In this episode, we kick off a brand-new series on automation and holistic marketing, exploring how to streamline processes without losing the human touch. We dive into smart automation strategies—identifying which repetitive marketing and sales tasks are ideal for automation, from email sequences and content scheduling to lead scoring and follow-ups.  But here’s the big question: How do you balance efficiency with authentic, personal connections? We discuss the risks of over-automation, how to avoid making interactions feel robotic, and why the key to success is automating tasks, not relationships. You'll learn how to use AI and workflows to enhance customer experiences while keeping trust and empathy at the forefront.   Tune in as we break down best practices, share real-world insights, and explore how intentional automation can help nurture leads, improve engagement, and grow your business—without sacrificing the human element. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/o8-agency/message
