AI Automation ROI: Real Numbers

Human for lead response + booking + support: $5K-8K/month. AI: ~$2K-2.7K/month after setup. AI works 8,760 hrs/year vs 2,000. Conservative savings: $3K-5K/month plus captured after-hours revenue.

When It Doesn't Make Sense

2 leads/week? Probably not. 20+/week and struggling to respond? Pays for itself immediately.
