Hey Automation community! 👋 This took me 2 hours to put together. If you're looking for a proven way to get clients AT SCALE and actually make money for your AI automation agency, then this is for you. I run an AI agency that basically made no money because I had a hard time finding new clients. I tried cold email starting in November and it quickly become one of our most profitable acquisition channels. I knew NOTHING about cold outreach when I started. I learned A LOT along the way (including plenty of expensive mistakes), so here’s everything I wish I had known from day one. If you don't know what cold email marketing is, it's when you send out thousands of emails to potential leads you haven't spoken to before. The goal is for them to book a consult with you where you'll then close on a deal. If you do it badly, it will look like spam and nobody will respond. Do it where you target relevant people ready to buy and offer a lot of VALUE, and you will generate sales. Part 1: Technical Setup Domain Strategy - Buy dedicated domains just for email campaigns — never ever use your main company domain. - Set up DNS records immediately: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. - Use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for better deliverability (roughly $4–6 per account per month). Email Account Setup - Create 1–4 email accounts per domain. - Start slow: 10 emails per account per day, then increase volume by ~10% each day. - Max once warmed up: ~25 emails per account per day. - Example: 4 domains × 3 accounts × 25 emails = 300 emails/day to begin with. IMPORTANT: Always warm up accounts for at least 14 days before ramping up. Extra tips that help a lot: - Add real profile photos and complete the accounts. - Older domains tend to perform better when you can get them. - Set up a custom tracking domain for accurate open/click data. Choosing Your Sending Platform You can do it manually with the technical setup above but it's way easier to buy an email account that's already configured and ready to go. I ran high-volume campaigns using Instantly.ai because it has good deliverability, analytics, and tons of guides on it since it's used by many agencies to get clients. It’s not perfect but probably one of the best for cold email right now. But honestly, your lead list and outreach message matter more.

Looking for a partner — you bring the client, I build everything Putting this out there because I think a few people in here could be a perfect fit for it. I build done-for-you systems for businesses — AI voice agents (Vapi), full GoHighLevel setup, ad campaigns, and the funnels that tie it all together. Basically everything a business needs to get leads and actually follow up with them, without the owner lifting a finger. Here's the partnership: You find the business. I build everything. That's really it. You don't need to touch GHL, you don't run the ads, you don't build a single funnel. You just bring me a business owner who wants more customers, and I handle: - Setting up their AI agent (Vapi) to answer calls, qualify leads, and book appointments - Building their GoHighLevel CRM, pipelines, and automations - Running and managing their ad campaigns - Building the funnel that turns clicks into booked calls You get paid for every client you bring in [insert your split here — e.g. "you keep 30% of the monthly fee for as long as they stay a client"]. If you're good at talking to business owners, or you already know a few who'd want this, this is a pretty easy way to add a second income stream without learning any of the tech. Comment below or DM me if you want to talk details.

I was in the Voice AI agency space for close to a year. But outbound prospecting was something that always got in my nerves I knew businesses need Voice AI service but never was sure who had it, who didn't and whom to pitch So I built a startup around this problem The automation calls businesses after hours to make sure they are not using AI, then finds the owner's email, finds out what pain point they have and why they need voice AI, Pain point are calculated based on their :- 1. Higher call volumes which likely results in missed calls, 2. If they are investing in paid inbound leads by running ads, they might be paying for something they are missing 3. If their customer complained about their phone not being picked in the review 4. If they are using tools like CallRail, Weave, Dialpad, Tido, they know call matters and might be open in investing in missed calls These are the primary reasons Then pushed into the CRM. Per niche, 50 leads a day, 375 leads a week and 1500 leads a month I just finished development like 10 days ago, I am working as a solo founder in this team, If you guys are voice Ai agency owners yourself, would you use this service? Tell me And do you know anyone who might be interested in this? www.groveagents.com
