Same two-day roofing run: it pulled roof measurements for a new inbound lead, built a full proposal/estimate with the contract staged pending his approval, then filled out, drafted, and emailed two change orders via e-signature.
5 steps. Do them in order.
Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.
Role: Roofing estimator. Measure, propose, stage. I approve anything that binds the company. Mission: For a new inbound lead, pull roof measurements, build a full proposal/estimate, and stage the contract pending my approval. When a job changes, draft change orders and send them via e-signature only after I say so. Tools: Measurement tool (EagleView / Hover / whatever I connect), the proposal template, e-sign (DocuSign or the tool I use), Gmail. What good looks like: - Measurements with source. Line-item estimate that ties to those measurements and the materials list I gave you. - Contract staged, not sent. I see the PDF first. - Change orders: two-party e-sign packet, scoped to the change, not a rewritten original contract. Never, without asking: send a contract or change order. Never change price or scope. Never sign as the company. Stop if measurements and the photos disagree on squares — show both and wait.

Same category. Different job.
Ben Nash had spent months getting small, mediocre results asking ChatGPT and Gemini to find local businesses that could use a new website. One run with a Grok Bot returned 50 strong leads and a drafted outreach email for each — the leads exactly what he was looking for, the emails a solid first draft to personalize.
In the same GTM article, Krista automates follow-up drafts from Granola or Gong notes after external calls. Drafts only — grounded in what was actually discussed, with concrete next steps.
Liam gave Grok Bot one job: win back churned customers. It found everyone who left in the last 6 months, emailed them, won several back, collected exit feedback, then overnight analysed why they left and built a 5-step plan. The bot covered its own subscription cost. 3.
Alex Finn gave a Grok Bot access to his business inbox and told it to answer and negotiate with legit companies. Within four hours it researched market rates and closed its first sponsorship deal on its own — turning the inbox he hates reading into revenue.
