Inbox to Income: Build an AI Email Triage That Converts Leads & Rescues Revenue

In this focused 9-minute panel, Marcus and Sofia tackle a common nomad pain: missed revenue and client friction caused by an unmanageable inbox. They map the exact AI workflow that converts incoming messages into prioritized, revenue-generating actions—intent classification, lead scoring, concise summaries, personalized reply generation, calendar booking, and lightweight invoicing. The episode compares practical stacks (Gmail + Zapier/Make, OpenAI vs Claude for tone control, simple vector store for context), shares concrete prompts (email summarizer, priority classifier, reply template with variables), and offers a step-by-step implementation checklist you can build in a weekend. Expect clear before/after examples with measurable ROI, ethical safeguards for client data, and realistic limits of automation. Listeners leave with an Inbox-to-Income checklist and three ready-to-use prompts in the show notes so they can automate replies without losing human judgment.
