Everyone’s obsessed with “speed to lead”—instant replies, lightning-fast automation, zero human lag. But what if slowing down actually converts better?

In this episode, Marcus Slater, founder of AdCloud, breaks down a simple two-minute delay we added to AI follow-up across 20 studios—and the surprising results that came with it.

Spoiler: Faster isn’t always better. Especially if it feels like a robot.

🎯 What you’ll see in this episode:

• Why AI follow-up still needs a human touch
• What happened when we slowed down our AI by just two minutes
• The test results: engagement, conversions, and trust gains
• How to use micro-tests to uncover hidden growth opportunities
• Why every platform (Google, Social, TikTok) needs a different follow-up strategy
• The secret to balancing automation with authenticity

If you’re still chasing speed without considering tone, trust, or timing… you might be leaving serious revenue on the table.
