Where leads leak

The shipper emailed four brokers. The first good number won.

By the numbers · industry data, not our results

23%

of 2,241 US companies audited never responded to a web inquiry at all.

Industry data: Harvard Business Review, 2011

A shipper sends a quote request to several brokers at once. Your reps are on the phone with carriers. The email sits for an hour.

By the time someone opens it, the load is covered.

Later, the same reps re-type rate confirmations and BOL details into the TMS, then again into invoicing, while answering check calls.

Quote requests in a shared inbox

When nobody owns the inbox, requests sit while reps work the phones.

After-hours shipper calls

Shippers who can't reach you after hours call someone who answers.

"Where's my truck?" check calls

Status questions eat rep time that should go to booking freight.

Re-typing load data

Rate cons, BOLs and PODs typed into one system, then another.

The offer

Logistics Quote & Paperwork Desk

Shipper quote requests acknowledged automatically and in front of the right rep with the details pulled out, check calls off your reps' plate, and load paperwork moved without anyone typing it twice. Your reps still set every rate.

  1. Free AI audit call and a short one-page report

    A 30-minute call with Nicolas about how quote requests, check calls and load paperwork move through your desk today. He reviews your numbers (and, only if you agree, one test quote request) and sends a report covering where requests and hours leak, a rough monthly cost clearly labeled as an estimate, and the 1–3 fixes he'd make first, ranked by payback. It's a short one-page report, and Nicolas gives you a date for it on the call.

  2. Your first automation system, built

    If it's worth fixing, we build the one system your report ranks first (for example, quote-request triage) inside your TMS, inbox and accounting tools. Fixed scope, fixed price, in writing. First system live fast, with the timeline agreed in writing before we start.

First systems we'd build for freight brokerages

  • Quote-request triage. Every shipper request acknowledged automatically, with lane, dates, equipment and weight pulled into a clean summary for the right rep. No rate is ever sent automatically.
  • Quote follow-up. Quotes that got no answer followed up on a schedule you set, until the shipper books or passes.
  • Check-call deflection. "Where's my truck?" answered from your TMS or tracking data where your systems allow it. Anything else goes to a rep.
  • After-hours shipper line and missed-call text-back. Calls answered when reps are busy or gone for the day, details taken and routed, and missed callers texted from your own number.
  • Rate con to invoice without re-typing. Rate confirmation and BOL details moved into your TMS and invoicing, POD reminders sent to carriers, and a person checks before anything is billed.

The risk is on us

The audit is free and the report is yours to keep, even if we never work together. If we build, it's a fixed scope at a fixed price agreed in writing, with a full refund before work starts. You own the setup, scripts, data and logins, there's no lock-in, and a person stays in charge of anything touching money or customers. See our refund policy.

Your estimate, based on the numbers you enter. Not a quote or a promise. It's the value of work that may be slipping away, not a price for our services. The free AI audit replaces it with your real numbers.

The Free AI Audit

How it works

This is the form, inbox and proposal version of the audit: how fast new inquiries get a first reply, what happens out of hours, and how quotes and proposals are followed up. It uses your numbers, not industry guesses.

  1. A short intro call

    30 minutes, free, booked below. Tell Nicolas how new inquiries, follow-up and proposals work today. If it's not a fit, he'll tell you on the call.

  2. Nicolas reviews it

    He works from your numbers and, only if you agree, one or two test inquiries at times you choose. We never test your business without telling you first.

  3. A short one-page report

    Nicolas gives you a date for it on the call. It covers where your leads leak, a rough monthly cost (clearly labeled as an estimate), and the 1–3 fixes we'd make first, ranked by payback. It's yours to keep, whether or not we ever work together.

What the audit looks at for freight brokerages

  • How fast shipper quote requests get a first reply, in and out of hours
  • Who owns the quote inbox, and what falls between reps
  • How many status and check calls come in each day
  • What happens to calls after hours
  • How many hours a week go to re-typing load and billing data
  • How invoices and POD collection are chased

What we don't do: call your business pretending to be a customer without telling you, share your numbers, or use them for anything else.

lower odds of reaching a web lead by phone when it was called at 30 minutes instead of within 5 minutes.

Industry data: Lead Response Management Study (MIT / InsideSales.com), 2007

If the audit finds something worth fixing, you get a fixed-price plan in writing. There's no public price list, because every business runs different tools and has different leaks. You'll know the cost before any work starts.

Every quote request acknowledged and routed automatically, with lane, dates and equipment pulled out for the rep. Quotes followed up until they book or pass.

Office automation

Status updates from your TMS data where it allows, POD and paperwork reminders, invoicing without re-typing, and a weekly report.

Second free option

Free Website & ChatGPT Visibility Audit

of mobile searchers say they're more likely to look at other brands if a business has no phone number in its search results.

