The five objections every prospect raises before they wire a number to a missed-lead system.

No. Every script is fully editable: agents tune the SMS in the agents script editor, freelancers tune the proposal voice in the freelancer pipeline, dealers tune the trade-in reply in the dealers inbox. The bot ships in Steadyhand voice by default and is rewritten in your trade’s voice before launch.

Steadyhand only replies to consent-traffic — it never cold-texts. The STOP keyword (and every standard opt-out keyword) ends the thread the same minute it lands. For EU traffic, an opt-in / consent line ships inside the same per-vertical editor, so GDPR's first-touch disclosure lives in your message rather than bolted on downstream.

A CRM stores the lead. Steadyhand acts on it — it drafts the first reply, qualifies the buyer, hands the warm lead to your calendar — and your existing CRM stays the source of truth on the booking and the deal. BDC sits on top of the dealer’s existing tools, not next to them.

Two safeguards. The bot only books after the lead qualifies on the two real-intent questions (pre-approval + close for agents, vehicle + appointment window for dealers), and the calendar-handoff toggle ships OFF per lead class — you flip it on once you trust the script. A wrong booking lands in your calendar with the full transcript attached, so the cancel is one tap.
