The AI gave me the quote, stop paying humans to do robot work. I like the quote. Yeah, so you are paying humans to do robot work. This is what it says on the second slide over here. So 1.5 to 3 million annual sales plus marketing payroll, 80% spent on repetitive ops tasks, 6 months to hire plus ramp 1 person. So I don't like this one as much 'cause I don't want to go with the angle that I want to replace anybody. I want to go with the angle that we're here to partner with the team and we're going to help make their team, everyone gets to like a top high level. 'Cause if you start using replacement language, the people on this pitch, they don't want to hear that.
I like this and I think you're spot on in which You just got to optimize it to talk about how humans are wasting time on robot work, and there's more better things that they could be doing. And when you do it, it frees up their time. They're happier. You have less employee churn. They get more productive. Companies grow. Human on average saves X amount of time, and they reallocate a portion of the time to doing A, B, and C, which we found to produce companies X percent higher ROI.
