A cold outreach agency at $58,500 a month runs on three plain agents, not an AI setter

He runs a B2B cold outreach agency at $58,500 a month in recurring revenue. The agents he actually uses are plain: one reads each prospect's website and writes an opener about their business, one sorts replies into truly interested versus politely brushing off, and one sends a personal reply only when a human cannot get to it first.

How it works

  1. An agent reads a prospect's website
  2. It writes an opener about that business
  3. Replies come in
  4. A second agent sorts real interest from brush offs
  5. A third replies personally only if no human can get there first

Why it’s worth knowing

His point cuts against the sub he posted in: the money is in agents doing the reading, while humans keep the conversations that convert.
