Every build starts with the same three layers: a company chief of staff, specialist agents from a catalog of 30, and personal chiefs of staff for the owners. The audit decides which desks a business gets. Here is what that looks like across six kinds of business.

What every build has in common

- Everything runs in your accounts and stays with you
- A morning brief, one approval queue, a live action log and a weekly report
The desk catalog: 30 specialist agents
Each desk owns one job, works inside your accounts and drafts for a person to approve. The audit picks the desks your business needs. Most builds use between five and twenty.
Sales and leads
- Lead reply desk. Answers every web, phone and chat lead in minutes, drafts the reply, books the next step.
- Appointment setting desk. Fills the calendar and confirms the day before.
- Missed-call text back desk. Texts within a minute of a missed call so the lead does not call the next business.
- Long-term follow-up desk. Keeps the leads who said “not yet” warm for weeks and months.
- Quote and estimate follow-up desk. Chases every open quote until it closes or dies.
- Repeat and referral desk. Treats past customers as a lead source: anniversaries, upgrades, referral asks.
Customer care
- Front desk. Hours, directions, availability and the questions you answer twenty times a day.
- Reminder and no-show desk. Confirms appointments, fills cancellations from the waitlist, rebooks no-shows.
- Status update desk. Tells customers where their order, job, vehicle or repair stands before they ask.
- Review request desk. Asks for the review at the right moment, only from happy customers.
- Review response desk. Drafts a reply to every review within a day, good or bad.
- Win-back desk. Reaches lapsed members, patients and customers with a reason to come back.
