After deploying 41 AI systems in 2025, here's the biggest thing we learned:

The wins that matter aren't the ones you celebrate at launch.

They're the ones still happening six months later.

Case in point - last week we got this message from a Sydney garage door company we deployed for back in July:

After 6 months.

After 9,900 calls processed.

After 4,484 bookings at an 85% booking rate on NEW LEADS.

After $1M+ in AI-ASSISTED revenue.

They're still sending us messages in mild disbelief.

So lets get into it - we deployed 41 AI systems in 2025.

Here's what actually worked:

BY THE NUMBERS:

22 businesses → Voice AI Employees/Agents

16 businesses → CRM & Marketing Automation

4 businesses → AI Chatbots

Multiple businesses → Database Reactivation (highest ROI)

Across industries: Trades (plumbing, garage doors, towbars), solar & battery, pest control, property management, real estate, healthcare, professional services, childcare, container sales.

Most projects: $5K-$20K setup. Most payback: within 60 days.

Here's what worked best:

1. Voice AI / 24/7 Call Automation (22 clients)

What makes the difference? It's not just that the AI answers the phone.

It's that when a customer calls, the AI greets them by name, instantly pulls up their job from ServiceM8, knows exactly what they're calling about, and sorts out their question on the spot.

One customer said to the AI: "I love talking to smart people like you."

Imagine having that bloke working for you around the clock.

Also deployed for:

• Property & real estate firms

• Professional services (3,800+ mins/month)

• Plumbing, garage doors (trades)

• Pest control businesses (2 deployments)

• Property management agencies

• Solar & battery company (100-200 calls/day, 9 different call scenarios)

• Healthcare clinics

2. Database Reactivation (Multiple clients, highest ROI)

Property investment firm: $40K commission within the first WEEK of database reactivations. 33x ROI on monthly investment.

Real estate agency: 780+ consultations booked, 78% show-up rate from systematic weekly database calling.

Solar company: 35 high-ticket site inspections from dormant database within the first MONTH of AI Reactivations.

Most businesses have thousands of untouched leads sitting in their CRM. Voice AI systematically works through them to find the ones ready to transact now.

3. Full Systems Integration (13 CRM clients + Voice AI clients)

• Container sales business: $52K invested across Zoho CRM, strategic consultancy, automation, chatbots. Full pipeline automation, 5,000+ emails/month.

• Automotive services: Leadflow CRM managing unlimited contacts, 7,000+ mins voice AI.

• US/Canadian events management company: Voice AI integrated with Swoogo (event platform) and ActiveCampaign. Delegates get enriched with AI-powered data, then automatically entered into nurture sequences based on their event attendance and interests. Complete event-to-relationship pipeline.

If it's got an API, we integrate with it:

HubSpot, Zoho, ServiceM8, GoHighLevel, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Xero, QuickBooks - you name it, we've done it.

4. AI Chatbots (4 clients)

Pest control business: Spending significant $$/month on Google Ads. Chatbot captures 100+ monthly enquiries, books jobs with live pricing, freed 20-30 hours/month. Direct Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration.

Container sales business: Multi-feature chatbot handling complex sales enquiries.

Over the next 1-2 weeks I'll break down each solution type in detail - costs, timelines, what worked, what didn't.

Right now: Two options.

Option 1: Go to VoiceAiro - pop in your Google My Business page, and in 60 seconds you'll be speaking to an AI receptionist answering questions on your business. See if you can break it!

It won't be connected to your CRM yet (that's where the real magic happens), but you'll get a taste of what it's like to start putting your business on autopilot.

It's like test-driving a Ferrari - except the Ferrari answers phones at 3am and never takes a sick day.

If you like what you hear, we can talk about integrating it into your systems.

OPTION 2: TELL ME WHICH SOLUTION FITS YOUR BUSINESS

If you'd rather skip straight to the specifics, reply withONE number based on which solution is most relevant to your business right now:

1. Inbound Voice AI (24/7 reception, like that garage company)

2. Voice AI Database Reactivation (wake up dormant leads with AI calling)

3. Speed-to-Lead Voice AI (instantly engage and nurture new leads)

4. Outbound Debt Collection (AI-powered payment recovery)

5. Multi-Channel AI Nurture (calls + SMS + email sequences)

6. Not sure - just want to chat

I'll send you the detailed case study with implementation specifics, costs, timeline, and results.

No pitch. Just the information you need to decide if this makes sense for you.

THE BOTTOM LINE

It's January 2026.

The businesses that moved in 2025 are already capturing revenue the rest of the market doesn't even know exists yet.

The majority are still on the fence.
