You didn't buy the wrong AI tool. You bought it at the wrong stage.
That $200/month collecting dust isn't a tech problem. It's a sequencing problem. And it happens to smart operators every day — not because they made a dumb decision, but because nobody told them what to prioritize first.
Here's what title industry leaders are getting right that most business owners miss: they start with the bottleneck, not the buzzword. First American and MyHome both emphasized identifying your highest-friction workflow before touching the budget conversation. Not "what AI can we add" — but "where are we bleeding time and money right now?"
That one reframe changes everything. Suddenly you're not shopping for AI. You're solving a specific problem that already costs you something measurable.
The practical move? Before your next vendor call, write down the one task your team complains about most. That's your starting point. One problem. One solution. Thirty days to prove it works.
No ripping apart what's working. No new hires. No six-month learning curve.
What's the one workflow in your business that you'd automate tomorrow if you knew it would actually work?
