Full Transcript

What if you could research local businesses, identify and qualify leads based on the product or service you're offering, and then have a personalized pitch email drafted and ready to go in a matter of minutes. I'm going to show you a surprisingly simple yet powerful AI based automation that allows you to do just that, saving hours of tedious work so you can focus on creating value for your clients and for your business. If you like this video, please like and subscribe and sign up for the viable edge newsletter at viableedge.com or using the link below where I'll be sharing a lot more stuff just like this. If you want the prompt or a more detailed walkthrough, please leave a comment and I'll share a guide with you. This workflow is based on Claude. We're going to be using the regular Claude desktop app to do the research and identify leads. Claude will then make a call to the N8N platform using the MCP server trigger. Once Claude sends that data along, N8N will create a new record in an air table sheet of that lead. And if that lead meets a certain threshold, in this case, it needs to have a lead score of eight or better on a scale from 1 to 10. N8 will then check that air table for new records every few minutes. And if it sees a new record with a lead score of eight or above, it'll draft an email and leave that email in my Gmail drafts folder. So, while this may look complicated, once you work with N8N for a little while, it's very easy to understand. It's obviously very visual and creating automations like this is a powerful skill that you can apply to many different aspects of your business once you wrap your head around all of the opportunities. I already have my prompt included. Again, if you want this prompt, please leave a comment. This prompt is designed to do all of the research based on the criteria that I set, selling digital services to small and local businesses. The prompt will ask me for the type of business and the location, and then it'll go. So, let's see it in action. The only information that I have to enter after the prompt is the type of business and the location that I should focus on. So just picking randomly veterinarians in Charleston, South Carolina. Now Claude is going to go out identify potential leads based on the qualifications. Part of the qualifications are having a valid email address. All right. And we can see that Claude has identified leads and they're starting to hit our air table. We've got one, two new records here. Now let's see, are there more? Yep, we got three records. The prompt has finished and Claud has done its research and identified three prospects that fit the qualifications of veterinarians in Charleston, South Carolina. Now, if I scroll over here, I can see that I have my lead score of 8, seven, and nine. So, these two, the eight and the nine, because they fit the criteria that I set for outreach, we'll have an email drafted. And it looks like we already got this email, cut admin time at Hampton Park Veterinary. Now, if we look at my drafts folder, the new email draft should be hitting any moment. Let's maybe just refresh that. Well, there it is. And there's the email with the email address, subject line, and the body. I noticed Hampton Park's commitment to exceptional pet care, but wondered if your team spends too much time on manual paperwork and scheduling rather than with animals. Our AI system automates client intake. So, you can see how this is an extremely powerful workflow that can generate potential clients in minutes and save you a ton of time. And if you wanted, you could even have the email sent automatically as well. But it's always smart to have a human in the loop. So again, if you're interested in the material, please leave a comment. I'll share the prompt and a detailed walkthrough on how you can build this yourself. I encourage you to experiment, have fun, and explore the different possibilities of how AI can streamline your business and enable you to deliver more value while saving valuable time. Hopefully, it's clear how simple AI automations like this can have a huge impact on your business and unlock a lot of time so you can focus on doing the things that deliver value and less time on the tedious things that just take up your time.
