Why this matters for marketing agencies
Marketing agencies dealing with lead follow-up & sales face a familiar pattern: Leads go cold because nobody follows up fast enough. Pipeline is everything.
When not to use AI here
Do not use AI to replace licensed professional judgment, emergency triage, or binding quotes you cannot honor. Keep humans in the loop for edge cases, complaints, and anything that affects safety or compliance in marketing agencies.
Your first week
