Pipeline Recovery for Metal & Machining

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Worqd integrates directly with your current CRM — no platform switch or data migration required. The AI SDR accesses your dormant contacts, reaches out via email and SMS, qualifies interest in under 60 seconds, and books qualified calls directly on your team's calendar using your availability rules and routing logic.","question":"How does Worqd's Pipeline Recovery work with our existing CRM for CNC machining leads?"},{"answer":"Yes. The AI SDR is trained on your specific offerings — custom CNC machining, 5-axis CNC machining, Swiss machining services, CNC milling services, CNC lathe turning — and follows your qualification criteria. Complex technical questions are flagged for immediate handoff to your team with full conversation context preserved.","question":"Can the AI SDR handle technical CNC machining inquiries about 5-axis capabilities or material specs?"},{"answer":"Outreach begins within days of CRM connection. Most shops see their first qualified conversations within the first 1-2 weeks. The AI SDR runs 24/7 including weekends, so dormant RFQs and past quote requests get immediate attention without waiting for business hours or sales rep availability.","question":"What's the typical timeline to see booked calls from old CNC machining contacts?"},{"answer":"Performance-based: you only pay for the qualified conversations that actually book onto your calendar. No seat licenses, no retainer for outreach volume, no monthly platform fees. Pricing is scoped on a free growth call based on your monthly marketing budget band and the size of your reactivatable database.","question":"How is pricing structured for Pipeline Recovery — per contact, per month, or per result?"},{"answer":"Unlike an inside sales rep, the AI SDR works 24/7 at 70-lower cost per qualified conversation with 4-7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up. Unlike fragmented agencies, Worqd runs the full path — creative, ads, outreach, and instant response — as one integrated partner with one plan, one report, and no vanity metrics.","question":"How does this differ from hiring an inside sales rep or using a generic marketing agency for our machine shop?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your CRM","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We integrate with your existing CRM — no platform switch, no data migration.
