Frequently asked questions
Should Squawker replace Smith.ai?
Not automatically. The right decision depends on whether the buyer needs a broader system of record, a phone suite, or a live conversation-to-revenue workflow.
What proof should buyers ask for?
Ask to see how a real conversation becomes a generated prospect or lead, how the CRM record is created, and how the pricing logic excludes noise.
