From doing the same work every day to more time for the work that counts.
Two recurring jobs took up time every week: emails back and forth about exactly what a customer wanted to rent, and writing the same kind of emails to new contacts every morning.

From challenge to result
The problem
A customer emailed asking for "a sound system for Saturday", and five more emails followed about quantities and times. Emailing new contacts meant starting from a blank email every morning.
The approach
The customer puts the inquiry together themselves: products, quantities and rental dates in one cart. And every morning there are draft emails waiting in the inbox, each with its own opening line based on what that business says on its own site. A person reads them and presses send.
The result
- An inquiry with everything in it, no back and forth
- A personal email ready for each company every morning
- Nothing goes out without a person
- More time for the work itself
What happens now
The inquiry comes in complete and the drafts are prepared. The business owner reads, edits where needed, and sends.
