  • AI For Personalized Outreach
    Nov 11 2025

    Generic emails are dead. If your outreach still sounds like a mass-blast, you're leaving deals on the table.

    In this power-packed episode, we dive into the secret weapon of top-performing ad sellers: a human-AI hybrid workflow for hyper-personalized prospecting that cuts through the noise and guarantees buyers think, "Wow, this person gets it."

    You'll learn the 3-step system that uses secure AI tools like Gemini to instantly transform public company data (like a press release) into an impossible-to-ignore piece of outreach in under two minutes.

    Here's the Zen you'll master:

    • 🔍 Step 1: Find the Pain, Not the Hook. Learn how the RIGS Method leverages AI as a Competitive Intelligence Analyst to identify a prospect's most significant unaddressed market challenge.
    • 💡 Step 2: Develop the Insightful Hook. We change the AI's role to a Chief Strategy Officer to translate "analyst-speak" into three distinct, high-level opening lines that are free of cheesy sales jargon. (Guardrails are key here!)
    • ✉️ Step 3: Draft the Perfect Email Body. Discover the final AI role—a Modern Ad Sales Executive—and the simple guardrails for drafting a concise, value-focused email that moves the conversation forward, complete with a high-converting, low-pressure Call To Action.

    This isn't theory—it's an actionable workflow that puts the human seller's insight (your target and your proposition) right alongside the AI's speed and analytical power. Ready to bring the Zen and let AI handle the grind?
