Why it works
Generic outreach has stopped working and genuine research does not scale, so the value sits in the one verified detail per account - which is also the part that breaks if AI is allowed to invent it.
How it makes money
Per deliverable + retainer
How to start
- Pick one segment narrow enough that you understand its problems.
- Build the list in Apollo with the firmographic filters the client sells against.
- Research each account for something specific and recent - a hire, a launch, a filing.
- Verify that detail on the company's own site before it goes in an email.
- Draft the opening line from that detail with Claude, keeping the rest of the sequence fixed.
- Cut anything that could have been sent to any company on the list.
- Send in small batches and read the replies rather than the open rates.
- Honour opt-outs immediately and keep the sending domain warm.
- Comply with the recipient's jurisdiction, not yours.
- Report replies and meetings booked, never emails sent.
- Charge per account researched, since that is where the work actually is.
