are an active customer. Written requests can be made to have certain data deleted. Customers are not currently able to define custom data retention policies.
