The fix isn't complicated. Before you let any AI tool optimize for results, define what a good result actually looks like for your business — not just the easy metric. New customers, not repeat buyers. First-time leads, not existing contacts. That one instruction changes everything the AI does next.
You don't need new software. You need a better goal inside the software you already have.
