UP FRONT: 

Why Most AI Voice Bots Suck (And Why That’s About to Change)

Let's talk about why most AI voice assistants make us want to throw our phones through a wall...

You know what I mean.

The robotic voices that sound like they learned English yesterday...

The painful delays between responses...

And the fact they seem to understand about 12% of what we're actually saying.

I was thinking about this when I took my Mom and sister to dinner at the iconic Steve's Pizza in North Miami the other night.

This place has been delivering happiness for 50 years. Lines constantly out the door.

But watching their operation, I realized something...

Even thriving businesses like this are leaving massive opportunities on the table.

Not because they NEED voice AI...

But because the RIGHT voice AI could 10X their efficiency overnight.

Here's what I mean...

Imagine calling to order a pizza and being greeted by a voice that:

• Sounds completely natural (not like a robot having a stroke) 

• Responds instantly (no awkward delays) • Knows every ingredient in every dish 

• Can answer complex questions about dietary restrictions 

• Understands and accommodates keto, gluten-free, or any other preferences 

• Sends payment links directly to your phone

•  Automatically prints orders in the kitchen

•  Even follows up to check satisfaction

That's the customer experience.

Your experience as business owner?

Everything happens in the background... so your staff can focus on making amazing food instead of juggling phone calls.

But here's where it gets WILD...

Picture this...

Someone lands on your website at 2 AM.

They click a button and hear:

"Hey there! I'm Alex, [Company Name]'s virtual assistant. What can I help you with today?"

They say: "I'm interested in your coaching program but have some questions..."

And just like that... a natural conversation unfolds.

Alex answers their questions...

Handles their objections...

And if they're ready to move forward?

Boom. Payment link sent. Deal closed.

At 2 AM.

While you were sleeping.

(And yes, this is ACTUALLY possible right now.)

In fact...

We're about to release a live demo at <wait for the link.com> to reveal exactly how this works (we’ll let you know when it’s LIVE).

But here's the thing...

While we're using pizza as an example (because who doesn't love pizza?)...

The applications for this are basically ENDLESS:

• Sub shops automating orders with built-in upsells

•  Grocery stores handling their deli counter remotely 

• Coaching programs qualifying leads 24/7 

• Service businesses booking appointments on autopilot 

• Really ANY business that talks to customers

Hell, if you're sharp...

You might even see the opportunity to become an affiliate or white label partner...

(Taking this tech to YOUR industry and collecting commissions? Not a bad side hustle.)

The technology to do this has advanced DRAMATICALLY in the last few months.

Those clunky, frustrating bots you're used to?

They're dinosaurs compared to what's possible now.

And while most companies are charging a fortune for mediocre solutions...

We've been quietly building something different.

Something that makes enterprise-level voice AI accessible to ANY business.

We’re calling it ZenWare Engage.

Imagine having a 24/7 voice assistant that:

• Books appointments 

• Handles upgrades 

• Processes payments 

• Answers complex questions 

• Follows up with customers 

• Never calls in sick 

• Maintains perfect quality control 

• Can even use YOUR voice

• AND CAN SELL YOUR STUFF!

All while actually IMPROVING customer experience.

(Because let's be honest - most of us would rather talk to a GOOD AI than a grumpy human any day.)

The best part?

While others are charging thousands per month for inferior solutions...

We've figured out how to make this incredibly affordable.

So here's what I REALLY want to know...

How would YOU use this in YOUR business?

What if you had a 24/7 AI voice assistant that could handle literally ANY conversation with your customers or prospects?

What would you have it do?

I'm genuinely curious.

Because while we've built this thing to be pretty damn powerful...

The REAL innovation often comes from creative business owners who see possibilities we haven't even thought of.

(That's literally how some of the best tech innovations happened. Looking at you, Steve Jobs.)

So here's the deal...

Hit reply with "ENGAGE" and do two things:

1. Tell me how YOU'D use this in your business

2. Let me know if you want to be considered for our small beta test group

We're selecting our beta partners carefully...

And honestly, I'm way more interested in working with people who have a clear vision for how they'd implement this.

Because those are the ones who usually get the craziest results.

Plus... your ideas might even help shape where we take this technology next.

Wanna help us build the future?

P.S. We're keeping this beta group SMALL to ensure everyone gets white-glove implementation support. So if you're interested, hit me back ASAP.

P.P.S. Even if you're not interested in the beta... I'd still love to hear your ideas. Sometimes the best innovations come from random conversations. 🤔

THIS WEEK’S BIZ QUIZ:

STRATEGIC THINKING:

4 Location-Independent Businesses That'll Actually Make Money in 2025 (Without Building Yourself Another Prison)

Look, I'm about to ruffle some feathers in the "entrepreneurship" space...

But most people start businesses that are just glorified jobs.

They trade one cage for another.

One boss for MULTIPLE bosses (aka clients).

And somehow convince themselves that's "freedom."

Nah. Not gonna happen.

If you're gonna put in the work to build something... let's make sure it actually gives you the lifestyle you want.

Here are 4 business models that are practically BEGGING to be run from anywhere in 2024:

1. The Pet Parent Guilt Economy

Let's be honest... people treat their dogs better than their kids these days.

And they'll spend CRAZY money to feel less guilty about leaving Fluffy alone while they're at work.

But here's the beautiful part:

You don't need to be the one walking dogs in Boise.

Start a premium pet service booking platform instead.

Build a network of luxury pet-sitters and bougie doggie hotels...

Take your cut...

And run the whole show from Lisbon or Bangkok.

You're not the service. You're the trusted matchmaker.

(And trusted matchmakers make bank.)

2. Digital Health & Wellness (No Medical Degree Required)

I'm not talking about becoming a doctor.

(Unless that's your thing. In which case... why are you reading this?)

I'm talking about digital health coaching...

Wellness product lines...

Telemedicine platforms...

Even affiliate networks for high-end health brands.

People are DESPERATE for answers and results.

You can be the one bringing them cutting-edge solutions...

While working from a rooftop café in Medellín.

3. Sustainable Products That Scale (Without Touching Inventory)

Sustainability isn't just hot.

It's on FIRE.

But you know what's not hot?

Storing inventory in your garage like it's 1995.

Think:
• Print-on-demand eco-friendly apparel
• Digital courses on sustainable living
• Drop-shipped premium household goods with killer branding

Design it once. Let others handle fulfillment.

That's how you scale without becoming a warehouse manager.

4. Social Media Consulting (The Remote Recurring Revenue Dream)

Here's a fun fact [sarcasm intended]:

Business owners are DROWNING in social media confusion.

You can be their lifeline.

Pick ONE platform to master:
• Instagram for fitness studios
• LinkedIn for financial advisors
• TikTok for beauty brands

Charge premium retainer fees.

Deliver measurable results.

Run the whole operation with just:
• A laptop
• Solid WiFi
• Maybe an Aperol spritz

(The spritz is optional... but recommended.)

Bottom line: Most people are gonna keep building pretty little cages in 2025.

Meanwhile, YOU can build a real freedom machine.

One that prints money while you're:
• Sipping coconuts in Bali
• Skiing fresh powder in Colorado
• Or doing whatever lights YOU up... wherever YOU want

But only if you pick the right model... and implement it the right way.

Want help mapping out YOUR perfect freedom business?

I've got 15 minutes to riff with you. No fluff. No pitch fest.

Just two humans... plotting your escape from the corporate matrix.

P.S. These strategy sessions tend to fill up faster than a beachfront co-working space in Bali. If you're serious about building something real in 2025... don't wait around.
