85% of customers who hit your voicemail never call back — they just hire the shop that answered. The same week Mark Zuckerberg admitted to his own employees that Meta's AI push \"hasn't really accelerated\" after laying off 8,000 people to fund it, the data says one boring workflow — texting back a missed call within sixty seconds — recovers an average of $3,500 a month. Meta can't find its return with billions. Yours is sitting in your missed-call log.
This week:
