01 · START HERE

Sell the right next step.

Pladigi provides digital marketing, development, and systems for small businesses. We connect five layers: rank, capture, position, social, and systems.

“We help small businesses improve how customers find them, understand their offer, and take the next step. First, I’d like to understand what is working and where you want to grow.”
A coaching example, not a required script

Adapt the language to the business. Cold outreach should earn a meeting. A discovery or proposal call should diagnose the need and agree on an appropriate next step.

Your job

Understand the goal, confirm the gap, explain a relevant solution, and document the next step.

Know when to pause

If scope, budget, decision-makers, or required access are unclear, arrange a scope review. Do not fill the gaps with promises.

Use plain language

Say “the Pladigi CRM platform” to clients. Explain the business benefit before introducing a technical term.

02 · THE CALL GUIDE

Six steps for a useful sales conversation.

For discovery and proposal calls. Ask, listen, reflect, and recommend. Use the prompts naturally rather than reading every question.

  1. 1

    Open with the goal

    “What would you most like to improve in the business? What made this a priority now?”

    Confirm the purpose of the meeting and who is involved in the decision.

    Record: Business goal, urgency, and decision-makers.

  2. 2

    Understand the current process

    “Where do customers come from today? What happens after someone contacts you? What have you tried?”

    Ask what is working before looking for a gap. Clarify budget, existing agency responsibilities, and customer type. A business selling to clinics may need a different approach from a local consumer service.

    Record: Current channels, providers, budget, follow-up process, and obstacles.

  3. 3

    Reflect and verify

    “You want more qualified appointments. The main gap seems to be turning inquiries into booked visits. Have I understood that correctly?”

    Use the prospect’s actual goal. Separate observed facts from assumptions. If you have not checked something, say it is the first thing you would investigate.

    Record: Agreed problem, evidence, and baseline if available.

  4. 4

    Recommend a focused plan

    “Based on that gap, I suggest we review these two or three actions and decide how to measure progress.”

    Connect each proposed action to the problem. Explain who would do the work and what success would mean. Example actions are not confirmed package inclusions.

    Record: Proposed actions, responsibilities, measure, and items needing scope approval.

  5. 5

    Explain the price and boundaries

    “Local Foundation is $1,702 per month. We need to confirm the written scope and any separate costs before you decide.”

    Use the current pricing below and recommend a package only when its approved scope fits. Explain media spend separately from management fees. Confirm unresolved terms with the team.

    Record: Package discussed, monthly fee, separate costs, and unresolved terms.

  6. 6

    Agree on one next step

    “Shall we review the written scope with everyone involved on Thursday? I’ll confirm the time and agreed channel.”

    If scope and terms are ready, follow the agreement and payment process. Onboarding scheduling begins immediately after payment. If not ready, arrange the scope review. Confirm the owner, action, date, and channel, then end the call.

    Record: Next action and owner, date, channel, agreement status, and payment status.

03 · PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE

Five layers. One business goal.

Open each layer for a plain-language explanation and a discovery question. These describe capabilities, not guaranteed package inclusions.

Rank · Get foundSearch visibility, useful content, and Google Business Profile work.

What it means: Help customers discover a business when they search for relevant services.

Ask: “Which services and locations do you want customers to find you for?”

Example use: Review the business profile and service pages for accuracy and useful information.

Confirm before promising: Approved pages, locations, work, and measurement. Never promise a search position or a result by a set date.

Capture · Make contact easierWebsites, forms, and clear paths to an inquiry.

What it means: Help an interested visitor understand how to contact the business or request the next step.

Ask: “What should someone do on your website, and what happens when they submit a request?”

Example use: Review a confusing contact form and the path from inquiry to appointment.

Confirm before promising: Site changes, forms, tracking, integrations, permissions, and responsibility for responses.

Position · Make the value clearA clear offer and reasons to choose the business.

What it means: Explain who the business serves, what it does, and why it is relevant to the customer.

Ask: “Why do customers choose you? What do they misunderstand about your service?”

Example use: Clarify a service page with specific benefits and approved evidence.

Confirm before promising: Approved messaging and substantiated claims. Do not invent reviews, credentials, or results.

Social · Stay visibleOrganic content and, when approved, paid social activity.

What it means: Organic posts build a presence without paying for each placement. Paid ads use a separate advertising budget to reach an audience.

Ask: “Which audiences do you want to reach, and who creates and approves content today?”

Example use: Plan content around common customer questions.

Confirm before promising: Platforms, deliverables, frequency, organic versus paid scope, approvals, and media budget. These details are not yet confirmed for the current offer.

Systems · Keep the follow-up organizedThe Pladigi CRM platform and agreed workflows.

What it means: A CRM is a place to organize customer information, conversations, and sales follow-up. Pladigi reports using GoHighLevel.

Ask: “Who follows up, how do they know what is next, and where is progress recorded?”

