Leyla Preston wears several caps; she is a mom, content creator, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple businesses, including her primary company, Hand2Hold. With this venture, she aims to connect prenatal and postnatal women with essential physical and mental health services across the UK. 

She also owns several small pregnancy and parenting businesses and runs a YouTube channel. As she works across several industries, from healthcare to pregnancy, health tech, and parenting, you can only imagine the stress and pressure she is under. Managing an entire family and working on her personal growth on top of this was challenging for Preston.  

Then, she decided to get help from Sintra AI and its smart brain. After employing the AI employees for her businesses, Preston witnesses remarkable outcomes. She;

  • Saved 5-10 hours weekly to focus on her personal and professional development. 
  • 2.5 x income growth per month to expand the scope of operations. 
  • Massive boost in productivity with content automation.

Businesses Overview

One of Leyla Preston's main businesses is Hand2Hold. It is a solution for prenatal and postnatal parents to connect with essential physical and mental health support services across the UK. Currently, she plans to expand and launch a Hand2Hold app so that women can find avenues for help. 

However, this is only a small part of her hectic routine. She further runs pregnancy and parenting businesses, such as Motherhood Diaries, an online platform for sharing pregnancy and parenting experiences, and 365 Days of No Screen, which helps families balance screen time. Preston is also active on her YouTube channel, where she talks about families balancing screentime and enhancing productivity for entrepreneurs. 

The Challenge: Automating Repetitive Tasks

As a business owner who works across multiple industries and wants to expand operations, Preston's biggest challenge was balancing time and workload. Working in multiple roles, she had to juggle between tasks like social media management, sales, customer service, and more. 

Despite getting help from her editors and assistant, she had to give input and felt that something always needed to be done. Plus, balancing family life with an extensive workload seemed intimidating. 

Preston spent over 20 hours a week on tasks that could have been easily automated, which restricted her from focusing on business growth and creative planning.  

The areas where she struggled most include planning and management. According to Austin, “Social media management, customer communication, and content planning were some of the most time-consuming areas.” 

Additionally, the absence of an organized system to plan, schedule, and post would cause her to miss out on significant things. Hence, her main concern was employing an efficient system that would manage routine, repetitive tasks, especially social media scheduling. 

Moreover, as all of her businesses revolve around customer communication, she needed an intelligent solution that works like a real employee and streamlines customer interactions. This would allow her to scale business operations and broaden their reach. 

The Solution: Sintra AI Helps Plan Business Development Strategy and Task Automation

What Makes Sintra AI Unique?

Sintra AI is intelligent software for businesses to streamline their work processes and promote creativity. Sintra combines over 12 AI employees with different skill sets and power-ups so you can develop innovative and effective solutions. 

From data analytics to content generation, strategy planning, and social media management, Sintra AI has trained its AI helpers on 100,000+ unique data points. This allows them to provide accurate and quick results while constantly using your preferences to adapt over time. 

One particularly helpful feature of Sintra is its AI Brain. This function works by understanding your business ambitions and analyzing customers’ information to produce work that resonates with your brand image. As you feed more data into this system, it becomes even smarter and eventually gives a competitive advantage in the market.  

Accurate Data Analysis

The biggest challenge Leyla Preston experienced was the extensive data coming from each business. She would spend hours and even days sifting through customers’ information and making sense of trends without accuracy guaranteed. 

To resolve this issue, she employed AI data analyst Dexter on all the websites. This smart employee would analyze trends in the company’s data, make a detailed report, and provide alternate routes to facilitate business objectives. Preston would now focus on making informed, data-driven decisions using the extracted trends and recommendations.  

Better Strategy Planning

Preston's new business goal was to focus on creative tasks and launch new projects. However, this was not possible while she was juggling multiple manual and repetitive tasks. AI business strategist Buddy helped her map growth strategies by combining deep market insights with advanced analytics. Preston would also employ Buddy to analyze her competitors and refine strategic tasks. 

Optimized Content Strategy

Running multiple businesses would mean Preston had to come up with constant content productions to keep her audience engaged. Thankfully, AI SEO specialist Seomi helped her generate bulk content with a focus on SEO, leading to organic traffic and higher visibility. 

What was especially great for Preston was the Brain AI that kept asking her questions regarding her customers, businesses, and expectations. Depending on the output and the context of past conversations, Seomi made sure the work resonated with her audiences. 

Effective Social Media Management

Preston used AI social media manager Soshie to manage her social media without hiring a human employee. This intelligent Sintra AI assistant is trained on thousands of unique data points from popular marketers on social media. So, from creating social media campaigns to writing content and scheduling posts, Preston could do almost everything within minutes and focus on business development strategies. 

Task Automation

Other useful Sintra AI helpers who helped Preston manage time and become productive are AI executive assistant Vizzy and AI personal growth coach Gigi. Vizzy used deep algorithms to develop custom solutions that are creative and efficient, helping Preston turn her to-do lists into done. She even let Vizzy access her Google Calendar for email drafting and scheduling, so there is no need to worry about what to do next. 

Using Gigi also proved a game changer for Preston’s personal development. Trained to understand personal preferences and lifestyles, this AI assistant would create effective routine workouts, meals, and other plans for her.    

The Result: More Time for Tasks That Matter

After employing Sintra AI employees in her work routine, Preston saved five hours weekly. This time allowed her to work on creative personal and professional areas that required more attention. 

Preston says, “I have so much more headspace now to focus on creative work and big-picture strategy.”  

  1. 2.5x Income Growth Per Month

Sintra AI employees combined crafted high-ranking content for Preston’s websites that translated into higher conversions and engagement. This significantly increased her monthly income and gave her incentive to expand and scale operations. 

  1. Massive Boost In Productivity

One of Preston's main challenges was the lack of an organized management system. Sintra AI allowed her to employ a proper social media management channel that accessed Google Calendar and scheduled content production and postings. 

By letting Sintra AI handle repetitive stuff, Preston could focus on what truly matters! Preston said, “I am much more organised with my workload and have seen a massive boost in productivity.”
