  • The $300K Chatbot Disaster: When AI Sales Bots Attack Your Revenue
    Nov 5 2025

    Two companies. Two AI sales bots. WILDLY different outcomes.

    Company A: Built an "AI sales concierge" that generated revenue while they slept 😴💰

    Company B: Created an aggressive chatbot nightmare that:

    • Bombarded prospects with 17 emails + 23 messages in ONE WEEK
    • Demanded budget info before saying "hello"
    • Left prospects writing 1-star reviews: "Felt like a used car salesman"
    • Cost them $300,000 in scared-away deals 😱

    The difference? It's not the tech—it's the strategy.

    In today's episode, discover:

    ✅ Why "relationship-first" AI beats aggressive automation every time

    ✅ The exact mistakes that turn helpful bots into revenue killers

    ✅ How to build AI that prospects actually WANT to talk to

    ✅ The smart automation guardrails that protect your brand

    BONUS: Learn about Marcus Rodriguez's AI system that took lead response from 8 hours to instant—and boosted conversions WITHOUT annoying anyone!

    🎧 Listen now and save your prospects (and revenue) from chatbot hell!

    Oct 31 2025

    Your smart home is dumb. Your fitness tracker can't count. Your AI assistant doesn't understand you. Sound familiar?

    We're fixing ALL OF IT. Today.

    🎯 The Hit List:

    • Voice assistant that NEVER understands you (fix: 30 seconds)
    • App notifications driving you INSANE (solution inside)
    • Smart home automations that overlap & fail
    • Robot vacuum stuck under the SAME couch daily
    • Budgeting app thinks groceries = entertainment
    • Translation app making you sound ridiculous
    • Fitness tracker counting arm movements as steps
    • AI photo filters making you look like a cartoon

    The golden rule: Most AI problems aren't AI problems—they're configuration problems.

    💡 Bonus tip: That robot vacuum getting stuck? "Use physical or app-based boundary markers to tell your device where NOT to go."
