From Spreadsheets to AI: How Moxie Pest Control Boosted Conversions 5% with Data and Call Coaching

Описание: Think pest control isn’t a digital business? Think again.

Raj Mehta, Vice President of Product and Technology at Moxie Pest Control, outlines how he turned a spreadsheet-run operation into a data-driven engine across 9,000+ daily calls.
Raj shares how consolidating fragmented systems into a data lake unlocked automation—from shrinking lead routing from 20–25 minutes to under 30 seconds—to deploying AI-powered call intelligence that scores every sales and retention conversation against a playbook. He breaks down a practical roadmap for traditional businesses: build MVPs, pilot in one branch with a trained feedback team, iterate fast, then scale.
You’ll hear how he positioned AI as a growth amplifier (not a job cutter), the difference between deterministic automation and LLM use cases, and the measurable impact: a 5% lift in conversion that compounds in a recurring-revenue model. Plus, Raj’s concise advice for leaders bringing AI into operations without breaking trust or momentum.

Takeaways
Build a single source of truth (data lake) to power automation and AI reliably.
Cut time-to-lead with workflow automation and track the downstream impact on conversion.
Pilot in one branch with a trained “feedback team,” iterate, then roll out—don’t scale too soon.
Position AI as a growth multiplier; retain and upskill top performers to shape the culture.
Separate deterministic automation from LLM use cases; do deep discovery with frontline teams.
Use AI call intelligence to score every call against your playbook, surface coaching themes, and save manager time.
