Landscaping owner builds an AI receptionist that books estimates and only bothers her when a client is upset
Andrea Palacio bought a South Florida landscaping company that promptly lost 10 of its 12 staff and nearly half its revenue, leaving her working 80-hour weeks on booking, marketing and customer service.
