You spend time and money to get the phone to ring. But if you don’t answer within minutes, that lead is gone—and they’re calling your competitor.

In this episode, Scott shares how AI Voice Agents and Conversation AI Chatbots can act as your 24/7 sales team, making sure you never miss another lead (even when you’re busy or off the clock).

You’ll learn:

✅ Why slow response times are killing your conversion rate

✅ How AI can answer calls, qualify leads, and even book appointments for you

✅ The difference between an old-school chatbot and a trained Conversation AI

✅ How to make AI sound like you so it still feels personal

✅ Why these tools cost far less than hiring staff—and never take a day off

If you’re tired of losing jobs because you couldn’t answer fast enough, this is the simplest way to fix it—and it works 24/7.

Quick win: Add a chatbot to your website that collects lead info instantly, even if you can’t respond right away.

Turn Your Google Business Profile into a Lead Machine with AI

Most landscapers set up their Google Business Profile once—and never touch it again. But here’s the truth: if it’s not optimized and active, you’re missing out on leads that are already searching for your services.

In this episode, Scott breaks down how you can use simple AI tools (like ChatGPT) to fix and maintain your profile so it actually brings in paying jobs—without spending hours on marketing.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why having more reviews doesn’t mean you’ll rank higher

✅ The exact sections of your profile Google actually looks at

✅ How AI can write your descriptions, posts, and service details in minutes

✅ What to post each week—and how to schedule it all in under an hour

✅ How to respond to reviews (even bad ones) without sounding stiff or robotic

If your phone isn’t ringing as much as it should be, your Google profile might be the reason. The good news? You can fix it fast—and AI can do most of the heavy lifting.

Quick win: Update your business description this week using ChatGPT. It takes less than 5 minutes and makes a big impact on how Google ranks you.

Ever had a homeowner say, “You’re too expensive”—and not know what to say next?

In this episode, Kati breaks down exactly how to handle price objections without getting defensive or dropping your pants (your prices, that is).

You’ll learn:

✅ Why “too expensive” is usually just a conversation starter

✅ The power of “What” questions to uncover what the customer really cares about

✅ How to turn sticker shock into a sale (with mulch, patios, or planting beds)

✅ Real-world scripts and responses you can steal today

✅ How to use AI (yep, even ChatGPT) to practice these conversations

Kati walks you through examples word-for-word so you can confidently answer price pushback—and sell the value, not just the job.

🎯 Try this on your next estimate: ask, “What would you need to see to feel good about this investment?” Then shut up—and let them talk.
