Give each club its own membership rules

A member asking for a freeze needs to know which plan they hold, when the change takes effect and what happens to their next payment. Configure HeroDash fields for home club, membership tier, requested start date and billing-review status. Group freeze requests separately from cancellations, class enquiries and disputed charges, so each reaches the staff responsible for that decision.

Prepare a practice set for your reception team using your own club rules: a freeze just before renewal, a full class with a waitlist, and a disputed charge. Have the agent name the policy used, the next account action and its owner. Use the results to update the desk instructions before handling that journey for members. This is a proposed training exercise for your clubs.

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is US$0.15 per minute and web chat is US$0.15 per session. Live agents start at US$650 per month including 1,500 minutes — about US$0.43 per minute — or from US$5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

Can one support team cover clubs with different rules?

Yes, the intake and routing can distinguish locations. Supply each club’s current plan rules, calendars and escalation contacts, then test the location match before launch. Any booking or account-change access must be set up for the systems used by that club.

What should a member receive after a freeze request?

Explain the requested dates, any applicable fee from the club’s policy, the next billing treatment and how the change will be confirmed. Record the account result after the authorized action so a request is not mistaken for a completed change.
