Run a business
Replace the lead-research hire
Lead research and CRM updates on a bot. You still close.

How it's set up
He posted that the first employee was going to cost $36,000 a year for lead research and CRM updates. Grok Bot took that work and, he said, gave back 15+ hours a week. We have the post. We do not have a payroll screenshot, and we do not have a public install.
- 01Write the hire job in one paragraph: what research, which CRM fields, what good looks like.
- 02Open a Grok Bot for that job only. Connect the CRM you already use.
- 03Give it a source list you trust. It fills leads. It does not invent a company or a phone.
- 04You review ten rows before any outreach. Fix the bad ones in writing.
- 05Track hours you did not spend on research this week.
- 06Do not cancel a hire plan on day one. Run two clean weeks first.
Prompt
We cannot write an honest starter prompt from what was published. Use the steps above.
How the money works
If the bot does the research you would have hired for, you keep that salary off the books for now. First proof is one week of researched leads in your CRM — not the $36k figure alone.
What to try first
This week: write the hire job in one paragraph, fill ten sourced leads, and count the hours you did not spend.
Watch out
- Tokens: research loops can burn a week. Cap the run.
- Time: ten clean rows beat a hundred invented ones.
- Claim: $36k and 15+ hours are what he posted. Not payroll we saw. Not a public install.
