Everyone’s talking about AI. The FOMO is real, and, frankly, justified. Big companies are already cutting head-count and squeezing more output from smaller teams. If you don’t want to get left behind, here’s a simple playbook we’ve seen work for other businesses:
1. Accelerate content creation with AI video
Short-form clips dominate feeds; static carousels don't engage users anymore. With tools like Google Veo 3 you type a detailed prompt, scene, tone, angle, music, and, for about $3–$6, get an 8-second Reel or TikTok in minutes. Sharpen the prompt, tweak in Canva or CapCut, and publish. No camera crew, no fancy gear, just steady video content that keeps your brand in the scroll.
Keep in mind, the goal is to create content to keep your audience engage and grow so you start getting more traction from social media channels.
2. Automate customer intake with AI
Route every call, text, and chat form through a Zapier or n8n flow that drops the lead into your CRM. An AI step reads the message, tags intent and urgency, and fires the next action, quote, invoice, or welcome email, before a human touches the ticket. No copy-pasting, no lost details, just every lead moving forward in seconds.
3. Leverage an AI receptionist
Voicemail, and those "Dial 1 for sales, 2 for support" recordings, drive callers away. An AI receptionist answers in plain language 24/7, handles routine questions, gathers contact details, and passes urgent calls to the right person. Setup is as simple as forwarding your number, and the monthly cost is far lower than the revenue lost to missed or frustrated leads for most businesses. Pick a provider with natural-sounding voices and solid uptime, turn it on, and watch abandoned calls disappear.
