Service Limits
- We operate this service at no cost — and agents love it! To ensure that we’re able to serve all agents, we have a maximum annual limit of 50 free support requests (we start counting on Jan 1).
- You will be notified by Spark upon reaching 45 support requests.
- You will have the option to add another batch of 10 support requests for $300.
- You cannot buy partial support requests, such as purchasing 5 for $150; however, you may purchase in increments of 10 (e.g. 50 for $1,500).
- Note: If a client calls Spark and the issue cannot be resolved on the phone and requires a follow-up, we will create a support request that counts towards your 50-limit balance.
- If the issue can be resolved on the phone, we do not count the support request regardless of the length of the call.
