Here's what I decided after a attending a mind-shifting workshop from Morningside.
Real estate sprint (stopped at day 14 of 30):
839 requests sent
438 accepted (including the connection requests I accepted from different people)
119 messages
14 replies
1 call
0 clients before the sprint.
During it: 30 test emails, 18 disclosed follow-ups, 25 question-opener DMs. Strict positive replies: 1. Calls booked: 0. Clients: 0.
Why I stopped: The sample was too small and lopsided to read cleanly, and the fake-buyer test cost trust with some agents. After the AAA workshop, I decided to lead with an AI tools audit instead of a speed-to-lead pitch.
Audit-led offer, week 1: 48 warm messages sent, 6 replies, 1 call booked, 0 audits done (I have a discovery call later).
Next week’s target: 140 warm messages, 3 discovery calls, first audit scheduled.
