Questions

Honest answers. No sales spin.

Most of what people want to know about MarginMax can be answered without a call. Here are the 14 questions that come up most, starting with the price. If yours is not here, text the founder at (973) 222-8692 or book the free consultation.

The ones that come up most often.

01What does it cost?

Three things have a public price. The AI phone agent is $297 a month with 400 minutes included, then 30 cents a minute after that, plus a one-time setup that we quote for your shop once we know what it has to plug into. A one-page website is $199 and a full multi-page site is $499, with hosting at $20 a month including the yearly domain renewal, or $50 a month if you add the AI website chatbot, which covers hosting and the domain too.

Custom automations and custom app builds are priced to scope. You get one flat quote for the build after the consultation, not an hourly meter, and if you would rather we run the workflow than take it over, the monthly for that is quoted alongside it. No tiers, no bundles, no retainer for things you do not use.

02How long does it take to get up and running?

The phone agent is usually live within a couple of weeks, depending on what it has to plug into. Wiring it to a shared Google Calendar is faster than wiring it into a full field-service system. A one-page website is faster than that. Custom automations get a timeline with the quote, because the scope is different for every shop.

You hear the agent answer your own line before it ever goes live. We do not ship until it is right.

03Will this actually work for my business?

That is what the free consultation is for. We dig into your business, find where the calls and leads are leaking, and tell you the truth about whether what we build is a fit. If it is not, we say so on the call and point you in the right direction.

How the consultation works

04Do I have to fire anyone?

No. The whole point of MarginMax is the opposite. The big AI pitch is to raise margins by cutting the people who answer the phone. We think there is a better way. Your team is the heart of your business. We take the busywork off their plate so they can do the work they were hired for, and we catch the leads that were slipping past everyone. Same Staff. Same Heart. Better Systems. Better Results.

05What if I do not have any tech set up right now?

That is fine. Most of our clients start from a regular cell phone, a shared inbox, and a calendar app. We build around whatever you have. You do not need to learn new software or sign up for anything before the call.

06Will the AI sound robotic?

Only if it is set up by somebody who does not care. The agent is written on your services, your hours, and your rules, not a generic script, and it uses one of the more natural AI voices available. It also tells callers it is an AI if they ask. The honest answer is to call the demo line at (862) 420-0297 and judge for yourself.

07What happens after 400 minutes?

Past 400 minutes in a month, the agent bills 30 cents a minute. That rate is printed on the phone agent page and on the home page on purpose, so nothing on your statement is a number you have not already seen. 400 minutes works out to roughly 130 calls a month at about three minutes a call, which is more than most small shops use.

08Do I need your dashboard?

No. The agent plugs into the calendar and scheduling tools you already use. There is a dashboard showing calls, messages, and the calendar if you want one, and plenty of shops never open it. The agent works exactly the same either way.

09I already pay for a CRM or scheduling software. Do I have to switch?

No. The agent plugs into whatever CRM or scheduling software you already pay for. Calls, texts, and bookings land where your jobs already live, and nothing gets ripped out. If you do not have any software yet, we will help you pick something that fits, or the agent can run on a shared calendar and the optional dashboard.

10What if I want to cancel?

You are not locked into a long contract. Recurring services can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice, no penalty. If MarginMax is not working for you, we would rather you leave on good terms than stay frustrated. The specifics live in the service agreement we sign before any paid work begins.

11What happens to my information after I submit the form?

It goes to one person, the founder, and nobody else. We do not sell it, share it, or add you to a marketing list. If you do not end up working with us, we delete it on request.

12What is a MarginMax Consultation, really?

A free, honest look at your business. Thirty minutes with the founder, phone or video. We go through where your calls, leads, and follow-up are leaking, what is worth fixing first, and what it would cost. No slideshow, no pressure. You leave with a clearer picture and a written plan, whether you hire us or not.

13Who actually does the work?

Don. He writes every agent, builds every automation, runs every consultation, and is the one who picks up when something needs changing. No call center, no offshore build team, no junior account manager.

14What if my business is not in the trades?

The trades are where we started, but we work with a wider Main Street. Salons, barbershops, restaurants, bakeries, retail shops, and anyone whose phone is the front door of the business. If you run a real local business and the phone matters, book the consultation and we will tell you straight whether the agent fits.
