So last week I watched an AI close a deal

while I was sleeping and another AI wrote a follow -up that got like a 5 % response rate.

A third AI found the cell phone number of a fortune 500 CEO.

The robots aren't coming for our sales jobs y 'all.

They're here to make you superhuman.

And I'm about to show you 10 AI tools that made me question everything I thought I knew about sales.

And warning, after you see these, you're going to realize that you've been working 10x harder than necessary for 10x worse results.

All right, so let's start with tool number one.

This one is amazing.

So Instantly is gonna help you basically do your cold email.

It started as a cold email where you can do like inbox rotation and multiple domains.

So you're only sending like 10, 20, 30 emails per domain, which is gonna help you get to the primary inbox.

And so that is the goal, right?

And when people ask me about cold email, what they ask is, hey, how do you do cold email?

And a lot of people will say, oh, the subject line, the body, the CTA.

No, y 'all.

Here's the order of importance of cold email.

Number one, your infrastructure, which is going to help, which instantly is going to help you host, which is all those domains.

Then number two is the name that the email is coming from.

And then number three is the subject line and all that fun stuff, right?

So instantly is going to help you basically connect all those emails so that you can do inbox rotation,

send a crap ton native emails to your target list most importantly test emails

that work and then scale them right they started as inbox rotation

but now they have something super cool that i like super search

so you can they'll actually you can search for contacts

that you want with ai and then also get the emails in one place

and they have a waterfall with lead magic

which is a tool we'll show later prospio finding mail

and a few others in here and then you can see like your different campaigns

that you can run here so that's possible there you can see we're running some

that aren't doing so well and some that are working really well, right?

So that's good there.

Here's all the different email accounts that we have from our team.

And then of course, your inbox there.

If you want to get help setting up these domains, they have a service to do it.

You can also find someone on Fiverr to help you get that set up.

Or there's a couple of agencies that'll get to help you get that set up as well.

But here's what broke my brain, y 'all.

Clay.

It's like having 50 SDRs doing research.

You can put in, hey, I want VP of sales at SaaS companies in Texas.

Clay will find them almost like a spreadsheet look here, as you'll see here on the page.

It'll enrich the data with 75 different like waterfall data points.

So it's not just using one data provider.

It'll find their pain points from job postings and then write personalized emails based on all that.

So for example, you can say, Hey, Sarah, saw you're hiring five AEs this quarter.

Here's how we help similar teams in Austin, Texas.

Now y 'all, the important part about this is

that research you should take 20 minutes per prospect now it's automatic there's a ton of agencies

that can help you with this there is a huge learning curve however that's

because it is very powerful this one is borderline creepy

and i love it it's called lead magic and

so what you can do is upload any email

it can find their linkedin personal email cell phone social profiles

i found a ceo's number who's been ghosting me for six months right texted him meeting book is it aggressive?

Yes.

Does it work?

Also, yes.

Don't recommend doing that cold, but here's what's great.

You can just import a CSV.

It can scrape leads from different sources.

They have an email finder, a mobile phone number file.

You can validate emails too, like Million Verifier, find personal emails.

You can even give them a LinkedIn link.

And then from the LinkedIn link, they'll give your email.

So this is great for something simple where you want to get a ton of data.

That's actually great quality.

Some of the best quality data I think on the market today, if you're looking for something simple

and one data source there they're also the top item

or part of the top waterfall and clay which is great too

so you'll also be able to get

that data there all right now we have tool number four

which is distribute yes this is my tool

but this has changed how i think about follow -ups entirely full disclosure again i built this

because i was tired of decks dying

and no one has time to read 50 page slide decks let's be honest

so if the call ends what i do is i talk to the ai

and i say something like hey use ai create a one pager

for let's say i talk to liquid death here boom click next hit what kind of one pager

i want to create let's call it a business case

and then actually it syncs with gong chorus soon to be fathom

and then we also have our own call recorder there

so what you can do is basically say hey use my call recording with x person

or just input your call transcript as well

and this will help you create a personal one pager in 60 seconds

or less and then the magic here is that

when you send this off i see that john or sally

or laura opens it

when they read it who they forward it to it's like having x -ray vision into your deal

so your follow -up time again will go from something like three hours to three minutes and you increase

your close rates now this next one's special for a few reasons this is andy's linkedin tool yes believe it

or not this is me there you go you see me in the videos

and it's my secret weapon for warming up cold outreach it works

while you sleep y 'all what it has been done is

we've looked at tens of thousands of top linkedin posts

and what we did is we essentially every day send you a post that's been created for you

and for your business to put on linkedin right so

if you look here's a content calendar based on your business

we will actually write you a post every single day

100

and you don't even need to think right

101

we're gonna do it based on once again tens of thousands of posts what i love about it is

102

that you can say hey on mondays

103

i want a lead magnet post on tuesdays what i want to do is a how -to

104

or insights or contrarian or personal story post

105

and it's gonna switch up what it does for you every single day

106

so you're not doing the same kind of post over

107

and over so now we have a smart lead which is instantly his cousin it doesn't just send emails

108

It manages entire campaigns.

