hii everyone,

I'm a freelance automation developer specializing in AI voice agents for outbound cold calling.

I can help you:

\\- Build AI voice callers for outbound campaigns

\\- Qualify leads automatically

\\- Book appointments

\\- Connect with CRMs and other tools

\\- Create custom call flows and scripts

Starting at $500 for a complete setup, depending on your requirements.

If you're looking to automate sales outreach or customer follow-ups, feel free to send me a DM. Happy to discuss your project and see if we're a good fit.

I manage a small insurance brokerage, just four of us who occasionally do client meetings, chamber of commerce breakfasts, that sort of thing. Maybe one or two networking events a month, sometimes fewer.

Every time I bring up switching from paper cards, my business partner basically rolls his eyes. His argument is that we dont go out enough for it to make a real difference, and that paper cards work fine for the volume we do. And honestly I cant fully argue with him because I dont have specifics to counter with.

But the thing that bugs me is that we have no idea what happens after we hand a card to someone. Do they follow up? Did they lose it? Did they actually look us up? Paper gives you zero feedback on any of that, and it feels like we're just throwing them into a void every time.

So I guess my question is, for people who went through this same internal debate, is a digital business card worth it even at low event volume? Or does the value only really show up when you're networking constantly? Would love to hear from people who were skeptical going in and either changed their mind or didnt.

Hello, so I am looking to get into cold emailing and I have tried it before and it seems like I missed a huge step which was verification of emails which made my emails bounce and deliverability wasn't there.

So now I have tweaked my business to a web agency but in the near future would go into lead generating service since I am good with automation and one of my first companies I worked for actually did cold email. So I am very familiar with how to build the overall workflow.

But I need help with what are the things I should look out for? Like how do I check if my emails are getting delivered and not landing on spam? How do I check if my overall domain reputation is good enough? How do I make sure I write a good copy?

So these are the things I am looking to get advice on. Currently I have 5 domains and 10 inboxes Gmail inboxes. Now I have given them for warmup and I will be using manyreach to send the emails so could you guys give me some suggestions regarding my questions because I want to start on the right foot

I cold call and when I am looking for John and dont have his direct dial, I go via the office line and often get asked whats it about, does John know and all other sales call qualification questions - I am honest all time time. More often that not, I'm not patched.

Another reseller of our product i spoke to said he lies all the time for those questions - stating so Ive had on and off email contact with John over the last week and he has expressed some interest in our services so I'm just looking to run something by him and he's patched 90% of the time - so basically lying and getting through - his reasoning, the gatekeeper is trying to weed out sales calls and the above just helps getting the call patched.

What do you guys do if you were in my shoes? I really cant digest lying to get in but want to see what's the consensus like - he books twice of what I did last month in a far harsher territory / market which I need to pivot to

I'm building a tool to help salespeople improve their sales communication. Recently, I was talking to a founder, and he said:

"Imagine this is a self-improvement product. Most individuals won't buy it. But companies that want their employees to improve their communication will."

That completely changed how I thought about my product.

I shifted from targeting a large audience to a much smaller, higher-value segment. Instead of trying to convince thousands of individual users, I'm now focusing on the people who have the budget and a stronger reason to buy.

I also realized I don't want to spend too much time explaining what my product does. The right audience should immediately understand the value.

My takeaway: your real customer might not be your end user. Sometimes, it's the person who benefits from helping the end user improve. You don't always have to sell directly to the people using the product.

You don't need the perfect plan from the beginning. Sometimes, talking to a few people is enough to completely change your direction.

I’m 18 years old and started an agency where we can integrate AI chatbots into businesses’ WhatsApp/instagram or even websites so that the AI can deal with any queries. This include reservations for restaurants but also qualifying buyers and sellers for real estate agents

For the past 2 days I’ve been cold calling businesses with no luck. Did about 30 yesterday and 50 today. I know these are rookie numbers and nothing in comparison to the experience of others but I’d still appreciate some guidance

Most of the time I barely even get a chance to properly explain or even get in touch with a branch manager. Some objects include “we’re not interested”, “we don’t want to change our systems” and many more

What can I do at this point

Can someone pls point me in the right direction

Just curious who people are trying to contact (and how you go about it) that have real buying power when dealing with capital expenditures.

