If you missed this week’s call, no stress. The replay is up for you to watch when you get a quiet moment. We had @Blake Sims on for his first live call!! He's an Aussie living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, with a maths and tutoring background, and is now focussing on AI Automations. He's starting cold email this week into Aussie high ticket coaches and digital agencies, with a list of about 2,300 people. He shared his two main offers, a chatbot that acts like a smart lead magnet for coaches, and a system that builds client reports automatically for agencies. He also walked us through his 7 day build plus 7 day trial promise, where the client only pays if the numbers hit the target. @Ryan Magill and @Jaron Shoptaugh gave an update on Pickleball Passport. They've cut their email copy down to about 40 words, removed the link from the first email, and are seeing very healthy positive reply rates so far. They're using Daniel Priestley's ScoreApp to learn what club owners and players actually want from a Thailand pickleball trip. They're also planning more content, with video and social posts to show what the trip looks like on the ground in Thailand so clubs can share it with their members. @Subrat Behera shared his new campaign for his Indian client who sells remote team members to US agencies. He cut his list from 1,000 to 500 and moved the target from 1 to 10 staff up to 5 to 25 staff so the offer fits better. Early open rates are also above 50 percent and he is A/B testing subject lines, but it's still very early so no replies yet. We spent a good chunk of time on when to use AI and when not to. Blake showed how he uses many prompt steps to get strong first line personalisation, and how fast replies help close more leads. We talked about Instantly’s AI reply agent, webhooks and n8n for follow up, and how most automations don't need fancy AI at all. The rule was simple, only use AI if it makes the work faster, more accurate, or brings in more money.

We ran our second weekly call for the AI Kanga Cold Email Lab and this time three legends jumped on live! @Jaron Shoptaugh and @Ryan Magill are cousins in Bangkok working on a luxury Pickleball travel offer for people 50 plus, in the U.S., who want to play in Thailand and make a holiday of it. We walked through how they can use ScoreApp (Daniel Priestley's SaaS - watch his attached YouTube - great tool) as a quiz to test demand, find their best leads and make the survey more fun. We also spoke about better ways to scrape leads from Apollo, Facebook, Instagram, clubs and travel operators instead of guessing. @Subrat Behera joined us from Mumbai. He runs a Cold Email Agency on his own. He's getting good results in India using Apollo, automation (n8n) and custom icebreakers, but he's finding it harder to get replies from overseas and to stay motivated to send cold emails for his own Agency, to gain more clients. On the call we talked through tweaks he can make to his emails, his new international campaign, and how community can help when you're flying solo. If you missed it, watch the replay to see real campaigns getting live help and a few simple ideas you can steal for your own list building and emails. After you watch, post one small action you'll take this week in the community so we can all keep moving forward and growing together.! See ya live next week!! 🙏🏻💪🏻👍🏻
