{"faqs":[{"answer":"Our AI SDRs and AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives — under 60 seconds, 24/7, including after-hours and weekends.

Pipeline Recovery and our back-office automation work with your existing CRM, helpdesk, phone, and document tools — no platform switch required. You keep your workflow; we plug into it and turn the contacts you already have back into booked calls.","question":"Can Worqd work with the CRM and estimating tools my collision center already uses?"},{"answer":"DRP relationships are about your repair quality and insurer agreements — our job is demand on top of that. We focus on bringing in qualified estimate requests for retail work like dent removal, scratch repair, and bumper repair, and we qualify every inquiry before it reaches your front counter so your team isn't chasing tire-kickers.","question":"We're on DRP programs with strict insurer requirements. Does that affect your marketing?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch; SEO compounds over months.
