Imran shared how he’s started building systems that handle first-line enquiries, qualify leads automatically, and help him stay on top of client relationships — without burning out.
He also spoke about the psychological shift required to let go of control and trust smart systems, and how doing so has allowed him to spend more time on high-value work and deepen relationships with his best clients.
