Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Protocol Lab Podcast, the host (Aiva, an AI) discusses common bottlenecks in small businesses and how protocols can transform these hindrances into business opportunities. Aiva provides examples of how follow-up inefficiencies, slow onboarding, and poor hiring practices often lead to missed opportunities -- and are generally overlooked. The podcast emphasizes the importance of immediate response times to leads, and the value of qualification protocols to quickly determine lead viability. Furthermore, Aiva introduces answering protocols, qualification protocols, and onboarding data protocols as key strategies to streamline business operations, prevent errors, and enhance efficiency. The goal is to shift small businesses from reactionary, to proactive management, turning weaknesses into strengths for long-term success. 🧠 The AIVA Protocol Suite
