{"faqs":[{"answer":"You define the qualification rules during setup — specific keywords, client tiers, issue types, or custom logic. The AI follows your exact escalation matrix: true emergencies route immediately to your on-call tech via call or SMS; routine requests get captured, qualified, and booked into your calendar for next business day.","question":"How does CallMyLeads distinguish between a true IT emergency and a routine request after hours?"},{"answer":"CallMyLeads integrates with your existing CRM and calendar. Qualified leads flow in with full context: source, qualification score, caller details, and booking status. Your data stays in your system; we don't replace your PSA.","question":"Can CallMyLeads integrate with ConnectWise, Autotask, or our custom PSA?"},{"answer":"CallMyLeads offers HIPAA-aligned configuration for healthcare and medical clients. We use approved scripts only — no diagnosis or treatment advice. Consent is collected explicitly in the booking flow. All texting is A2P 10DLC registered and opt-out is honored automatically.","question":"What happens if a client calls with a HIPAA-sensitive issue after hours?"},{"answer":"Typically 3-5 business days after the free 15-minute scoping call. We connect your lead sources, deploy your approved scripts and routing logic, test with real calls, and integrate with your CRM and calendar. No long implementation cycles — you set the rules, we build the system.","question":"How fast can we go live if we need after-hours coverage by next month?"},{"answer":"A night dispatcher costs $40K-$60K/year plus benefits and still misses calls during breaks. Traditional answering services take messages — they don't qualify, book, or sync to your calendar. CallMyLeads answers every call 24/7/365, qualifies by your rules, books appointments, and syncs to your CRM and calendar for a fraction of one salary — with zero voicemail.","question":"Why not just hire a night-shift dispatcher or use an answering service?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect & Configure","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Free 15-minute scoping call.
