Introduction
Most growth teams waste hours on manual work. You can’t scale that. Whether it’s lead routing, email follow-up or analytics reports, the machines should be doing more of it.
This section focuses on using tools that free up your team’s time. AI, automation and no-code tools can take a lot off your plate. But only if they’re set up right.
It’s not about chasing shiny objects. It’s about choosing the right tools, giving them a clear job, and then letting them do it. That’s how you build leverage.
