$88K in 33 Days From Leads Nobody Was Following Up On

Ortega had $250K in old estimates sitting in the CRM. Nobody was following up on them. I built an automated drip sequence in CHIIRP that texted those leads on a set schedule — no manual effort, no extra ad spend. In 33 days it closed $88,419 in sold jobs. Annualized, that's over $1M a year from leads the company already paid for and forgot about.

Zapier · Speed-to-Lead · API

Cut Yelp Response Time From 3 Hours to 5 Minutes With One Zapier Flow

Yelp leads go cold fast — if you don't respond in minutes, they book someone else. Our team was averaging 3–4 hours. I built a Zapier flow that fired a personalized text to every new lead the second it came in, using their name and service type pulled straight from the Yelp API. It felt like a real person wrote it. Response rates jumped 50% and we stopped handing $42K a year to faster competitors.

Built an AI That Reads Lead Emails and Creates CRM Records Automatically

We were losing 10 leads a week because someone had to manually read each email, pull out the customer info, and type it into ServiceTitan. I replaced that process with a Make.com pipeline connected to GPT-4o-mini. It reads the email, grabs the name, number, and service need, checks for duplicate records, flags urgent jobs, and creates everything automatically. At $182 per lead, stopping that bleed saves $195K a year.

CHIIRP · SMS · Database Segmentation

$20K Booked in 4 Days From a List of 1,000 People Who Hadn't Called in a Year

Phones were quiet during shoulder season. I took 1,000 inactive customers and ran a 4-day SMS sequence offering a $99 Swamp Cooler startup deal. The texts also asked a simple yes/no question — and based on each reply, CHIIRP automatically tagged the contact as a Swamp Cooler or AC customer in ServiceTitan. 56 leads responded. $20,544 in jobs were booked. $73K in total pipeline opened. First real segmented database the company ever had.

Google Ads · Geo-Targeting · Budget

Cut the Ad Budget 41% and Revenue Barely Moved

Google Ads spend had crept to $10,700 a week. I pulled the data and found we were paying for leads in ZIP codes our trucks couldn't reach fast enough to close. I paused 7 dead zones and split HVAC into two campaigns — one for installations, one for service calls — each targeting only the areas that actually made money. Spend dropped to $6,200. Revenue held at 90.6%. ROAS jumped from 3.34x to 5.0x. That's $168K in waste gone annually.

Marketing Director

  • Built a CHIIRP drip automation that followed up on $250K in dead CRM estimates and closed $88,419 in new revenue in 33 days — zero extra ad spend.
  • Wired a Zapier + Yelp API speed-to-lead flow that cut response time from 3–4 hours to under 5 minutes, lifting response rates 50% and recovering ~$42K/year.
  • Built a Make.com + OpenAI pipeline that reads every inbound lead email and auto-creates the ServiceTitan CRM record — stopping ~$195K/year in lead bleed from manual intake lag.
  • Designed a 4-day CHIIRP SMS reactivation sequence that booked $20K in jobs from 1,000 cold contacts and built the company's first segmented equipment database via automated reply tagging.
  • Geo-audited Google Ads, paused 7 wasteful zones, split HVAC into Install vs. Service campaigns — cut spend 41%, held 90% of revenue, pushed ROAS from 3.34x to 5.0x, saved $168K annually.
  • Deployed a Make.com CHIIRP notification system with a 5-minute mute window so the CSR team gets alerted to inbound texts instantly — without getting spammed when a customer sends multiple messages.
  • Built an AI review response engine using GPT-4o-mini across 3 Google Business Profiles — 100% response rate, keyword-optimized replies, and 80% less time spent on reputation management.
  • Ran a full 12-month spend audit, killed a $57.9K/year TV contract generating leads at 10x the cost of Google Ads, and migrated all digital ops to a new agency — raising lead qualification from 36% to 45% in 30 days.
  • Built a weekly executive reporting system for the CEO and GMs covering spend, lead quality, and booking bottlenecks — turned marketing from a cost center into a live business intelligence feed.
  • Launched a Meta UGC video campaign from scratch during a 4-day call drought — scripted and edited the ad end-to-end, delivered it to the agency ready to run. $42 cost per call, beating the industry average of $45–$80.

  • Finished a 4-year Marketing degree in 5 months — the same pattern shows up everywhere in how I work.
