Date: June 9, 2026
Time: 2pm EST
AI automation strategies to uncover hidden costs, reduce manual work, and protect revenue.
Manual work feels normal until you calculate what it is really costing your business.
In this live webinar, we’ll break down the hidden “Manual Tax” many SMBs are paying every year through manual invoicing, slow follow-up, delayed lead response, and disconnected workflows.
You’ll learn where this tax hides, how it adds up, and how AI automation can help close the gap before it turns into lost time, lost revenue, and frustrated teams.
About this webinar
Most growing businesses do not lose money from one big mistake.
They lose it through small, repeated manual processes that quietly drain time, delay payments, and let opportunities slip away.
We call this the Manual Tax.
It shows up when invoices are processed by hand, payment reminders depend on someone remembering to send them, and new leads wait too long for a response.
In this webinar, we’ll show how that hidden cost can add up to an estimated $85,000 a year for SMBs, using three common areas: invoicing, collections, and lead response.
We’ll also walk through practical AI automation strategies you can use to identify the problem areas in your business and start reducing the manual work that slows your team down.
