Imagine you are a service based company or a freelancer who constantly wants to make connection and increase your network for better opportunities or a job seeker who want to get more visibility among companies for better opportunities then the best way to get more opportunities is by sending cold emails to companies or organizations.
Cold email is a marketing strategy where a person or organization sends emails to potential clients or customers who haven’t expressed prior interest in their product or service. The main goal of cold emailing is to initiate contact and generate interest of leads.
To get more replies and interest from your leads, you need to first research about the different domains and different leads in those domains. You can’t send a same email to everyone because if you are selling any service then you must target different domains differently to make more impact and your leads can relate to your service. It is also very important with additional emails to encourage them to take action after sending your first cold email.
There are many services to manage your cold email workflow for example smartlead and instantly but these software does require some manual setup. Also you have to reply to every lead manually even if it is a small question which can be answered by any bot.
Even if you create a basic bot using any scripting language for this flow which can be triggered for every email message then still it won’t be that much impactful for your leads because as we discussed above, we need to give personal touch to every conversation because in cold email, you are interacting with lead to get an opportunity and to make a good impression you have to handle every email carefully and that’s why you can’t have a basic bot to handle this job for you because it can’t talk in a way that you talk generally in your email conversations.
Now imagine you have written a very good email which increased the reply rate for you and now you are getting so many replies and as a good CEO or freelancer you want to answer every email to make the best impression 😎 but it is taking too much time for you and you can’t focus on other things in company rather than replying to your emails. But what if i tell you that you can have a custom autonomous AI agent who can talk like you, reply to your emails and also classify your emails for you, sounds great right? 👀
In this blog, we are going to automate this exact email replying workflow for rohan who is CEO and founder of Ionio so we will create a autonomous AI agent completely from scratch which can reply to his emails in his tone and also classify his emails based on conversation so let’s start 🚀!
Let’s take a look at workflow of our agent 🔁 !
The agent will take the campaign id and the csv file of lead emails whom you want to reply. Once that is provided, it will first classify the emails based on the conversation and if the email is positive or needs reply then it will construct a reply for that. Generally we don’t need to reply for negative emails or blank emails so this classification will help us to find the category of email.
We will require 4 tools for this workflow:
