Need some guidance!!!

Hey Everyone! I'm a little stuck. I need some guidance.

Here's the problem:

I run an AI automations business and I sell to VCs and private equity firms.

i have sent 20,800 cold emails since September 23, 2025 till 1st april 2026. I have gotten 86 people who have responded positively and I have conducted only 15 zoom calls. I signed up a few free trial customers but no money so far.

on the other hand, i sent a similar offer to realtors. i sent 5000 cold emails, got 50 positive replies. conducted 26 meetings. even earned 150 usd that too in just 2 months. but could not sell any AI automations because there was no need.

Should I change the industry?

Here's some more context:

With the realtors, i was asking for a zoom call as a CTA in the cold email and the conversion was good.

When i asked VCs and PE firms to hop on a call the conversion was very bad. When i changed the CTA to can I send you a loom, the numbers improved drastically. but after watching the Loom they are not responding/booking a call.

One more thing i have in mind. tell me if i am wrong. i have recorded the loom video in an indian english accent. do you think they are ghosting me because of that? or am i overthinking?

What should I do?
