Automating cold outreach emails.

I organise an event for people who run agencies in London (www.agencysummit.co.uk). I use bots to find relevant people on LinkedIn, and then pay somebody on Fiverr to find their email addresses. Then, I put them into Reply.io and send short two sentence emails asking people if they'd like to check out the event.

It works. Two or three times a day, I get push notifications telling me somebody I've never met has bought a ticket.

Without a cold outreach system like this, there's no way I'd be able to run this business.





"You can send marketing emails or texts to companies." Am I missing something?
