#351 Max: Stop Sending Cold Emails (The 7-Day $1.5k AI Agency Framework)

Here is the hard truth about 2026: Your advanced n8n and Make workflows are completely worthless if you sound like every other commoditized AI vendor begging for a retainer. Sending 450 automated cold emails a day isn’t a "sales strategy"—it’s just annoying people at scale and burning your reputation. 🛑

We’re breaking down the exact 7-Day Client Framework used to pivot from zero responses to closing a $1,500 automation deal and a $2,000/month recurring contract in under two weeks, all without spending a dime on ads.

We’ll talk about:

The "Commodity Trap": Why pitching generic "AI Templates" guarantees you lose on price, and the exact psychological shift to position yourself as a revenue partner instead of a tool builder.The 7-Day Sprint: A day-by-day breakdown of mapping 20 warm contacts and using the "Free Pilot" strategy to land your first client without needing a massive portfolio.n8n & Make Automations: How to build high-ROI friction removers (like CRM syncs and AI-driven FAQ chatbots) that businesses will actually pay $1,500+ for.Curing "Pricing Paralysis": Why asking for a $3,000/month retainer on day one kills deals, and the exact sequence to naturally upsell a one-off project into a $2,000/month recurring contract.The Rejection Loop: Escaping the volume trap by extracting specific pain-point vocabulary from your warm pilots to drastically increase your future cold outreach conversion rates.
