I see this every week. Someone's like "I'm building my whole cold email system in n8n, it's gonna be sick" and then three weeks later they're confused why they have zero replies and their domain is blacklisted. Bro. n8n is great for automations. It's not cold email software. You can't just blast from one Gmail account and expect results. You'll burn the account in 2 days and land in spam 9/10 times. Cold email needs proper infrastructure — multiple domains, multiple inboxes, warmup sequences, deliverability monitoring, spam testing. The people getting results aren't DIY-ing this part. They're using actual cold email platforms that handle the technical stuff so you can focus on the message and the volume. You're not smarter for overcomplicating it. You're just slower. Use n8n for lead enrichment, for research, for whatever. But for sending? Use software built for it. Then you can actually send 500-1,000 emails a day without destroying your reputation. That's when the math starts working. If you got any q's about it shoot me a dm.

you guys are building insane workflows, watching 9 hour YouTube tutorials, tweaking n8n nodes at 2am… and then you sit there wondering why you have zero clients. bro. you skipped the only thing that matters: outbound. specifically — cold email. not because it's sexy. because it's the only channel where you control the volume, the targeting, the message, the speed, and the math. you can send 500+ emails a day. you can test 10 different angles in a week. you can reach CEOs, ops managers, anyone — without waiting for them to "find you." and with AI? scraping leads, researching companies, writing personalized openers… it's all automatable now. the entire pipeline runs while you sleep. most people avoid it because they're scared of hearing "no" 47 times. cool. stay broke then. or you can send 1,000 emails this week, book 3 calls, close 1 client, and actually have a business. cold calling and SMS are great as add-ons, but email is the foundation. it's not 2015 anymore — this shit works better now than it ever did. If you got any q's about it, shoot me a dm or just comment.

The problem is you're sending 20 emails a week and wondering why nothing's happening. I see people in here with solid automations, good case studies, decent messaging. But they're only reaching out to like 10 people a day because they're "being strategic" or waiting for the perfect moment. There's no perfect moment. You just need to hit volume. 500 sends a day minimum(not manually duh). Not because you're spamming. Because that's what it takes to get 25 replies and book 3 calls. It's just math. Once I realized I was treating outreach like it was sacred instead of treating it like a numbers game, everything changed. Took me way too long to figure that out. If you have no clue how to automate cold email and book them calls shoot me a dm.

Had the landing page. Had the email sequence. Had the Calendly link ready. Posted it everywhere. Got 47 clicks. Zero calls booked. Meanwhile another guy in the same group just scraped 5000 restaurant owners, had cold emails sent out to them about automating their reservation confirmations, and had 9 calls booked by Wednesday. One of them has 4 clients now. The other one is redesigning his funnel. Cold email isn't pretty but it's the only thing that actually puts you in front of people who can pay you. If you're still waiting for your content to pop off, you're gonna be waiting a while. Now if you don't wanna do that, shoot me a dm I'll show u how cold email works.

You're in here talking about Zapier workflows and n8n automations while your bank account's at $400. The hard truth? Your AI agency doesn't have a tech problem. It has a client problem. And you're hiding behind "building the system" because cold emailing people sounds too simple, too boring, too 2019. Meanwhile, the people actually making $30k/mo from AI agencies aren't smarter than you. They just send cold emails. Every single day. And they use AI to make it scalable — scraping leads, personalizing at scale, managing deliverability. That's it. That's the entire game. You want to keep pretending there's some secret SaaS integration that'll make clients appear? Go ahead. Msg me on skool if you got any q's about it.
