In this 2026 agency briefing, the speaker explains how their firm has integrated AI to automate the entire lead‑qualification pipeline for plumbing and HVAC clients. Previously, a team of 17 virtual assistants in the Philippines manually listened to inbound sales calls, judged whether each caller was a qualified lead, and tracked whether the lead resulted in a booked job. The new AI system automatically transcribes each call, interprets the caller’s intent, and determines lead qualification and outcome without human intervention. This automation not only replicates the prior manual process but improves accuracy, eliminates the need for a large VA staff, and delivers faster, more detailed reporting to clients, ultimately reducing costs and driving revenue growth.

We're using AI in 2026 in our agency in a lot of ways. Probably the most impactful in terms of reducing costs and efficiency is using AI to rate the outcome of the leads that we generate. Our number one goal for the plumbing and HVAC clients that we serve is to generate inbound leads and inquiries that turn into booked jobs that turn into revenue growth. And so in order to generate those leads and quantify that outcome, we used to have a full staff of VAs in the Philippines, like 17 full-time employees that would listen to the calls, determine, okay, was that a qualified lead? Did they wind up booking in so that we could report that back to the client. With AI now, we're able to automatically transcribe those calls and the AI can interpret the intent and we can do the same exact thing, actually a little bit better than we did in the past without those 17 employees, completely done with AI. And we're doing a lot of different things. But I think if I was pointing out one very specific application that had a big impact, it would be that call listening and outcome automation.
