🔧 Workflow

After an exhibition ends, batch import emails, titles, and company info obtained from business card OCR. The AI automatically crawls the prospect company's official website, recent news, and social media dynamics to generate an exclusive personalized opening hook. Emails are sent out in batches of 50-100 per day according to a pre-warmed corporate domain rhythm. Leads with positive responses are automatically tagged as high-priority and push notifications are sent via WeChat for manual sales follow-up. Unanswered emails automatically trigger two rounds of differentiated follow-up emails on day 3 and day 7. Weekly automated reports on lead activation rates, response rates, and conversion rates are generated. The entire workflow requires no manual operation per individual email.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Use n8n to build the full-chain workflow for business card information import triggering, AI background research, email generation, sending, and follow-up. Call the OpenAI API to complete prospect information crawling and email content generation, combine GetClaw's personalized content optimization capabilities to boost email open rates, and use Marketine's adaptive email sending function to mitigate domain reputation risks. Basic n8n workflow setup and API debugging skills are required. The overall setup cycle takes about 5-7 days, and zero-based beginners can directly reuse open-source templates for rapid deployment without complex coding foundations.

💰 Revenue

① Exhibition service providers and organizers pay per activated lead (main revenue): 80-120 RMB per valid reply × processing 1,500 business cards/month, 8% response rate ≈ 120 valid replies = about 12,000 RMB/month, with about 100% of monthly income coming from this channel (estimated based on case self-reports, unverified independently); ② Large-scale exhibition single-event settlement: additional revenue of 20,000-30,000 RMB per single exhibition, with an unspecified number of events undertaken per year, and the proportion of total revenue is also not provided (also a case claim, unverifiable externally); ③ Efficiency and volume boost: research and drafting compressed from 8-15 mins/email to 1-1.5 mins/email, response rate increased from 1-2% to 5-10%, 500 emails can yield 18-20 more meetings, supporting multiple exhibitions concurrently.

💸 Cost

Monthly fees for OpenAI API and GetClaw personalized interfaces are about 350 RMB, email sending platform subscription fee is about 300 RMB, annual fee for domain and corporate email resources is about 200 RMB, averaging a total cost of about 450 RMB per month.

⏱ Time Investment

Dedicate 2-3 days after each exhibition to complete business card cleaning, content generation, and initial launching; daily routine takes 0.5 hours to monitor email delivery status, reply to leads, and handle follow-up reminders.

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Contact local export trading companies and To B SaaS service providers that regularly participate in industry exhibitions, and offer to process 50 remaining business card leads from their previous exhibition for free. Prove the results with actually generated scheduled meetings/trial conversions, and then convert them into long-term cooperative clients charged by the number of activated leads.

🔑 Keys to Success

  • ✅ Email openings must match the prospect company's public updates from the past 3 months (such as financing, new product launches, business adjustments) to avoid being flagged as spam.
  • ✅ Sending domains need to be pre-warmed 7-10 days in advance, with daily sending volume controlled at 50-100 emails to maintain domain reputation scores above 90.
  • ✅ Manually take over within 15 minutes after receiving a positive response from a prospect, connecting to subsequent business communications to complete conversion and prevent lead leakage.
  • ✅ Differentiate the content of each round of follow-up emails; do not repeatedly send the same content to lower the probability of being flagged as harassment email.

⚠️ 风险

  • ⚠️ Sending domains are not pre-warmed or daily sending volume is too high, causing emails to be intercepted by email service providers, domain reputation to drop, or even getting banned.
  • ⚠️ AI-generated content contains factual hallucinations (such as mistakenly mentioning business areas that the prospect company has not engaged in), triggering customer aversion.
  • ⚠️ If emails contain sensitive industry promotional vocabulary, it may trigger email service provider risk control, leading to restricted sending permissions.

📌 Real Cases

  • 📌 A domestic exhibition service provider used this system in 2024 to process 1,200 exhibitor business cards at the Canton Fair, activating 96 leads, facilitating 18 intentional orders, and generating an additional 52,000 RMB in revenue from a single exhibition.
  • 📌 A To B SaaS sales team used this system to follow up on 400 business cards collected at an industry summit, increasing the response rate from 1.8% to 7.8%, acquiring 23 paid trial customers, corresponding to contract amounts exceeding 320,000 RMB.
  • 📌 Referring to Marketine's AI EDM adaptive delivery logic combined with GetClaw's personalization capabilities, this system has helped 30+ small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises activate dormant exhibition leads, with an average response rate of 7.5%.
