Hi everyone! 👋 I've decided that cold email will be my primary prospecting channel in the construction industry. I've researched the strategy and some tools, but I've never created a sending system, so I would greatly appreciate the practical experience of those who do it daily. 3 questions: 1) Lead data: For a local/traditional niche, what allows you to obtain the email address of the decision-maker? Apollo, Hunter, Apify, or manual data extraction? 2) Email setup: How to achieve a good deliverability rate from scratch? Dedicated domain(s) + lead warm-up + which sequencer (Instantly, SmartLead, or another)? And what daily inbox volume should I aim for to avoid spam? 3) Response rate: What factor has most influenced your response rate: the copy, personalization, follow-up, or the offer itself? Does anyone have experience selling in the construction sector? I'd love to know what the differences are between these markets. Any input is appreciated 🙏

Can anyone who has used both Hermes and Openclaw tell me which one they recommend and what the difference is?

I switched Claude Code over to GLM 5.2 and ran it all day. It's a 756 billion parameter open source model you can route straight into the Claude Code harness for about five times cheaper than Opus, and for most of my knowledge work it held up fine. In this one I show you what it can build, where it beats Opus and where it doesn't, and exactly how to set it up so you can switch between models per project. Here's the config I use. Drop this into your .claude/settings.local.json and swap in your own Z.ai key: "env": { "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic", "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-z-ai-api-key-here", "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "", "API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3000000", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "glm-5.2", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "glm-5.2", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "glm-5.2", "ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL": "glm-5.2", "CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL": "glm-5.2" }
