What to test

  • Create realistic contacts
  • Build one sales pipeline
  • Create one lead-capture form
  • Build one simple workflow
  • Book a real test appointment
  • Test email and SMS behavior
  • Check missed-call handling if relevant
  • Test review-request flow
  • Evaluate staff usability
  • Calculate real total cost

What not to do

Do not spend the trial building every possible automation or migrating all production data. Prove one complete real-world workflow first.
