🔧 Workflow

The daily workflow is: 1. Import prospect lists provided by clients or independently purchase industry prospect CSVs; 2. AI automatically crawls each prospect's LinkedIn activity from the past 3 months, official company website/funding/product launch news, and recent industry hot topics to generate personal personas and pain point hypotheses; 3. Generate a 3-5 step progressive personalized email sequence based on the persona, covering ice-breaking, pain point addressing, and value delivery; 4. Manually review each email for factual accuracy and natural tone to prevent hallucinations from causing factual errors; 5. Automatically send in batches via email delivery platforms, with AI classifying replies in real-time. Positive replies are automatically synced to the client's CRM with manual follow-up reminders. Input is a prospect CSV list, and output is a scheduled meeting calendar and valid prospect list.

⏱ Time Investment

3-4 hours per day

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Register a GetClaw account, purchase a professional B2B email domain, configure SPF/DKIM records, and send 10 test emails from your own mailbox to verify reply rates and delivery success rates. Step 2: Find local or online B2B SaaS or enterprise consulting clients, provide 5 free qualified meeting bookings as a trial run, and prove effectiveness with reply rate and meeting attendance rate data. Step 3: Sign a 3-month cooperation contract based on performance-based pricing, collect a 30% advance payment to lock in the client, and subsequently deliver and settle on a monthly basis.

🔑 Keys to Success

  • ✅ Research depth determines reply rate: AI must cover the prospect's LinkedIn activity over the past 3 months, recent company funding or product launches, and industry events to write emails that don't look like mass blasts
  • ✅ Email domain warm-up is crucial: For new domains, keep daily sending volume under 50 emails for the first 2 weeks, increasing gradually to avoid being flagged as spam
  • ✅ Manually review every email: AI-generated content may contain factual errors or unnatural tones, and must be individually checked before sending
  • ✅ Client prospect list quality determines delivery ceiling: Must be filtered through client confirmation or industry whitelists to avoid invalid research wasting API costs

⚠️ 风险

  • ⚠️ Email delivery domain reputation management has a learning curve; once flagged as spam, recovery takes 2-4 weeks, which may lead to client contract breaches
  • ⚠️ Client retention relies on meeting quality; low-intent meeting attendance rates below 30% will lead to client churn
  • ⚠️ AI research relies on the accessibility of data sources like LinkedIn; data source API changes require timely workflow adjustments
  • ⚠️ If using publicly scraped prospect data, there may be personal data compliance risks, and local data regulations must be confirmed in advance
