How to get your first AI automation client (who to message, the exact email, and the numbers) How to get your first AI automation client with cold email, set up the way that actually lands in the inbox. 1. Start small. In Hunter's data (31M cold emails), lists of 21–50 people got 6.2% replies vs 2.4% for 500+. Belkins: about one meeting per 6,000 emails, even for pros. 2. Pick ONE kind of business. Let AI build a list of 50 and find each one's leak from their website and reviews. 3. Never send from a free Gmail or the domain your invoices come from. Use a subdomain like hello.yourcompany.com with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up, and start with a few emails a day. 4. Every email: your real name, a real postal address (a PO box counts) and an easy way to say stop. In the US that's the law (CAN-SPAM). Outside the US, check your country's rules. 5. Two AIs: one writes (short, two real details, one question), one checks every draft against your rules and sends the generic ones back. 6. Turn off open tracking. Three emails total; follow-ups go out on their own and stop when someone replies. 7. When they ask "how much?": "Depends what it's costing you. Give me ten minutes." Once one email gets replies, scale the same machine with more lists of 50. #aiautomation #aiconsulting #aiagents #aiemployee #aibusiness - @pro.glitch
