Inbounds

Nobody should find out the price after the call.

Live inbound calls, bought one at a time. You arm for a campaign, you wait, and the line comes to you — priced by a ladder of talk-time rungs you can read before you arm, in credits, from a balance you topped up yourself.

Runs at inbounds.virtualcloser.com, and is switched on with Leads Marketplace.

The one control. Press it to go into the pool, press it again to come out. Above the campaign card is its ladder — and on the live call, the next rung and what it will cost, named before it bills.

What is in it

7 parts, and you get all of them.

There is no list

This is the third way to dial and the only one with nothing to work through. You arm for a campaign and wait; the call arrives already connected to a person who rang us. Nothing here queues, and nothing here needs a lead to exist first.

A ladder, printed before you arm

Each campaign prices talk time in rungs — a price at connect, another at thirty seconds, another at two minutes, set per campaign by whoever runs it. A call that ends early can cost nothing at all; the price rises only as the call earns it. The ladder is on the campaign card before you arm, and again on the live call with the next rung and what it will cost named in advance.

The number is withheld until the call is billable

Below the billing rung you get a first name, a state, what they are after and the last two digits of the number. The rung that bills is the same rung that unlocks the record — so you cannot be charged for a contact you were never given, and a call that never earned its rung stays a first name and a state permanently.

Your licences, and nothing outside them

You only ever take calls in states you are verified in, and it is absolute in the other direction too: a caller whose state we cannot establish is routed to nobody rather than to whoever is free. A campaign's state list is a narrowing of your own licences, never an extension of them.

The guardrails are yours to set

A minimum balance before you can arm at all, a daily cap on how much you will spend, market hours and market days in your own timezone, and one control that arms and disarms the lot. The cap and the float exist so that the answer to “how much can today cost me” is a number you chose.

Take rate is the whole quality mechanism

Every campaign has a take-rate floor and an allowance of grace calls. Sit below the floor once your grace is used up and you lose access to that campaign. There is no other quality system and there does not need to be one — and while you are inside grace you are ranked at the pool median rather than at zero, so a slow first day is not a last day.

You know what you are getting before you answer

Calls arrive at one of three levels of qualification, named on the screen: No info — they dialled in and nothing is known yet; 3 points — name, state and what they want, collected before the handoff; Full form — the Insurability Form completed before transfer. The level is part of the offer, not a surprise.

Worth knowing

No price per call is published here, and that is deliberate.

Rungs are set per campaign by whoever runs it, so any number printed on this page would be out of date the first time one moved — and a marketing page that gets ahead of billing is exactly how somebody ends up surprised by a charge. What is fixed is the shape: you see the ladder before you arm, you see the next rung during the call, you spend from inbound credits you moved across yourself, and you set the daily cap. Inbounds runs at inbounds.virtualcloser.com and is switched on for a Leads Marketplace account — the same account, a different purchase: buying records and buying a ringing phone have nothing in common but the wallet.
