A lot of people talk about “doing outbound consistently,” but what usually breaks isn’t effort — it’s friction. Recently, I built a LinkedIn outreach system to remove that friction completely. What the system does: - Scrapes targeted LinkedIn leads - Researches each profile - Writes a personalized connection message per lead - Sends the connection request - Automatically sends the 1st and 2nd follow-up What this removes from the process: - Searching and opening profiles - Copy-pasting profile data - Writing messages one by one - Manually remembering and sending follow-ups Realistic time impact: ~20 minutes saved per lead. At ~30 leads/week → ~10 hours saved every week. The bigger outcome: Outbound runs in the background. Messages stay personalized.Follow-ups never fall through .And consistency finally becomes boring (in a good way). If you’re curious and want to see the exact workflow or explore setting something similar up for yourself, feel free to DM me and we can walk through it on a quick call.

I’m building an AI voice agent in Vapi and I need a provider that can handle both: ✅ Inbound/Outbound calling (UK numbers) ✅ SMS (send + receive, ideally) ✅ Good reliability in the UK (deliverability + call quality) ✅ Reasonable pricing + easy setup I know Twilio is the common choice and looks cost-effective, but I’ve heard mixed feedback about reliability in the UK. For anyone shipping real client systems in the UK: Which provider has been the most reliable for you? - Twilio? - Vonage / Nexmo? - Telnyx? - MessageBird? - Sinch? - Anything else? If you’ve used it with Vapi specifically, I’d love to know: - call quality experience - SMS deliverability - pricing surprises - any setup gotchas Thanks in advance — want to pick something stable before I roll this out to clients.

Hey everyone 👋 I’m running into something with Vapi’s new Structured Outputs and would love insight from anyone who’s worked with the latest update. Context: - I previously used Vapi’s Summary (now marked deprecated) - It was automatically sent to my Server URL (n8n webhook) via end-of-call-report - This worked perfectly for sending internal call summaries by email What I changed: - Moved the summary logic into Structured Outputs - Structured output is: - Correctly generated - Visible in Vapi Call Logs → Structured Outputs - Linked to the assistant - Storage enabled (HIPAA mode on) The issue: - The structured output does NOT get sent to the webhook - end-of-call-report still fires, but only includes transcript/messages - No analysis / structuredOutputs appear in the webhook payload Question: Has anyone successfully sent Structured Outputs to a webhook in the new Vapi version? - Is there a hidden config / supported event I’m missing? - Or is API pull (GET /calls/{id}) currently the only workaround? Would really appreciate guidance from anyone who’s already solved this 🙏

Built a lead scoring automation that saved my sales team 15 hours per week and tripled our close rate. Here's the exact system: Every inbound lead gets scored 1-100 based on 12 criteria: Company size (from LinkedIn/Clearbit data), industry match (are they in our sweet spot?), budget signals (job postings, tech stack, funding), urgency indicators (language in their message), engagement history (have they visited pricing page? downloaded content?), title/role of the person reaching out, source (referral vs cold vs content), time since first touch, email domain (corporate vs gmail), geographic fit, previous interactions with our brand, and tech stack compatibility. Leads scoring 80+ get routed directly to calendar booking. 50-79 go to a nurture sequence. Under 50 get a polite "not a fit" response. Results: - Close rate: 8% → 23% - Sales time on unqualified leads: Down 70% - Average deal size: Up 40% (better qualified = bigger budgets) Who's still manually qualifying leads? There's a better way.

Super excited to share this milestone… I just landed my first automation project on Upwork — and it feels amazing to see the momentum finally picking up. 🔥 For the past few months I’ve been going all-in on building AI + automation skills, creating sample projects, and helping people inside different communities whenever I could. And today, that effort paid off. The client booked me to build a lead generation and automated workflows. This is exactly the kind of work I’ve been preparing for — real problems, real users, real impact. I’m sharing this not to brag… but to remind anyone starting out: 👉 Keep showing your work 👉 Keep building 👉 Keep helping 👉 The opportunities will come This is just the beginning for me, and I’m excited to keep stacking wins from here. If you're also in the automation space or building your agency, would love to connect and learn from your journey too. 🙌 If you are facing a problem to land your first job on upwork you can contact me and I can try to help you out from my end. Let’s grow together. 🚀