Mainly large machinery.

So I have this job selling metal buildings. I get my traffic through Facebook marketplace people message me, but I literally have not sold any of these buildings. I can also sell carports and but that’s peasant money. What I’m saying is I’ve had at least 10 people decently interested in buying a large building for me, but I can’t close the deal. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I might just be sending the price and then once they shot me out they realize that my company doesn’t have the lowest price so I need some new tactic to sell these buildings knowing that they’re not the lowest price. Somehow, I have to get across to them that the value of the buildings that we have and the quality. Any advice on how to actually sell these people not just give them a quote and wait for them to respond.

I work at a tech startup selling Al marketing software for small businesses) and converting free 7 day trials to paid plans.The company helps small businesses grow and stay consistent through a marketing automation/ Al tools platform. It works to build your instagram, facebook, and google business profile right now. It's $225 monthly or if you do a quarterly plan $155. It's stressful because in order to receive base you have to hit a certain amount of conversions a week. Almost everyone that got brought on before me or with me has left. Things are constantly changing and getting harder but I haven't missed a quota yet (only been there 3 months). Knowing that things are going to continue getting more challenging or even if it stayed at this level I need a more efficient way to convert people. I want to grow here but fuck sales is so anxiety inducing especially when there's pressure on you as a OG and your stressed if your gonna hit base. Any advice?

Edit:For the people, wondering why I’m still there.. like I said below I honestly feel like the people that have quit just weren't of quality. The pros to this job outweigh the cons, which is why l'm still here. I like working remote and they're pretty chill. I don't have too many team meetings and most of them are optional for me since I do what I need to unlike other positions where they are mandatory. What I'm trying to say is I'm rewarded the opportunity to work independently which is the main pro. I don't wanna just give up so that's why l'm asking for advice from people that can help

Hello,
I am an Inbound Account Executive (AE) in the fintech sector, currently 22 years old. Before i did some freelancing stuff on sales
Here are my recent achievements:
Q1 Achievement: 165% (during my ramp-up period)
Q2 Achievement: 160% (against an adjusted quota)
Total ARR generated so far is just under €400k.
I joined the company 6 months ago covering SMB ( but did close some mid market deal that made an inbound re quest ) but I am currently trying to transition into an outbound role (mostly driven by financial upside).
My questions and current challenges are:
A) Compensation / Bonuses: In my opinion, the bonuses are quite low, as the variable component is capped at €5k yearly (I am based in Europe).
B) Role Transition: My manager keeps telling me that I will move to outbound, but it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon because I am currently managing the entire inbound pipeline by myself.
C) Next Steps: What are my actual options right now? I currently make around €2.5k net as a base salary, reaching about €3k net with commissions (again, based in Europe).

Let me know what you think.

It’s uncomfortable but it works

This is not about building longer sequences.
It’s about what happens after someone replies positively.

If they say "yes," "sounds good," or "let’s connect," and then disappear, we follow up until we get clarity:

• A clear yes
• A clear no

Anything else is unfinished business.

And yes, that can mean 3, 5 or even 10 follow-ups.

There are usually only three real reasons for silence:

1. Something personal happened. Life happens. Business conversations pause.
2. Other priorities took over. Your offer is relevant. It’s just not at the top of the list.
3. They doubt it’s relevant. Fair. Take your time. I will still circle back.

How do you make follow-ups less uncomfortable? Add value every time.

A helpful resource, PDF, LinkedIn post or report. Give them a reason to re-engage.

This approach has brought us countless meetings.

I’m curious what people here are actually using to send proposals.

Not the “best proposal software” answer from Google, I mean what you or your team really use day to day.

Are you using PandaDoc, Proposify, Better Proposals, Qwilr, HubSpot quotes, Google Docs + DocuSign, or something else?

I keep seeing the same issues come up whenever proposal tools are discussed:
writing from scratch every time, messy content libraries, pricing tables, approvals, getting client feedback, signatures, and not knowing whether the prospect even read the important sections.

For people who send proposals regularly, what tool are you using right now?

And honestly, what’s the one thing about it that still feels more painful than it should?

most cold email advice floating around assumes your target is a VP of Engineering at some mid-market SaaS company. and honestly thats fine if thats your market. but about 9 of our 14 clients right now are selling into other B2B SaaS companies, and even within that vertical the advice breaks down fast when youre a bootstrapped startup with zero brand recognition trying to book meetings with people who get 47 cold emails a day from companies that look exactly like you.

we run a 2 person cold email operation out of denver. me and my VA who is based in the philippines and is honestly better at list building than i am at this point. $28k/mo in revenue across 14 clients, bootstrapped, no investors, learned everything from screwing things up and reading way too many threads on here at 2am.

the first problem that almost killed a few campaigns early on was targeting. sounds obvious right. but when your client sells, say, a pipeline analytics tool to series A and series B startups... the decision maker could be the founder, the head of growth, the VP of sales, or sometimes a director of demand gen who got hired 3 weeks ago. at bigger companies you know its the CRO or the VP of Sales and you move on. with startups the org charts are a mess, titles change every quarter, and half the people on LinkedIn still have their old title from 2 jobs ago. we burned through like 6 weeks of a client engagement early on just emailing the wrong people because we assumed "VP Sales" was always the right call. turns out at PLG companies under 80 employees the person who actually cares about outbound pipeline is often the founder or a head of growth who doesnt even have "sales" in their title. my VA and i started manually checking company size and recent hires on LinkedIn before building lists which slowed everything down but reply rates went from like 1.1% to around 3.8% once we got the targeting right.

the bigger issue though was enrichment and data quality when youre going after startups. these arent fortune 500 companies with 14 entries in every database. half the contacts at a series A company simply dont exist in ZoomInfo. i tried pulling lists from there for a client selling competitive intelligence software to vertical SaaS companies and got maybe 40% coverage on the contacts we actually wanted. we switched to running Prospeo for enrichment first, then filling gaps with Clay workflows for the edge cases, and that got us to a much better place. Prospeo found valid emails for about 80% of our target list which was a huge improvement. the remaining 20% we either got through Clay scraping LinkedIn profiles or just skipped. theres a point where chasing the last 15% of a list costs more in time than just building a fresh segment.

what really caught me off guard was the messaging piece. and i dont mean subject lines or whatever, i mean the actual value prop framing. when youre emailing a CRO at an enterprise software company, you can talk about pipeline coverage gaps and CAC payback periods and they get it immediately. but when youre emailing a founder at a 30 person startup who just raised their series A, they dont care about your ROI calculator. they care about one thing: are they going to hit the growth numbers they promised their investors. took me probably 4 months of mediocre results to figure out that the pain points are technically the same (churn, pipeline, competitive displacement) but the emotional framing is completely different. a startup founder losing 3 deals to a competitor in one quarter feels that in their chest. a VP of Sales at a 500 person company sees it on a dashboard. the emails that work for startups are shorter, more direct, and reference something specific about their situation. we started pulling recent funding announcements, new hires, and product launches as signal data and weaving that into the first line. reply rates on signal-based sequences are running around 4.2% to 5.7% depending on the client.

infrastructure wise we keep it pretty simple. Maildoso for inboxes, usually 3-4 per client depending on volume. Woodpecker for sending because the warmup is built in and my VA can manage campaigns without me babysitting. MillionVerifier for verification before anything goes out. Prospeo handles the enrichment step, Hunter if we need to cross-reference something that looks off. we track everything in... google sheets. i know. i know. we have a HubSpot account for one client who insisted but honestly for a 2 person team sheets just works and i can build custom tracking that does exactly what i need without paying $800/mo for a CRM we'd use 20% of.

oh wait i should mention the warmup thing. when youre sending to startup people, deliverability matters even more because a lot of them use Google Workspace and googles spam filters are aggressive right now. we warm every inbox for minimum 21 days, usually closer to 28 before sending any live campaigns. i tried cutting it to 14 days about 8 months ago because a client was impatient and we got 2 inboxes flagged within the first week of sending. not worth it.

