I believe experts should be experts, not task-jugglers. That's why I use AI and automation to free up 5-10 hours a week for service-based businesses. Less busywork, more genius work.

My passion lies in solving sales process challenges. If you're struggling to follow up with your leads, have a large client or lead database you haven't done anything with, or need to book more appointments, send me a DM with "AI Sales"
