Let’s cut through the noise: most AI automation agencies fail because they’re stuck in 2019 playbook. Paid ads? Oversaturated. Content marketing? Takes years. Referrals? You need clients to get clients.
The secret sauce? Hyper-personalized outbound that feels like inbound. I’ve watched 23-year-olds in my community close $5k deals by sending 15 Loom videos daily. No fancy CRMs. No ad spend. Just raw, surgical outreach.
Here’s the kicker: decision-makers are drowning in AI pitches. Your generic “I can automate your workflows” email gets trashed. But a 2-minute video where you dissect their website’s lead capture form? That’s a foot in the door.
