The problem
Brian installs PPF/ceramic/tint himself; mid-job calls either stopped production or went unanswered. A prior human answering service did not know the business.
What happened
As reported by Marlie: 1,180 calls in six months, 229 leads/bookings captured; Brian declined a $60k/year human hire that required firing Catherine (self-reported).
