Frequently Asked Questions

Is AI-generated outreach as effective as human-written?

When properly personalized with real data points (company news, LinkedIn activity, tech stack), AI-generated outreach performs on par with or better than human-written emails. The key is rich personalization data, not generic templates.

How many leads should I process per day?

Start with 50-100 leads per day to test and refine your ICP criteria and messaging. Once optimized, scale to 200-500 per day while maintaining quality.

What reply rate should I expect?

A well-executed AI lead gen workflow typically achieves 3-8% positive reply rates. Focus on quality over quantity — 50 qualified conversations per month can drive significant revenue.
