2% better a week. 2.8× in a year.

You set up the Monday quote follow-up once. One good prompt, saved, done. It sends the same email on day 365 as on day one. A tool has a fixed ceiling. Nobody logs what worked, so nothing improves.

1 2% better a week is 2.8× by week 52 Weekly result against week one. The tool stays at 1×.
*Compound growth, our arithmetic: (1 + rate)^weeks

Now add a loop. Every Monday the follow-up logs the replies, tries one change, keeps the winner. Two percent better a week is 2.8 times better in a year (chart 1). One percent is 1.7 times. Salim Ismail calls it recursive self-improvement, one job at a time. You stop being the typist and become the editor.

“Recursive self-improvement at the workflow level.”

Ronic's front desk answers the phone, calls enquiries back, and follows up so no enquiry goes cold. Put the loop on top: log what got a reply, keep it, drop the rest. Start now. The gap a loop opens is one a latecomer cannot close by buying a fancier tool.