the last thing that tripped us up was volume expectations. clients who are bootstrapped startups themselves want to send 5000 emails a week because they think more volume equals more meetings. and for some markets maybe. but when your total addressable list of series A SaaS companies with a head of growth or VP sales is like 1,200 people... you burn through that list in a month at high volume and then what. we cap most startup-focused clients at 40-50 emails per inbox per day, run 3 inboxes, and focus on making every email actually relevant. one client selling a churn prediction tool to vertical SaaS companies books 8-12 meetings a month off maybe 2,800 emails. thats a 0.3% to 0.4% meeting rate which sounds low until you realize each meeting is worth $3-4k in potential ARR to them.

anyway none of this is groundbreaking but i feel like the startup-to-startup cold email motion is different enough from generic B2B outbound that its worth talking about. the data is harder to get, the targeting is messier, the messaging needs to hit different, and the volumes are smaller by necessity. Prospeo plus a good VA who knows how to research is honestly 80% of the battle on the data side. the other 20% is just not being lazy with your copy.

ok this got longer than i planned and i have a sheet to update for a client before tomorrow morning so im gonna stop here

Small AI Agency owner here.

So far i've got just about 2 clients on other AI Automation solutions, all from upwork. Been doing cold calls for a while, and so far nothing's sticking because I keep hitting receptionists.

For the UK, i target tradespeople (electricians, plumbers etc). I've recently called about 30 plumbers. I've hit about 10 of them directly to sell AI Receptionists, while 20 are all receptionists themselves who will obviously decline the offer to speak to her superior about a tool that will replace her job.

The question is, are you all closing on actual tradespeople on AI receptionist? If you are, what's your pricing like, coz it seems the best offer that's worked for me is 400 GBP one time setup fee, and that's just a couple of prospects. Coz right now I'm thinking of switching niches to more high profile people (where the money is) like 'cosmetic surgeons' or 'real estate'

I am a founder of a new platform but I was in my industry as a marketer for a long time before I built this thing. While building the thing, we’ve asked warm contacts (the right role area and decision making) for feedback to make sure we were focused on the right things. Now we need to actually be selling. Yes I will go back to some of those feedback folks to try to get into a pilot or sell to. But also have a lot of LinkedIn contacts that I’ve worked with, have been building connections, etc. My question is: how do I sell to these warm connection folks? I believe in my product, we will be targeting certain ICPs and personas, but I have to say I’m shy about engaging with people who actually know me, “selling” — what does a pitch look like? Yes questions but I also want to show them my thing. You are probably rolling your eyes right now—with good reason! Yes, I need to learn about sales techniques, etc which I’m trying to do, I just wonder if you have any advice at the get go. Thanks.

I’m looking for advice on how to keep growing in sales from where I’m at now.
I currently work remote high-ticket sales, closing a $5,500 program, and I’m also finishing school. Because of that, flexibility is really important to me.
I’m not necessarily looking to jump into a new job right away, but I want to keep building my skills and setting myself up for better opportunities. My background is dental reception/patient communication/scheduling/insurance, and now high-ticket sales.
For someone still early in sales, what would you focus on next: outbound, prospecting, follow-up, closing, mentorship, a specific industry, etc.?
Also, would you recommend staying in high-ticket sales or exploring life insurance? I’ve heard mixed things and would love honest opinions.

I spent most of my adult life selling boring things to boring companies. Regional operators, industrial accounts, private businesses, logistics groups, companies where nobody cared about your LinkedIn bio or your “personal brand.” My best year was a little over $1.1M. I’m retired now.

Here’s what actually mattered.

Your first real skill is not closing. It’s being normal. A lot of salespeople are strange in front of buyers. Too loud, too polished, too eager, too fake. Customers can smell neediness. The best reps I knew sounded like competent people who happened to sell something. Calm wins.

Do not treat every account the same. Some accounts deserve war. Some deserve one email and a clean exit. Young reps waste too much time trying to “nurture” people who were never going to buy. Rank accounts fast. Budget, urgency, access, pain, timing. If none of those are there, move on.

The money is usually in ugly markets. I made more selling to businesses nobody talks about than I ever would have made selling trendy stuff. Warehouses, parts, equipment, materials, regional chains, operators, family-owned companies. Less glamour, more budget.

Do not try to impress buyers with how smart you are. Make their day easier. Most buyers are buried in nonsense. Late shipments, broken vendors, angry bosses, pricing issues, internal politics. If you become the person who removes problems instead of creating more of them, you get called first.

