I have been running Cold outreach automated, and there are leads comming around, sometimes, after the prospect is writing e.g. LinkedIn something like, yeah, "let make an appointment" or similar level... after that nothing, he, or she is ghosting entirely for days, weeks.. sometimes month.. yesterday, i decided to pick up my dusty mobile phone, havnt done a cold call in weeks. one call, 60 secends and the discovery call was sealed. Resume: - no matter what there is out there in automations, and yes i love the fact i can sit back and do other things then typing 100 times per day the same DMs or hire students to do so. BUT - THERE IS A BIG BUT - theres is nothing more powerful then a direct personal cold call via the Phone. happy days thomasklein.consulting

If you're selling AI consulting or AI implementation... you're making it harder than it needs to be. Here's what's actually working for our AI agency clients right now. Position yourself as a Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO). Why it works: 1. It's a title. People understand titles. "AI consultant" is vague. "Your part-time Chief AI Officer" is crystal clear. 2. Most industries haven't heard of it yet. Construction companies, logistics, manufacturing, transportation... these guys need AI desperately and have zero clue where to start. 3. There's no competition in these spaces. Everyone's fighting over marketing agencies and SaaS companies. Meanwhile, a machine shop owner who just took over dad's business? He's dying for someone to modernize his ops. The key: don't target companies that think they can DIY this. Target the ones where there's a 0% chance they figure it out alone. I think every company needs a fractional CAIO. The ones who don't know that yet... those are your best prospects. Hit the companies where AI still feels like magic, not a commodity. That's where the money is.