109

It's going to help you do all the automatic follow -ups, inbox rotation, so you have multiple domains.

110

You're not crushing your main domain, A -B testing subject lines, lots of API integration.

111

So if you want to use APIs in order to tie into your email campaigns, this thing is relentless.

112

I love it.

113

You can do a thousand emails a day, 10 ,000 emails a day.

114

Some people are going crazy, millions of emails a day.

115

I don't know if you need to send that many, but just to give you an idea, this is going to help you book meetings

116

and again meetings equals conversations right

117

and take a lot of the manual work out of it

118

smart lead is great super bullish on smart lead as well most people will try instantly

119

and smart meet and see which one works better for them

120

but both great tools for the cold email space

121

now this one fried my brain lindy is like having an ai employee in basically

122

you can build a bunch of agents super easily there's also n8n

123

and then there's zapier lindy is super easy to use i would say it's like the beginner 8 -8 -N

124

if you've ever heard of 8 -8 -N.

125

But what this allows you to do, I'll give you a couple examples that I use and I built a Lendi that watches my calendar, right?

126

So meeting prep alert.

127

So before 10 minutes before a calendar or a meeting starts, it sends me basically a detailed overview of who I'm meeting with

128

because we're doing lots of back -to -backs for distribute today.

129

And so what this will do is give me context of people

130

that I'm newly meeting with that I haven't met with before.

131

So this is awesome.

132

What it will also do is I have it sending a pre -eating meeting email and that'll give people my case studies.

133

That'll give people some testimonials about our product.

134

What that does is it helps increase the show rate, right?

135

So that people are excited to get in that meeting.

136

And then I also have another favorite here, which is like a invite not accepted.

137

So if you know someone has an accepted invite, it automatically emails them and say, Hey, are you coming to this meeting or not?

138

That way I'm not sitting around twiddling my thumbs, right?

139

Lindy is great.

140

If you don't want to do admin anymore for that stuff, think of how you can create a simple agent Linde to do that.

141

Now, another great one is actually Descript, which everyone that's doing content to do sales should use Descript.

142

I'm using it now to actually record this video.

143

So what you can do is record video and then edit that video like a document.

144

And then it has AI that'll make the sound good.

145

You can put text, you can put in animations, you can do anything just by editing text remove filler words create clips generate social content

146

so if you remember

147

that the voice of the customer content takes hours

148

now it's going to take you minutes now this next tool is next level

149

it is basically a way to identify who hits your website

150

and then it pushes you slack notifications with that

151

so it'll basically tell you who it is their email their linkedin

152

so you can go look at them and basically it gives you an idea of who may be in market or right?

153

Who may be checking out your solution so that you can then plug that into smart lead or instantly, right?

154

And typically these people have a higher response rate because they know what your solution is.

155

They probably found your website.

156

So this is amazing.

157

The constant is sometimes these people aren't in your ICP.

158

That's okay, but it's good to understand this stuff.

159

Shoot them a note on LinkedIn, add them on LinkedIn so that even if they're not in market,

160

you can nurture these people and basically be connected to them, give them your content if you're connecting on LinkedIn.

161

And then, you know, when they're ready to buy, guess who they're thinking about?

162

You.

163

Now, last but not least, we have Triggify.

164

And this one is gonna help you identify all of the people that comment on your LinkedIn stuff.

165

So I've showed you a lot of LinkedIn -based items, Andy's tool, right?

166

And then when you have people that are actually commenting on your stuff, you wanna know who they are, their email, all that fun stuff.

167

Because guess what?

168

Those people are potentially leads, right?

169

And so if you look here, what we can do is we can see everyone that's commented on my stuff,

170

who it's been, where they're from, their LinkedIn.

171

You can select these people and actually get their email and phone number as well.

172

So if anyone is in those ICPs, it's great.

173

What I do is I take all these and then I push them to Smart Leader instantly in one of my campaigns.

174

Hey, saw you like my content, let's chat. So.

175

Again, timing is going to be everything here.

176

You can then send them the right message, perfect timing, and a lot less effort than manually doing all of this stuff.

177

And here's what hit me, y 'all.

178

The best sellers in 2025 and the people doing the best go -to -market motions, they're not going to be the hardest workers.

179

They're going to, yes, work hard, but they're going to mostly work smart, right?

180

They'll be the ones who let AI handle the busy work while they focus on relationships.

181

And these 10 tools, they're not the future.

182

They're like right now.

183

You can go use them right now.

184

And your competition is already using them.

185

And I'd recommend starting with one.

186

And of course, because I'm biased, I'd say distribute because follow -ups are where most deals die.

187

And the link is going to be in the comments and description.

188

But honestly, just pick any one of these, y 'all.

189

Just stop doing manual work that AI can do better.

190

Now, your revenue targets aren't ever going to go down, but your effort can.

191

And so what we want to do is work smarter,

192

close more, enjoy your weekends and links to all 10 of these tools in the description down below.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
