What happens when you fire your entire lead follow-up team... and hand the job to AI?
In this episode of The Growth Hack Podcast, host Marcus Slater—founder and CEO of AdCloud Agency and Slater Digital Group—shares the results of a bold 30-day experiment: letting AI take over 100% of lead follow-up across multiple locations. No human texts. No manual replies. Just automation from click to booked.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- How AI booked 73% of leads—with 62% of those after hours
- Why most businesses are leaving revenue on the table by relying on manual follow-up
- The surprising drop in lead quality complaints when humans stepped out
- Why consistency, speed, and scalability matter more than “personal touch”
- How to implement fully autonomous AI follow-up without sacrificing trust
If you're still chasing leads one message at a time, you're already behind. This episode is your roadmap to scalable, hands-free lead conversion.
