Sanaf, the AI employee

An AI SDR

Prospecting is research, list building, writing, sending and following up, and only the last two look like sales. This job does the first three properly and hands you the replies. It never sends outreach whose shape you have not approved.

What it does

Concretely

  • Finds prospects and researches the companies behind them.
  • Builds the prospect list rather than handing you a filter to run yourself.
  • Personalizes outreach from the research, not from a merge field.
  • Sends the campaign once you have approved its shape.
  • Qualifies responses and books meetings, and hands every interested reply to a person.

Personalization is research, and research is the expensive part

Everyone knows personalized outreach works better, and almost nobody does it, because reading about a company before writing to them takes ten minutes per prospect and there are four hundred prospects. That arithmetic is the whole reason outbound email is mostly bad. Moving the research is what changes the output, not another template.

You approve the shape, not each message

The rule this job runs under is that it never sends outreach whose shape has not been approved. You review the sequence, the claims it is allowed to make and the way it opens, and then it writes within that. Approving four hundred individual emails is not a workflow anyone sustains, and approving none of them is how a domain gets burned.

An interested reply is a person’s job immediately

Every interested reply is handed to a person with the full thread and the research behind it. The handoff is the point: the moment a prospect engages, the thing that wins or loses the deal is a human reading carefully, and an automated system that keeps the conversation going past that point is optimizing the wrong step.

It will not invent a reason to write

Outbound that fabricates a mutual connection or a detail about the business is the fastest way to be remembered badly. The research it uses is real or the email does not claim it. That rules out some of the tricks that lift reply rates, which we consider the correct trade.

Questions

Frequently asked

Will this get our domain blacklisted?
That depends on volume, list quality and whether the sending infrastructure is set up properly, all of which stay your decisions. What this job controls is that outreach follows an approved shape and uses real research, which addresses the content half of the problem and not the deliverability half.
Does it handle the whole sales conversation?
No, deliberately. It prospects, writes, sends and qualifies the response, then hands over. Everything after the prospect shows interest is where deals are won, and it goes to a person with the research and the thread attached.
Where does it find prospects?
From the sources you connect, with Apollo and your CRM being common ones, and from its own research on the companies it finds. It builds the list rather than asking you to define a filter and export it yourself.
