Start with revenue leaks

Prioritize automations that touch revenue: answer missed calls, qualify leads, book estimates, follow up on quotes, confirm appointments, and request reviews.

Avoid random automation

Do not automate every task just because the tool can. Automate the handoffs where leads, customers, or jobs are being lost.

Build around the CRM

AI should update the CRM, create tasks, record outcomes, and make the next human step obvious.
