Talk to a person

We built a business on answering fast, so it would be a poor look if we didn't. Pick whichever of these suits you. All four reach a human, and the phone is answered by a person, not a queue.

Where we are

We are registered in South Africa and work with clients in the United States and elsewhere. Pricing is in US dollars. If where our team sits matters to you, ask on the first call and we will tell you plainly rather than dress it up.

What to expect when you call

Fifteen minutes, and we will spend most of it asking about your lead volume, how fast you currently reply, and how many touches a quote gets before you give up on it. If the honest answer is that you do not have enough volume to need us yet, we will say so on that call. We would rather you come back in six months than churn in three.

What happens after you get in touch

No sequence, no drip, no eleven emails from someone called Head of Growth. You get a reply from a person, usually the founder, and one question back: how many leads a month, and how fast do they currently get answered. Those two numbers decide whether there is anything to talk about.

1. Same day. A human reply, by whichever channel you used.
2. Fifteen minutes on a call. Mostly us asking, not pitching. Bring your lead volume, your average job value and a rough close rate if you have them.
3. A straight answer. Either this fits and we tell you what it would look like on your setup, or it does not and we tell you what to fix instead.
4. Nothing automated fires at you. If you go quiet, we follow up twice like a normal business and then leave you alone.

Questions we get before the first call

Do I have to move off my CRM?

No. The layer sits above whatever you already run and writes back to it. If you are happy with your CRM, keep it. If you do not have one, we can run bundled with one.

Will an AI call my customers?

Only the ones who called you first, or who filled in your form and asked to be contacted. We do not do AI outbound dialing to people who never raised a hand, and the voice always says it is automated. Outbound calling stays with your humans.

How long does setup take?

It depends on how tidy your lead sources are. The honest version is that the connection is the quick part and agreeing your qualifying questions is the slow part, because that is a sales conversation, not a technical one.

How small is too small?

Under roughly thirty leads a month, a saved text message and two fixed callback windows a day will beat any software. We will tell you that rather than take the money.

Can you help if my problem is the selling, not the speed?

That is the original trade. Bruce is a sales trainer, and call coaching from your own recordings is part of what we do. If your close rate on live conversations is the weak number, say so when you call and we will start there instead.

Complaints, data and opting out

If you want your data removed, email us and it happens, no retention argument. If you asked us to stop contacting you and we did not, reply STOP to any message or tell us on the phone and it is actioned the same day. Our data handling is set out on the privacy page and the data retention page.

Time zones, plainly

Our office hours are 08:00 to 17:00 South Africa time, which is 02:00 to 11:00 Eastern and 23:00 to 08:00 Pacific. That means a US morning email lands inside our afternoon and gets answered the same day, and a US afternoon call is best booked rather than dialed cold.

None of that applies to your own leads. The whole point of what we sell is that a lead arriving at 9pm in Denver gets answered in under a minute regardless of what time it is anywhere else. Our office hours govern how fast you reach us, not how fast your customers get reached.

If you want a live conversation inside US business hours, use the booking link and pick an afternoon slot Eastern. Bruce takes those personally.

What to have ready

• Leads a month, counting form fills, calls and referrals.
• Roughly how long it takes you to make first contact right now. A guess is fine, and if the honest answer is "sometimes the next day", say that.
• Your average job or deal value.
• What you currently use: CRM, phone system, whatever the form on your website posts into.

Four numbers, two minutes to gather, and they turn a vague conversation into a specific one. If you have none of them, come anyway and we will work them out together on the call.

Media, partnerships and agencies

Email hello@gostartr.com with "partnership" or "press" in the subject line and it will reach Bruce directly. White-label arrangements for agencies are a real thing we do, not a maybe.
