Three ways to implement:
What it does: When a customer email arrives, AI classifies it (billing/support/sales/complaint), drafts a response using your tone, and either auto-sends (if confidence >80%) or routes to human review.
Setup Steps:
What it does: Automated reminders: Day 3 (friendly), Day 10 (second nudge), Day 21 (firm with late fee), Day 30 (escalation). No awkward phone calls.
What it does: Template library by job type. AI pulls the right template, pre-fills client info, you review and send.
What it does: Every Monday 7 AM: AI pulls data from your tools (projects, revenue, invoices, tasks) and generates a one-page report.
What it does: Monitors tasks. If follow-up hasn't happened in 3 days, auto-escalates to you. Prevents the $15K job that slips through cracks.
What it does: 80% of sales happen after the 5th follow-up, but 44% of salespeople give up after 1. Automated nurture sequences: Day 1 (thanks), Day 3 (value add), Day 7 (case study), Day 14 (check-in), Day 30 (breakup).
What it does: When a job is assigned, tech gets automatic SMS with address, job type, client history. Schedule changes? They get updated instantly. No more "where am I going again?" calls.
What it does: New Google/Yelp review arrives → AI drafts a personalized response (thank positive, address negative) → you approve → posted. Never ignore a review again.
What it does: Monitors inventory levels. When item drops below threshold, auto-orders from supplier OR sends you a Slack alert. Never run out of critical parts mid-job.
What it does: New lead comes in → AI scores based on budget, timeline, fit → high scores get instant call, low scores get nurture sequence. Stop wasting time on tire-kickers.