Industry data: Google / Ipsos, The Role of Click to Call, 2013

Not phone-heavy, or want to start smaller? We check your public website: your Google PageSpeed scores, whether calling or booking is obvious on a phone, your basic search setup, and whether ChatGPT and other answer engines recommend you or a competitor for searches like "freight broker for your lane". It's free: you get a short one-page report, and Nicolas gives you a date for it on the call. Nothing to install, and we only look at what's public.

AI answers change from one run to the next, so the report is a dated snapshot, not a ranking.

Proof, honestly

We're new. Here's how we earn your trust.

We don't have case studies to show you yet, and we won't make any up. Instead: the audit is free and you keep the report; you can hear the system working before you spend a dollar; and if it's not a fit, we'll say so.

Who you'll talk to

Nicolas Sposato, CEO of Executive Automation. He runs the intro call, reviews your audit himself and sends you the report.

Is this for you?

Good fit

  • Owner-led brokerage with 5–200 staff
  • Quote requests arrive by email and phone
  • Reps lose time to check calls
  • Load and billing data gets re-typed

Probably not a fit

  • Asset carriers with no brokerage desk
  • Brokerages where every load comes through a fully automated portal
  • You want automated rate quoting (we won't build that)

FAQ

Straight answers

Questions from freight brokerages

Will it quote rates automatically?

No. Your reps set every rate. Automation gets the request acknowledged, organized and in front of the right rep faster.

Can it answer "where's my truck?"

Where your TMS or tracking data allows it, yes. We confirm what your systems can share on the intro call before promising anything.

We're a small brokerage.

Small teams often feel the inbox and re-typing most. The audit shows whether it's worth fixing; if not, we'll say so.

Will it answer customers with wrong information?

It only answers with what you approve and what your systems actually show. Anything it isn't sure about goes to a person, and a person stays in charge of refunds and anything touching money.

Common objections

How much does it cost?

There's no public price list, because every business runs different tools and has different leaks. The audit is free. If you want help afterwards, you get a fixed price in writing before any work starts: no day rates and no surprise invoices.

What exactly is in the free AI audit?

A one-page report: where your leads leak, a rough monthly cost estimate (clearly labeled as an estimate and built only from your numbers), and the 1–3 fixes we'd make first, ranked by payback. It's yours to keep.

Is the audit really free? What's the catch?

No catch. It's how we find out whether we can help. You keep the report either way, and if there's nothing worth fixing, we'll tell you. You can also start with the free Website & ChatGPT Visibility Audit.

How long does the report take?

It's a short one-page report, and Nicolas gives you a date for it on the call. There's no fixed turnaround, because it depends on what the audit needs to look at.

We already have a receptionist, an answering service or someone on it.

Good. The audit is still a useful check: it shows what happens to the calls and inquiries that slip past (lunch, after hours, two lines ringing at once, the busy weeks). If everything's covered, you'll have that in writing, and we'll tell you there's nothing to fix.

AI sounds robotic. My customers won't like it.

That's the right worry. Listen to the demo and judge for yourself. If Ava isn't good enough for your customers, we shouldn't build it. She can hand off to a person whenever you want.

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

You decide how Ava introduces herself, but we don't recommend pretending she's a person.

Does it work with my software?

We build inside the tools you already use. Tell us what you run (your TMS (for example McLeod, Aljex or Tai), email and accounting) on the intro call, and we'll confirm exactly how we'd connect to it before you commit to anything.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Ava and missed-call text-back run on your existing number.

How fast is the first system live?

Fast. We start with one system and build it inside your existing tools, and the timeline is agreed in writing before we start.

Is there a contract? What if I want out?

Builds are a fixed scope at a fixed price, usually a deposit up front and the balance on delivery. Ongoing support is optional, billed monthly, and can be canceled any month. Before work starts, you get a full refund. You own the setup, scripts, data and logins, so nothing is held hostage. See our refund policy.

Is my data safe?

Systems are built inside your own tools and accounts. Your data stays yours, it's never used to train anyone else's software, and a person stays in charge of anything touching money or customers. We'll map exactly what each piece touches on the intro call.

We tried automation before and it didn't work.

That's common, often because it was a big project that never shipped, or nobody owned it after launch. We start small: fixed scope up front, one system first, built in your tools, with a person in charge. Tell us what broke last time, and we'll tell you honestly whether we'd hit the same wall.

We're too small, or too busy, for this.

Could be, and we'll tell you if so. The audit sometimes finds nothing worth fixing. But small teams often lose the most per missed inquiry, because the owner is the one on the job. The call is 30 minutes, and you can book a slot a few weeks out.

Who will I talk to?

Nicolas Sposato, CEO of Executive Automation. He runs the intro call, reviews your audit himself and sends the report.

Do you have case studies?

Not yet. We're new, and we'd rather show you a live demo and a free AI audit than invent numbers.
