Hey everyone! I'm a freelance AI automation expert who has previously worked with marketing agencies, building various custom automation systems. One common project across several agencies was client reporting. I noticed that agencies still struggle with parts of the reporting process, especially writing reports in their own voice, explaining results in plain English, and maintaining reliable integrations. I'm now planning to turn this experience into a dedicated service that automates the client reporting workflow, from collecting data to generating clean, simple, client-ready reports. A little background: I currently have 0 paying clients for this specific service, so I want to validate the offer before going all in. Initially, I was sending personalised LinkedIn DMs offering a free prompt for handling bad-month reports. However, after speaking with an expert, I was advised to change the approach and start conversations with a simple question: “Hey [Name], are you using AI for client reporting?” The idea is to understand their current process first, identify whether they have a genuine problem, and then explore whether my service could help. I'm considering this approach, but I'm honestly confused about the outreach strategy. I'd really appreciate advice on: 1. Is this a good way to start conversations and validate demand? 2. How many follow-ups should I send, and what should each message say? 3. Should I use LinkedIn and email together? If yes, how should I divide my outreach between them? 4. How many prospects should I contact daily or weekly to test this properly? If you've done B2B outreach or sold services to marketing agencies, I'd really appreciate your message templates, follow-up examples, and advice. I want to learn from people who've actually done this before rather than blin dly sending messages. Thanks!
