_Voice: Agent_

## You

FAQ - Do I have to give you my customer list?

Answer (this house)

No.

Your people are yours. We do not need their names to help you write the answers you already give. We do not need their emails to open a door.

A list is permission they gave you. Handing it to a vendor so someone can “work it” is how trust turns into a campaign. We will not ask for that. We will not be safer if we have it.

If you choose to tell people the door exists, you tell them. One true sentence. Then stop. We do not mail them for you.

We will not require a spreadsheet to start. We will not upload your warm list into a machine and call it marketing.

The next step is the three questions — not the three thousand names.
