"Your Estimates Are Too Slow" – AI + Video for Moving Companies with James Hatfield

In this episode, Wade sits down with James Hatfield, Chief Revenue Officer at LiveSwitch, to talk about how video and AI are transforming sales for moving and home service businesses. They dig into why the old way of doing in-person estimates is slowing companies down, and how virtual video surveys can help you win the "race to the face," respond faster, and close more of the right jobs without sending a truck to every lead. The conversation covers practical use cases for live video and AI: building accurate inventories and cube sheets from a simple walkthrough, documenting pre-existing damage to protect your crews, turning recordings into training and SOPs, and creating a long-term "data moat" that makes your business harder to compete with. They also look ahead at what's coming next—AI agents that can watch surveys, build reports, and help move you toward almost touchless online booking.
