Your lead just filled out your contact form. You check your email 6 hours later, craft a thoughtful response, and hit send. By then? They've already signed with your competitor. In this episode, Nico Hartwell shows you how to build an AI-powered email system that responds in under 60 seconds, 24/7, turning those missed opportunities into closed deals.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• The 5-minute rule: why companies that respond instantly are 9x more likely to convert leads (and how to automate this)

• How Make.com's 150 million monthly operations can power your lead response system for under $20/month

• The exact AI prompts that personalize emails so well, prospects think you wrote them individually

• Why automated systems see a 391% increase in qualified leads (plus the 3 triggers that make it work)

👤 Perfect for: business owners and marketers tired of watching hot leads turn ice cold while they sleep.
