Wow! What a ride. I started this AI Automation journey 28 days ago. I submitted a proposal for this client 2 weeks ago and just closed yesterday! After consuming the free 4-hour masterclass on cold email. I submitted a proposal on how to build out the best cold email machine to a client on Upwork! The client loved it and wanted to book a meeting with me. In the next two weeks, I had to spin up a proposal and retainer program and pitched him a whole bunch of ideas. He loved it all, so we added it to the proposal, getting it to $25k, but he didn’t want me to just build and leave but to have a retainer program. We couldn’t agree on the price. I mentioned equity, and he perked up and agreed! Products/Services provided: - AI Cold Email Machine - AI Voice Outbound Caller - AI Sales Snapshot - Auto Presentation Creator I can add more context if people are interested in the details of these, but one big thing I must say: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS. I have worked professionally in tech for over 10 years at big companies like American Express, Insight Global, and Arizona State University. What I did was leverage my experience to position myself as more than a delivering tools but hiring an expert in the field. This is where real value is generated, as it’s hard to put a price on it. @Leadgenjay and @Jordan Wiseman These guys are what gave the confidence and skills to feel competent to deliver. Jay is by far the best content creator out there around cold email. Hands down. The insider program is filled with so much value it isn't even funny. idk if this is frowned upon but I want to thank others outside this community. I want to thank @Nick Saraev with Maker School. In a sea of fake AI automation gurus and fluff, he is a breath of fresh air. Realistic, humble, and brilliant….also has a great voice to fall asleep to, so deep and calm 😂. There is so much value; the community actually helps each other, and he is also here helping, which is well worth all the money.

I just discovered a way to set up unlimited AI workflows for less than $10 a month using n8n on your own server. Here's the deal: most marketers are shelling out hundreds monthly for platforms like Zapier or Make.com when they hit any serious volume. But with this approach, you maintain complete control of your data while running as many automations as you want. The setup is surprisingly simple: - Get a basic $5/month server (add $2 for auto backups) - Use a $30 one-time Fiverr gig to install n8n - Create your workflows on your own subdomain What I love most is the freedom this creates. No more watching usage limits or getting hit with surprise bills when your business grows. The community version has everything most of us need, minus some enterprise features you probably won't miss. Anyone else frustrated with automation costs? I just put together a detailed walkthrough video if you want to see exactly how this works.

Six months ago, my team was drowning in leads but struggling to convert them into actual calls. We were generating a high volume of interested replies through cold email, with a 3.4% overall reply rate and nearly 600 opportunities in just four weeks. However, we faced two major challenges: Slow response times: Our team wasn't getting back to interested leads quickly enough, missing the critical window of opportunity to convert them into calls. Lack of personalization: We weren't taking the time to research and provide personalized replies to each interested lead, which is crucial for converting cold email leads. To solve this problem, I built an AI reply system that could respond to interested leads quickly and with highly personalized, researched responses. The best part? This system is built using no-code automation blueprints, making it accessible and affordable for any one or any business. See Thumbnail Image for a visual. Here's how it works: Replies are captured from the Instantly API and categorized based on interest level (interested, soft no, or hard no). The AI system researches each prospect, scraping their website and gathering relevant information. Using a knowledge base that continuously improves, the AI generates personalized, well-crafted replies for each lead. These replies are stored in a Notion database, allowing for easy review and customization. The results have been astonishing. By sending fully personalized, researched responses tailored specifically to each prospect, we've seen our booking ratio skyrocket. In our PR agency, we've gone from booking 50 calls per 30 days to 116 calls per 30 days – a 200% increase! And as the AI system learns and improves, these numbers continue to climb. But that's not all. This AI reply system can be put on full autopilot, triggering different sequences based on specific situations. For example, if a lead requests a lead magnet, the AI can automatically send the resource along with a personalized message, then add the lead to our CRM.
