Inside the playbook

Written for owners who haven't had time to make AI stick

Plain English, no jargon, and every idea works with tools you can open today. Most owners have tried AI, got a few clever answers, and gone back to doing everything by hand. This shows you how to give it real jobs.

  1. 1

    Why AI attempts stall

    The four reasons most owners give up, and how to avoid them

  2. 2

    Never let an enquiry go cold

    An AI follow-up system and a CRM that chases itself

  4. 4

    Meta ads with AI

    Better ads, cheaper enquiries and numbers you can trust

  5. 5

    AI for quotes, jobs and projects

    Faster quotes and profit per job while the job is live

    Simple rules so AI does the legwork and you make the decisions

  7. 7

    Your 30-day plan

    Week by week, about two hours a week

Chapter 3, in short

Never let an enquiry go cold

The business that replies first, and keeps following up politely, wins more of the work. The playbook shows you how to make both automatic.

  1. Enquiry arrives

    From your website, Facebook, a call or a directory

  2. Instant reply

    A text and email within a minute, confirming the next step

    You approve the wording
  3. Into the CRM

    One record per customer, with the source and the job

  4. Book the visit

    The customer picks a slot that suits your diary

  5. Quote and chase

    Polite follow-ups on set days until a yes or a no

Nothing goes out unread

AI drafts, a person sends, at least until you trust a particular job completely.

Money needs your yes

No ad budget, discount or order change without a person approving it, within a limit you set.

One record

One system for customers, jobs and money, so you, your team and the AI work from the same facts.

Built in East Sussex, for UK trades

We built our AI system first to run our own installation business in Hailsham. It worked, so now we set it up for other trades and construction firms. The playbook is everything we learned that you can do yourself.

Less admin. More jobs.
