Frequently Asked Questions
Most items can be completed in a single focused day. Panel setup takes 1–2 hours (including testing). Demo device setup takes 30–60 minutes. Spreadsheet creation takes 20 minutes. Knowledge preparation is ongoing but the basics can be covered in 1–2 hours of reading. Total realistic launch preparation: one focused weekend.
Testing your first line on your demo device before contacting any prospects. You need to personally experience the quality you are about to sell. A reseller who has seen the service working beautifully on a 4K TV during a live sports match has a confidence and enthusiasm in their pitch that no amount of reading can replicate.
The strict minimum: active panel with credits, credentials message template, and bank transfer details. Everything else on the list improves your professionalism and efficiency but the absolute bare minimum for your first client interaction is functional credentials and a way to collect payment.
Yes — standard WhatsApp works fine to start. WhatsApp Business becomes valuable once you have 20+ clients and want broadcast lists, quick replies, and business profile features. It is on the pre-launch checklist as a recommendation, not a hard requirement.
You are ready when you can create a client line, test it, send the credentials with a setup guide, and answer the top 10 client questions confidently. Everything else can be learned in the first few weeks of active operation. Perfection is not the goal — competent, confident, and ready to deliver excellent service to your first clients is the goal.
Conclusion
Completing this checklist before launching means you are prepared to deliver an excellent experience to your first client, not discovering your gaps in real-time during the sale. Launch with confidence, execute consistently, and build the client base that makes this business genuinely rewarding.
