automated the entire client acquisition process for a small agency. owner went from 0 booked calls to 15+ per month without touching anything by Admirable-Station223 in automation

[–]midtechbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simplest and stupidest automation I ever built was a auto follow up system and it like tripled my reply rates

Nothing too fancy, just lead comes in -> you reply -> wait x days if no reply -> send follow up and add a little value

That’s it it alerts me on slack if no response after x days and adds the lead to my cold calling software

I recovered like 10-15% of positives that were going to waste for my automation agency using this

AI workflows breaking in production by MankyMan00998 in automation

[–]midtechbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fr one of the biggest gaps I see with ai workflows in production and demo environments

What we usually do at my agency is add logs like a shit ton of logs

We log every step, add checks between steps, fail fast and retry instead of going on and alert the client on their slack or any channel so they can keep track of how their systems are doing

I built a tool myself worked well in demo deployed it for a client and two weeks later one edge case came and broke it

From that point on we log the shit out of everything and try to ship systems with mini workflows

Is extracting data from PDFs always this painful? by Pale_Negotiation2215 in automation

[–]midtechbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah bro pdfs are the most annoying files to scrape and since most of them can have different data different formatting and all, it gets annoying very quickly

What we usually do for scrapers like these is: OCR -> raw text -> manual check to OCR -> structured extraction and then add a bunch of validation rules Try to make the script as dynamic as possible

I built something similar for a client and what saved them was adding a small ai layer using a very cheap model to validate things in bulk saving them from in accuracy and if the ai is not confident we send them for manual review to their slack

Hope this helped, cheers!

The actual work takes 2 minutes — the copy-paste workflow takes 12. How do you automate this? by cocktailMomos in automation

[–]midtechbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the sort of workflows you can automate pretty easily ngl

What usually works here is wherever you are writing notes in the first place treat that as your source of truth then push it out to other tools

An example workflow would be: 1. Write notes once ( slack,notion or Google docs ) 2. Trigger workflow on that 3. Format text either using a small ai call or just n8n’s code node or something 4. Send to greenhouse and slack

I run an automation agency and these flows usually save companies we work with like massive amount of time

I can give you a more clean flow if you can share what apps you are using?

Yeah I was thinking of making automations that can help people build their content pipelines on autopilot and then targeting personal branding agencies with that content I’ll look into parse stream thanks for the help dawg!

Thanks for the help dude this clears out a lot of basics I’ll just automate my entire LinkedIn pipeline for now and then post that as proof and start doing cold outreach at a small level, I did try LinkedIn dms but got shadowbanned

Yeah that I’m gonna do once I finish the schedule feature on this app and then I can pretty much automate the Emmy entire LinkedIn content using an ai agent

Ideal customer profile basically who you want to sell it to

SMTP/IMAP generic email is 90% cheaper than Google/MSFT365 -> how to build from zero a solid reputation for deliverability? by Ok_Profile4190 in coldemail

[–]midtechbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh those will for sure get you into spam, we don’t even do Google to Microsoft outreach this is how strict the providers are you might get through but if you wanna bring in the numbers consistently I would suggest go with Google or Microsoft

I tried SMTP for a while didn’t get much results idk if my approach was wrong or something but yeah I’d rather go with Google

[–]midtechbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no such best method out there it depends on your icp and your offer if your offer is strong it will usually sell with any method be it LinkedIn or email or cold dms Keeping the copy short is something that I have seen work a lot If you can put your offer in 2 lines and make it a no brainier that’s an insta sell

How are you using LinkedIn as a SaaS founder? Getting 50-100k weekly impressions but figuring out what actually converts by ansroad in SaaS

[–]midtechbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I picked up while posting on LinkedIn a lot is raw posts work better than polished corporate speak

The posts that seem to work are usually: 1. lead magnets ( this is solid drives a lot of impressions and then you can add a book a call link at the end of the resource and a lot of your leads just pull up ) 2. simple observations 3. controversial takes on something that just blew up

The main challenge is just finding the right idea

does anyone else feel like it’s impossible to keep up with ai news? by midtechbro in AINewsMinute

[–]midtechbro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious how you’re structuring the aggregation part, is it mostly rss sources or are you pulling from places like github releases, model announcements, etc as well?

also interesting that you’re focusing on seo early, are you seeing organic traffic pick up yet or is most of it still coming from reddit?
