Why it works
Cold email volume is up but reply rates are down because most outreach is templated spam. AI enables deep research at scale, yet only a human can spot a fake personalization signal and write a credible value proposition.
How it makes money
Monthly retainer
How to start
- Build a signal-based enrichment stack using LinkedIn, job posts and tech-stack data to find relevant triggers.<br>2. Use AI to draft personalized first lines and value props, but manually verify every claim against the source.<br>3. Charge a monthly retainer per 500 personalized emails sent, plus a bonus for meetings booked.<br>4. Monitor reply sentiment daily—AI cannot gauge sarcasm or urgency, so human triage protects sender reputation.
