The 5-Minute Fix: How AI Solves Missed Calls & Lost Sales | IconiQ Entrepreneurs EP 101
Hey there — it’s Erica Bailey, and in this episode of the IconiQ Entrepreneurs Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most overlooked and expensive mistakes I see service-based businesses make every single day: losing leads silently.
I’m talking about:
Missed calls that never get returned
Slow or no follow-up
Leads who click “book now”… but bounce because no one responds fast enough
And more importantly — how to solve it with AI (without hiring a huge team or losing your mind).
If you're a coach, consultant, med spa, real estate agent, home service pro, or stylist — your calendar is your cash register. If people can’t reach you or don’t hear back fast, they don’t wait. They book someone else.