Example use: Track an inquiry, assign an owner, and record an agreed follow-up.

Confirm before promising: Required channels, integrations, automations, permissions, and package inclusions. Do not promise every system connects automatically.

Paid search is another capability: Google Ads management helps run paid search campaigns. It does not guarantee calls or sales. Use the fee rules below and confirm campaign scope before quoting.

04 · CURRENT PRICING

Current prices. Scope to confirm.

Prices updated September 29, 2026. Use these prices for new proposals. They do not change existing agreements.

Local Foundation

$1,702 / month

Confirm inclusions before recommending it.

Growth

$4,237 / month

Price does not define deliverables. Check the written scope.

Market Domination

$5,247 / month

Price confirmed September 29, 2026. Confirm inclusions and written scope before recommending it.

Standalone social media

$750 / month

Ad spend excluded. Organic and/or paid management scope awaits final confirmation.

Google Ads management

Base fee + 10%

The 10% is calculated on ad spend. The client pays media spend directly. The base fee is not confirmed.

Before you quote:

Confirm scope, deliverables, platforms, frequency, annual terms, and any additional fees. Do not invent discounts, minimum terms, cancellation policies, or guarantees. There are no ranking or dated-results guarantees.

“The confirmed Local Foundation price is $1,702 per month. Before I ask you to decide, let’s confirm in writing what is included, what costs extra, and the terms.”

Google Ads example: with $1,000 in ad spend, the variable management charge would be $100, plus the base fee still to be confirmed. The $1,000 media budget is separate. This illustrates the calculation; it is not a quote.

05 · OBJECTIONS & BOUNDARIES

Clarify the concern before answering.

Acknowledge the concern, ask a useful question, and respond with what you know. An objection is information, not a reason to pressure someone.

“We already have an agency.”

“What is working well, and what still needs attention?” Clarify responsibilities and gaps before suggesting additional work. Avoid duplicate services or claims that the other provider is harming rankings.

“That costs too much.”

“Is the concern the budget, the scope, or whether the value is clear?” Revisit the agreed need and approved scope. Do not invent a discount or a return-on-investment number.

“Can you guarantee results?”

Explain the agreed work and how progress will be reviewed. Do not guarantee rankings, a number of customers, or a result by a certain date. Ask the team to confirm any contractual assurance in writing.

“I need to think about it.”

“What information would help you decide?” Offer a relevant scope review or decision-maker meeting. Agree on a follow-up only if they want one.

“What exactly is included?”

Show the approved written scope. If an inclusion is unconfirmed, say so and arrange confirmation before the customer decides.

Keep these boundaries clear

  • Never reuse retired package names or historical prices for a new proposal.
  • Do not invent package inclusions, annual terms, cancellation rules, timelines, discounts, or guarantees.
  • Do not use unverified missed-call percentages, predictive buyer scores, or invented ROI as proof.
  • Use customer-approved evidence. A sales-call anecdote is not proof of a result.

06 · AFTER THE CALL

Make the handoff usable.

Record the facts in the Pladigi CRM platform. Separate confirmed commitments from questions that still need an answer.

  • Business and contact details; decision-makers and their roles.
  • Customer goal, agreed gap, supporting evidence, and current baseline.
  • Proposed or approved scope, package, price, separate costs, and open terms.
  • Current providers, needed permissions, account access, and other dependencies.
  • Next action, owner, agreed date and channel.
  • Agreement and payment status. Interest is not a paid sale. Schedule onboarding immediately after payment.

Measure the right outcome

A website visit is not a qualified inquiry. An inquiry is not an appointment. An appointment is not a paying customer. Agree which outcome matters and how it will be counted. Pladigi’s reported delivery includes in-house services and monthly reporting; confirm the specific scope and reporting measures.

07 · CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Can you explain it without guessing?

Answer aloud before opening each answer. Use these in a manager-led role-play.

A prospect asks whether Growth includes daily posts. What do you say?

Expected approach: Growth is $4,237 per month. Daily posts are not a confirmed inclusion. Verify the written scope, platforms, and frequency before promising them.

A customer plans $1,000 in Google ad spend. What is the management fee?

Expected approach: The variable part is $100, plus a base fee that still needs confirmation. The customer pays the $1,000 media spend directly. You cannot give a complete quote without the base fee.

A prospect has traffic but few appointments. Where do you start?

Expected approach: Ask how inquiries are captured and followed up. Check the evidence and baseline before assuming more traffic is the solution.

A prospect says yes on the call. Is that a paid sale?

Expected approach: No. Record agreement and payment status separately. Confirm the next action, and begin onboarding scheduling immediately after payment.

A prospect asks for first-page rankings in 30 days. What do you say?

Expected approach: Do not promise rankings or dated results. Explain the proposed work, agreed measures, and review process.

Ready for a supervised call when you can explain the five layers, ask discovery questions, quote current prices with the right boundaries, and complete a clear handoff. Review missed answers with your manager.
