How 1 AI Workflow Replaced Our $14,000/Mo Sales Ops Retainer (Full Blueprint) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The exact workflow, prompts, stack, and where it broke. Copy it today.Last June, I did something most founders never do with an agency invoice. I read every single line.$14,000. For one month.Lead routing. CRM cleanup. Follow-up sequences. A weekly report I’m fairly sure nobody opened, including me.Then I found the line that bothered me. In their own report, the average time to first response on a new inbound lead was 6 hours 42 minutes.We were paying five figures a month to be slow.So we built
I Built a Dealer Lead Qualifier With AI. It's Yours Free. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A subscriber who runs outreach for car dealerships was spending hours every week reading lead notes by hand, deciding who was worth a callback. So I built a system that does it for him.

You have a commodity problem.And in the next 12-18 months, that’s going to kill most of the AI agencies that exist right now.The wrapper economy is collapsingEighteen months ago, “A
