I recommend my clients not to use this AI agent I built

I built an appointment setter AI agent for my clients. But I recommend that they not use it. (At least not without some editing) At low volumes, you can run it for free...

I read it, change a few words, adjust the tone, and sometimes rewrite the ending. Then I send it. The whole thing takes about 1-2 minutes per lead instead of 10. But here's...
Everyone is looking for the perfect DM script. The right words. The right length. The right emoji placement. As if somewhere out there is a magic sentence that unlocks every reply. I've sent thousands of cold DMs. The ones that work don't have better words. They have better attention behind them. When I DM an agency founder, I'm not looking for something to compliment.
