Hey everyone! I’m planning to start a cold emailing campaign targeting different countries in Europe, and I have a couple of questions I’m hoping you guys could help me with: 1. Language: Should I be writing my emails in the local language of the country I’m targeting (like German for Germany, French for France, etc.), or is it better to stick with English all the way? I’m curious about what works best in your experience—like, do you get better responses when you use the local language, or is English good enough? 2. GDPR Stuff: I know GDPR is a big deal in Europe, but I’m not totally sure how it affects cold emailing. What do I need to do to make sure I’m not breaking any rules? Has anyone run into any problems with GDPR when cold emailing, like legal issues or complaints? Would love to hear how you dealt with that if it happened. Thanks for any tips or advice you can share!

If anyone's interested, I just wanted to share something we recently built. 😊 We are a small team, and I’ve just wrapped up my first $5,000 project—pretty excited about that! 🎉 I developed a make.com automation that integrates with various lead sources (Typeform, Facebook Lead Ads) and engages leads via WhatsApp using the AI chatbot. The system categorizes leads by priority, automates initial interactions, and routes high-priority leads to sales reps with notifications through Slack and email. Now that I’ve built this, I’m looking to sell it to more clients. Since I’m not the best at sales, do you have any advice on how I could get this out there. Maybe through cold emails? Really appreciate any suggestions. Also, if you could like or comment on my LinkedIn post about this, I’d really appreciate the support: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mihajelenc_automation-smartautomation-aileadmanagement-activity-7232265251780509696-1HYD?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Hi everyone, I'm exploring options for starting my AI automation agency and could use your advice. I'm considering two paths: 1. Creating My Own Platform: Developing a custom solution for both voice and chat AI assistance, plus an additional service for managing outbound and inbound calls. 2. Using a White-Label Solution: Opting for an existing white-label solution that covers these needs and branding it as my own. I'd appreciate your thoughts on: - The pros and cons of each approach. - Any recommendations for white-label solutions that are well-regarded in the industry. Thank you!

[I originally wrote this as a reply to a post, but since many people expressed interest in the topic, I’m making it a standalone post to help others with similar questions.] A common question is, "How do I price my Voice AI services?" There are a few different strategies you can use for this. The most common one is Cost-Plus Pricing: Cost-Plus Pricing: Here’s the basic math: - Cost per minute * 60 = cost per hour - Example: VAPI @ $0.16/minute * 60 = $9.60/hour cost If we’re selling a 10-hour/month plan, our cost is: - COST: $9.60/hour * 10 hours = $96.00 per 10 hours per month Then we add our markup. A typical human call center can charge $1.00/minute or more, so the cost of 10 hours of a human call center service would be: - HUMAN COST: $1/min * 600 minutes (10 hours) = $600 per month for a human call center. So, we could apply a 400% markup and still be cheaper. A 400% markup means the selling price is 4 times the cost. For every $0.16 in cost, the selling price would be $0.96, resulting in an $0.80 profit. ($0.96 price - $0.16 cost = $0.80 profit). - OUR PRICE: $96/mo cost * 400% markup = $384 per month Customer Price. Now let’s add some pricing psychology. Let’s round it up to $400, then use the "ends with a 7" trick to make it $397/mo, so it "looks" less than $400. So, we have a monthly price of $397, which costs us $96, resulting in a profit of $301 per month per client. PACKAGING YOUR PRICING: Now that you have your cost and price, let’s package it up. You could structure this in a few different ways for a customer contract: 1) Monthly Fee with Maximum-Minutes Cap Offer something like: "Our Starter service costs $397/month and includes up to 600 minutes (10 hours) of inbound calls per month. Any minutes above 600 are billed in 60-minute (1-hour) blocks at $60/hr." Benefit: If the customer uses more than 10 hours, you’re covered and make more money. But if they use under 10 hours, everything they don’t use is pure profit for you.

Hello team 👋 Just wrapped up a cool project and thought I'd share the love. We whipped up a WhatsApp chatbot for a law firm in Paris. Nothing crazy, just a neat little 1500$ gem that's gonna make their life way easier! 😎 The cool part? We used Relevance AI (as usual), hooked it up to Zapier, and bam - it's handling appointments all by itself in Google Calendar. The client's over the moon and already brewing up ideas for what's next. As always, if you're itching to tinker with something similar, I'm sharing the goods! Feel free to grab it, tweak it, have fun with it. Any questions? Ideas? I'm all ears and curious to hear your thoughts! Alright, have a great day everyone, and catch you on the next innovation wave! 🚀 https://angelic8315.gumroad.com/l/hfqgqa
