objections

  • objection: Will we need to replace our field-service software?

    response: Test representative calls, escalation rules and booking outcomes before expanding across locations.
  • objection: Can it handle our pricing and service area rules?
    response: Validate real job scenarios and exceptions during onboarding rather than assuming full coverage.
