The Pilot Offer Explained: Why We Offer 30 Days Free (And What We Ask in Return)

We don’t think you should pay for something you haven’t tried. Here’s what the pilot

is, and what we ask from you.

If you’ve looked at Trellis and thought “this seems too good to be free for 30 days,”

you’re not alone. It’s a fair question: what’s the catch?

Here’s the honest answer.

Why It’s Free

The pilot exists because we know that follow-up automation sounds easy in a demo

and feels complicated in practice. We want you to see it working in your business —

with your customers, your data, your workflows — before you commit to anything.

We can’t do that if you’re paying us before you see a result.

We also know that the people who run local service businesses — salons, dentists,

HVAC companies, med spas, auto shops — are sophisticated operators. They’ve

been sold software before that didn’t deliver. They’re skeptical. We want them to see

the value before they pull out a credit card.

The pilot isn’t a trick. It’s a belief that if the product works, you’ll want to stay.

What We Ask in Return

Here’s the part that people find surprising: we ask for a testimonial. Not a video. Not

a case study on our terms. A genuine account of your experience using Trellis —

what changed, what improved, what surprised you.

We ask this because we believe the best marketing for a product like this is a real

business owner’s honest experience. A customer saying “Trellis helped me recover

15 customers last month who would have otherwise drifted away” is worth more to

us than any ad we could run.If the pilot goes well and you see measurable results, we may also ask to feature

your story — with your permission, in your words — as a case study. This is not a

requirement. It’s an option for businesses who want to participate.

What the Testimonial Commitment Means

You are not obligated to provide a testimonial. If you use Trellis for 30 days and

don’t see value, you can walk away with no strings attached. We do not lock you into

contracts, charge cancellation fees, or require advance notice.

We ask because we genuinely believe most businesses will see enough value in 30

days to want to share the story. And we think that’s fair.

What You’re Actually Getting in the Pilot

Full access to Trellis’s AI follow-up system (Email, SMS, WhatsApp)

Setup configured for your business type and customer base

Personalized messaging based on real customer behavior data

15-language support from day one

A dedicated onboarding experience — we don’t just drop you in and wish you

luck

Access to results dashboards so you can track recovery rate, message

engagement, and customer retention changes

The goal of the pilot is simple: give you 30 days of data that answers the question

“does automated follow-up work for my business?”

The answer, in our experience, is almost always yes.

Try it with no risk.
