Six months ago I was writing every outreach email by hand. About 15-20 a day. Taking 30-45 minutes total just on email. Now I spend about 4 minutes on the same volume. Here's the setup: 1. Any new lead hits my CRM 2. A Make.com automation fires, pulls their name, company, and the context of where they came from 3. That data goes into a Claude prompt I built: "Write a short, direct outreach email for [name] at [company]. They found us through [source]. Reference that. Keep it under 100 words. No fluff. End with one clear ask." 4. Claude writes the draft 5. I review it in 30 seconds and hit send The output quality is actually better than what I was writing manually because the prompt forces the right structure every time. Total time to set this up: about 2 hours. Time saved per week: 3-4 hours. The key was building the prompt right. Garbage in, garbage out. Once the prompt was dialed in, the automation basically runs itself. What's one thing in your business you're still writing from scratch every time that you could template and automate? Drop it below.

Had 47 leads sitting in my CRM untouched for 60+ days. Zero follow-up. Just dead weight. Built a simple automation last week: 1. Make.com scans my CRM every morning for leads with no activity in 60 days 2. Sends the list to Claude with context about each lead 3. Claude writes a personalized re-engagement email for each one 4. I review and send in about 10 minutes total Result: 3 booked calls from "dead" leads. One already closed. The craziest part? These people already raised their hand once. They were interested. Life just got in the way. You already paid to acquire them. Might as well get something out of it. What's sitting in your CRM that you've been ignoring?

Most people follow up 2-3 days late. Or never. That gap is where deals die. Here's the workflow I use to send a solid follow-up in 90 seconds, same day. Step 1: During the call, jot down 3-5 bullet points. What was discussed, what they care about, what the next step is. Rough notes are fine. Step 2: After the call, paste those bullets into Claude with this prompt: "Write a short follow-up email based on these meeting notes. Warm but professional. Include: quick thank you, 2-3 key points we discussed, the next step we agreed on, and a clear call to action. Keep it under 150 words. Notes: [paste bullets]" Step 3: Edit 10%. Send. That's it. The email goes out while the conversation is still fresh in their mind. You look organized. You look on top of it. And the next step is already locked in. I started doing this consistently about 6 months ago. My reply rate on follow-ups went up noticeably. Not because the writing is that different, but because the speed signals competence. Bonus tips: - Add match their email tone to the prompt if they were formal or casual - If it was a discovery call, ask Claude: What objections might they have based on these notes? - Save your best follow-up as a template in your Claude Project What does your current follow-up process look like? And how fast do you usually send it after a call?

Real example from my own workflow. Old way: Open Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube. Scroll for 45 minutes looking for topics. Take notes manually. Repeat next week. New way: 1. Ask Perplexity: "What are people in my niche talking about this week?" 2. Feed the results to Claude: "Pull out 5 angles worth posting about" 3. Save the best ones to a doc Total time: 20 minutes instead of 3 hours. The key was chaining the tools instead of using each one in isolation. Perplexity finds, Claude filters, I decide. What's something you're still doing manually that feels like it could be automated? Drop it below and let's figure it out together.
