Storm Surges, Freezes, and Missed Jobs: How AI Is Saving Restorers Thousands
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Missed calls, slow follow-up, and storm surges can quietly kill your revenue.
In this episode of Restoration Pros Unplugged, Clinton James sits down with Nick D’Urbano, Co-Founder and CRO of Distance, to break down how restoration companies are using AI to capture more leads, handle overflow calls, and generate more jobs — without replacing their people.
Nick walks through real-world use cases for:
- AI Voice to handle overflow and after-hours calls during storm surges
- AI Chat to convert website visitors, Facebook leads, and form fills faster
- AI Outbound to win back lost leads, collect reviews, and stay in front of commercial prospects
They also discuss why AI works best as a backup and multiplier for your intake team — especially when phones are ringing nonstop during freezes, floods, and major weather events.
