Coincidence?

This morning I was talking to our drainage engineer about an underground stormwater retention device he had designed and I was telling him about some of the new systems we have used for oil & gas clients. He wanted to see more about it so I emailed him a link to a website.

About 90 minutes later a sales guy shows up at the office and his company builds tanks and storage systems for hydrology applications, including underground storage systems.

Since we opened this new office I have only had one vendor show up and he was an HR company and we dont need that because our HR is all run out of Pittsburgh. So I am thinking this has to be just a crazy coincidence? I did a google search on underground systems to send Sam a link but our IP addresses link back to corporate.

Is that crazy?

I understand that your google searches affect marketing and I wouldnt be shocked if they used voice to target market but this is a smallish tank company and they sent a regional rep within an hour.

I mean it was creepy AF but it has to be a coincidence. We joked about it all day. I kept mentioning publishers clearing house but hell no they didnt show.

A can be from the cell phone call or the Google search the one hour is real creepy, but you know Google sends leads out like clockwork. So does Apple. So does Amazon

I believe it. The thing about google is everything on our net goes through the midwest. Our office isnt even listed yet.

Phone's are listening, as are Google's and Alexa's.

We started carrying a product called Josh.ai that does voice control without the constant monitoring.

AI is the gamechanger. As more companies implement solutions, reaction times like 1 hour become more and more possible.

The next 5 years are going to be very fun.
