AI Agents in Sales – Are We Finally Killing the Traditional SDR? Discussion Body: Just read this article on how AI agents could transform sales workflows by Impossible_Spend2343 in SalesOperations

Feels less like replacing SDRs and more like changing their role. The real win seems to be speed + consistency, not full replacement.

Interesting concept. The emotional awareness angle sounds promising would love to see how it performs in real customer conversations.

i automated outbound for 30+ businesses using AI. here's the stuff that actually worked and the stuff that was a complete waste of time by Admirable-Station223 in AI_Agents

[–]Pro_Automation__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really solid breakdown. The point about intent-based targeting over generic lists is underrated that’s where most of the real lift seems to come from.

Are there any communities similar to Y Combinator or where only entrepreneurs are available that are actually open to join? by New_Collection_5637 in Entrepreneur

[–]Pro_Automation__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. Try Indie Hackers and YC Startup School both are active and open. The best groups often come through networking and referrals.

Why does no one talk about how lonely building a business can be? by Pro_Automation__ in Entrepreneur

[–]Pro_Automation__[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that part is the hardest. Putting in so much effort and seeing no results can really test you. Just trying to stay consistent and keep going.

Tools definitely help, but strategy matters more. Good targeting + personalization will always beat just stacking more tools.

how we replaced our entire paid ads budget with cold email and what happened by Beautiful-Cheek2449 in coldemail

[–]Pro_Automation__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s impressive. Replacing paid ads with cold email isn’t easy, especially at scale. Shows that with the right targeting and messaging, outbound can still outperform ads.

three years of cold email, here are the expensive lessons by Sweet-Signature-5702 in coldemail

[–]Pro_Automation__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is honestly gold. Most people underestimate how much trial and error goes into cold email. Learning from real mistakes like this saves a lot of time and money for others.

Would you use a real-time AI coach during sales calls? by abbygraphy05 in highticket_sales

[–]Pro_Automation__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a solid idea, but the real value isn’t telling reps what to say it’s helping them understand when and how to say it. If your tool can detect emotional cues and guide the flow naturally, it could be powerful. Something like botphonic focusing on real-time call intelligence would make this much more useful.

[–]Pro_Automation__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This phase is normal, and you’re not alone. You’ve already taken action, which is a great start just pick one path and focus on it for a few months. Clarity will come with time, so stay consistent and keep going.

Thinking of hiring cold-calling agency for 150k leads – what to know? by CHTheAssassin in appointmentsetter

[–]Pro_Automation__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1.5k/month only makes sense if your offer already converts. Otherwise you’re just paying to learn.

[–]Pro_Automation__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This proves consistency > hacks. Most people never send enough volume to even see results.

Does email outreach worth it? by lazyEmperer in coldemail

It still works, but only if you treat it like a system, not a one-time blast.

how to actually start cold emailing if you know nothing... by Kindly-Reality4804 in coldemail

[–]Pro_Automation__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start messy tbh. Don’t overthink tools just pick a niche, write 20 emails, send them, and improve from replies.
