About Virtual SAM

Your sales and marketing, connected

Built for business owners, executives, and marketing leaders, Virtual SAM connects the pieces that bring in business: your website, phone, inbox, calendar, contacts, and campaigns. Every lead is tracked in one system, and automations handle the follow-up you'd otherwise do by hand. You bring what you know about your customers, and our team turns it into a system that keeps working while your people focus on the work that needs them.

Virtual SAM adapts to how you work, whether you sell homes, run a service business, advise clients, or serve a mission. See how it fits your business

Questions

Questions and answers

What is speed to lead?

Speed to lead is how quickly you respond when someone reaches out. The faster you reply, the better your chances of turning that inquiry into a customer. Virtual SAM answers calls and follows up by text and email within minutes, even after hours.

How much does it cost?

Every business is different, so we start by learning what you need. After discovery, you'll get a clear plan with your investment and estimated monthly platform costs before anything is built.

What are usage charges?

Each call, text, and email costs a small amount, billed based on what you use. We'll estimate your usage during the design phase, so you'll know what to expect before anything goes live.

What happens after setup?

Once everything is running, we can keep watching over it and optimizing it for you, or hand it over to your team, with us available whenever you need help.

Do I need to be good with technology?

Not at all. We handle the setup, then walk your team through everything in plain language. We're here whenever you have questions.

Does Virtual SAM work with an existing marketing team?

Yes. Virtual SAM gives your team one place to manage calls, texts, emails, campaigns, and follow-up. Automation takes the repetitive tasks off their plate, so they can focus on strategy and creative work.

Can I keep my business phone number?

In many cases, yes. Our team takes care of the steps for you.

Who sets it up?

We do. Every Virtual SAM engagement is set up and managed by our team, with a strategist keeping an eye on everything. Book a time to chat and we'll talk it through.
