In partnership with
Genuine Stone. Real Beauty. Built to Last.
Hi there,
Last issue broke down why Lowe’s rolled out AI phone agents to 1,700+ stores, and why so many companies are doing the same. The cost gap is hard to ignore: roughly $0.50 per AI-handled call vs $6 for a human call. That 12x difference turns “maybe later” into “we should look at this now.”
Today’s edition stays in the same lane, but swaps software for something you can touch: making a high-stakes decision easier to execute, without the weeks of back-and-forth.
Partner Spotlight: Stoneyard
Stone veneer is one of those choices that gets harder the longer you browse.
Every photo looks different in different lighting. Every showroom has a “favorite.” And by weekend three, you are still stuck between two options that somehow look identical until they don’t.
Stoneyard’s Virtual Visit is built to break that loop. It’s a free, live video session with a stone specialist who helps you narrow your options quickly, answer the questions that actually matter for your project, and walk away with a clear plan.
In about 30 minutes, you’ll leave with:
A short list of stone styles that fit what you are building (Ledgestone, Square & Rectangle, Thin Strips, and more)
Real comparisons for color, texture, and overall look, side by side
Practical guidance based on your budget, timeline, and site conditions
Next steps made easy: free samples shipped, plus help with quotes or referrals if you want them
Stone is a “live with it for years” decision. Getting aligned early saves time, prevents expensive changes mid-project, and helps you move forward without second-guessing every sample.
