Founding design partner program
The founding design partner program: 3 spots, on real terms
We are taking on 3 design partners: businesses already spending on lead generation who want white-glove AI follow-up, and who will tell us every week what is working and what is not. You get the full system free for 30 days with founding pricing for life if you stay. We get the feedback that makes the product better. This is a partnership, not a free trial.
Applying starts as a call with our team: bring your numbers, we will talk it through honestly.
What is the program?
A selective, structured pilot with 3 businesses. We install AfterLead's full 24/7 appointment-setting system on your real lead flow: white-glove onboarding, CRM integration, and routing setup, live in about 1 to 2 weeks with around 3 hours of your time. It ends in a straightforward decision: if the numbers justify continuing, you convert at founding pricing; if they do not, you walk. See what the install involves.
What you get, and what we ask in return
The offer
- White-glove onboarding: we build, integrate, test, and tune the system for you
- CRM integration and routing setup on your existing stack
- First 30 days free
- Month two at 50 percent off, earned by completing the weekly feedback cadence
- Founding pricing for life if you convert: grandfathered as our pricing evolves
- Founder-level support and weekly optimization
What we ask in return
- A weekly 30-minute feedback call
- Access to review call logs, booking outcomes, and CRM stage progression
- A defined success metric and your baseline numbers before launch (contact rate, booking rate, no-show rate, response time)
- Minimum lead volume, in writing
- Permission to use anonymized performance data
- A testimonial or case study if we hit your goals
The system you get is the full product, not a lite version: voice, SMS, and email on every lead, in seconds, for 30 days, the same system our paying clients run. That exchange is the whole point. We are not collecting free users; we are buying the sharpest possible feedback with the best terms we will ever offer. How lead data is handled lives on our security page.
The bar to apply
This program only works with real lead volume, so the gate is firm: $3,000 or more per month in paid ad spend, or 100+ inbound leads per month. You should be on a supported CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Close, Zoho, ActiveCampaign, ServiceTitan, Jobber, or Housecall Pro), have a calendar and booking flow that already works, and have an owner or sales lead who will actually show up to the weekly call.
If that is not you yet, the demo form at the bottom of this page still works for everyone.
What the pilot covers (and what it does not)
Each partnership starts narrow on purpose: one primary CRM, one booking flow, one core workflow, done excellently, then expanded. Supported CRMs, supported lead sources, supported routing only. We will not promise open-ended custom builds or “we'll build anything into your CRM,” because that is how pilots die. Requests beyond scope go on the roadmap with your name on them.
How we pick the 3
We approve a pilot when it meets at least four of these:
- 100+ leads per month, or 20+ inbound calls per week
- A dedicated owner, GM, sales lead, or ops lead involved
- A clear lead source: Meta, Google, website forms, or inbound calls
- One primary CRM and one booking flow
- Calendar availability already operational
- Existing baseline metrics: missed calls, contact rate, booking rate, no-show rate
- Agreement to the weekly feedback cadence
- Willingness to start with one primary workflow
It is 3 spots because that is how many we can give founder-level attention. When they are filled, this page will say so. No countdown timers, no fake scarcity: just a small cohort, honestly capped.
The pilot ends in a decision, on purpose
Every design partnership has a hard checkpoint. After the free and discounted months, we sit down with your numbers against your baseline: response times, contact rate, booked appointments, shows. If the economics work, you convert at founding pricing, locked for life. If they do not, you leave with your data, your CRM intact, and our thanks. A pilot without a decision at the end is noise for both of us.
The program, in plain answers.
Including what happens if you run the pilot and walk.
Our guarantee
More booked calls than your current process, or your money back.
Because each one gets founder-level attention: weekly calls, direct tuning, and roadmap influence. Three is the number we can serve at that depth while the product hardens. When the spots fill, this page will say so honestly instead of pretending spots remain.
The full system, not a trial tier: white-glove install, CRM integration, AI voice agents plus our SMS and email agent on every lead, booking, reminders, no-show recovery, and human takeover. The first 30 days are free; month two is 50 percent off if you complete the weekly feedback cadence.
A go-or-no-go conversation against your baseline numbers. Convert, and you keep founding pricing for life. Walk, and you owe nothing further: your CRM data and lead history stay yours.
No hard feelings, honestly. A partner who runs real leads through the system, gives weekly feedback, and still declines teaches us something we need to know. That is the deal working as designed.
HubSpot, Pipedrive, Close, Zoho, ActiveCampaign, ServiceTitan, Jobber, and Housecall Pro, plus Google Calendar, Outlook, and Cal.com on the calendar side. If you run something else, apply anyway and we will tell you honestly whether the integration is supported.
Around 3 hours for the install (one onboarding call, testing the agent, a review call, launch), then a 30-minute feedback call each week. Your team does not run the system; ours does.
Only anonymized performance data, with your written permission, and a named testimonial or case study only if we hit the goals we set together and you agree. Lead-level data is never marketing material, and the security page covers how it is handled end to end.
Apply for a spot, or be a lead first.
The demo form texts, emails, and calls you in 8 seconds, which is exactly what your leads would get. When you are ready to talk terms, bring your numbers to the call.
- Opt out anytime
- We never sell your number or share it for marketing
- A real conversation, not a sales call
