QA

1. How is Flow AI different from other Collage automation tools?

2. Can you really book a sales meeting using this tool?
   Yes. According to the official description, there are usually only three reasons for not being able to successfully book a meeting: the content of the message is incorrect, the value provided is unclear, or the target customer is the wrong person.Flow AI claims to help users with all three of these issues, measured by whether or not they ultimately get a response from the customer. Their data shows that most users get two to three high-quality sales meetings per week.