Follow-up is not “just checking in.” Never send that email. Send a useful update, a new price, a delivery date, a cheaper alternative, a risk they should know about, or a clear next step. If you have nothing useful, wait until you do.

The best question I ever learned was: “What happens if you do nothing?” Then shut up. You will find out very quickly if there is a real deal or just a person who likes talking.

Stop trying to be liked by everyone. Being liked helps. Being trusted pays. Some of my best customers were not warm people. They did not want lunch. They did not want jokes. They wanted accuracy, no surprises, and fast answers. Give people what they value, not what your manager says “relationship selling” means.

Take pricing seriously. Discounting too fast makes you look weak. It also tells the customer your first number was fake. If you move on price, trade for something. Volume, term, faster signature, better payment, a bigger rollout, something. Never give away margin for nothing.

If procurement says you are too expensive, ask compared to what. Compared to the current vendor? A quote from last year? A number their boss made up? “Too expensive” is not information. Make them define the comparison.

Your manager is not your customer. Hit your number, keep clean notes, don’t create chaos, but do not spend your whole week trying to make your manager comfortable. The market is outside the building.

My last job was Head of GTM at a large AI company, and I’ll say this: GTM is a very promising path. Good GTM is not just sales. It is positioning, pipeline, pricing, RevOps, customer segments, expansion, and knowing where revenue gets stuck. RevOps is especially underrated. A good RevOps person can see the business better than most executives. Old-school sales still matters, but the best people now understand the whole revenue machine.

Internal reputation matters more than you think. Operations, finance, customer support, shipping, legal, credit. These people can save your deals or quietly let them die. Treat them well before you need them. Don’t only call when something is on fire.

Never lie about delivery. You can survive a high price. You can survive a tough negotiation. You can survive losing a deal. You cannot survive being the rep who says “it will be there Friday” when you know it won’t. Bad news early builds trust. Bad news late destroys it.

Keep your own notes. Know your territory better than the company does. Who owns what, who hates which vendor, who is expanding, who is cutting budget, who pays fast, who is always a nightmare. The CRM is usually a graveyard of fake activity. Your private notes are where the real business lives.

Some territories are just better. Some reps are not better than you. They inherited better accounts, better geography, better timing, or a product people already wanted. Don’t cry about it, but don’t be naive. If the territory is structurally bad, fight for a better one or leave.

Lost deals teach more than won deals, but only if you ask the real question. Did they trust someone else more? Were you late? Were you talking to the wrong person? Was there never a deal? Did you misunderstand the problem? You need the truth, even when it makes you look stupid.

Big checks are dangerous. The first time you make real money, you will want to upgrade everything. House, car, trips, restaurants, watch, whatever. Don’t. Sales income can disappear fast. Comp plans change. Territories change. Companies get acquired. Your champion leaves. A cheaper competitor shows up. Live like the money can stop, because one day it will.

The best salespeople I knew were not motivational-poster people. They were patient, observant, consistent, and hard to rattle. They knew when to push, when to disappear, when to call, and when to leave the customer alone.

At some point I realized the job was simple, not easy.

Find real problems. Get to the person who owns the problem. Tell the truth. Make the next step clear. Follow through faster than expected. Repeat for decades.

That was the whole game.

Sales gave me freedom because I treated the money like freedom, not like proof I was important. I saved aggressively, invested early, avoided debt, and never assumed the good years would last forever.

The company can replace you. The customer can replace you. The market can humble you. But the money you keep is yours.

The more money you put away, the less fear you carry. The less fear you carry, the better you sell.

Good luck.

Hi, everyone!

For a while now, I’ve been sending cold emails to reach out to new potential clients.

I have a very good response rate of 12%.

I’m a copywriter, but the problem is that to achieve such a high rate, I used to write 10 fully personalized messages for each lead. That’s why I got such great responses.

Now I’m going to try to automate things a bit to reach more people, even if I lose some of that detailed personalization.

I’d like to create a prospecting strategy that includes:

- LinkedIn DMs
- Cold emails
- Cold calls

I’m not quite sure how to structure the strategy.

Should I first send a connection request > make a cold call > and if they don’t answer, add them to an email sequence?

I have some doubts and would like to hear outside opinions that can help me create this strategy.
