The cold email that gets a reply, and the machine behind it.

Hi, this is Hridyesh. I am a Software Developer and I also run an AI automation agency. Many clients on monthly retainers from Germany, Switzerland and India. And today I'm giving away everything which works for me.

Why? Because I'm a fan of Alex Hormozi's philosophy: give away the secrets, sell the implementation. And genuinely, I just like helping people. Let's get into it.

SL: {{firstName}}, check {{companyName}} rn Hey {{firstName}}, Picked up “{{BestSellerProduct}}” from your site last week. While I was there, I noticed {{Monthly Traffic}}+ people visited your site last month but {{Bounce Rate}} of them left within {{Time On Site}}. Doing the math your conversion rate is probably way lower than it should be for the traffic you're getting. So, I stayed up and built a custom AI agent for {{companyName}} that captures sales the moment buyers are ready & handles support. It's yours. Already built & trained. Reply and I'll hand it over. Best, Hridyesh Gupta

Hey Marie, Picked up “scallop sunglasses” from your site last week. While I was there, I noticed 21,627+ people visited your site last month but 47.16% of them left within 1m 1s. Doing the math your conversion rate is probably way lower than it should be for the traffic you're getting. So, I stayed up and built a custom AI agent for recessla that captures sales the moment buyers are ready & handles support. It's yours. Already built & trained. Reply and I'll hand it over. Best, Hridyesh Gupta

A wise man once told me a story.

Imagine you knock on someone's door trying to sell them something. The moment they open it and you launch into your pitch no matter how good your offer is they shut down. They're not listening. They're already looking for the exit.

Now imagine this instead.

You knock on the door. They open it. You say “Hey, I was just walking past your car and some kids playing cricket just cracked your window.”

Suddenly they're panicked. They're rushing outside with you. They're engaged. And when you say “I know someone who can fix this” it doesn't even feel like a sale. It feels like you saved them.

That's the entire philosophy behind this script.

I'm not knocking on their door selling something. I'm showing up with their own data their traffic, their bounce rate, their time-on-site and connecting those dots for them. The problem was always there. I'm just the first person who made them see it.

But the script is only one piece. Here's the whole system.

Here's something I did that most people never do. I personally asked every single one of my clients and every prospect I ever spoke to how many cold emails do you get per day?

Every. Single. One. Said 200 to 300+ per day.

And almost all of those emails are coming from the same Apollo lists, the same ZoomInfo databases, the same templates. If you go on YouTube right now and search how to get leads every single person says Apollo. Every single person. That means every business owner is getting hammered by the exact same kind of email from the exact same kind of person with the exact same kind of offer. They've pattern-matched it. They can spot it in 2 seconds. And they ignore it no matter how good the offer is.

I had the common sense to never do what everyone else was doing.

I built my own custom scraper. It pulls only Shopify stores with high traffic. 100% ICP. Pure precision outreach.

And before you say it “okay cool but this only works for e-commerce, your offer is different, my niche is different, blah blah blah.” Shut up.

It took me years to figure out this formula for e-commerce. The same exact process applies to every single niche. I also provide cold email as a service. I target completely different industries like recruitment. And I still get the same kind of reply rates because I figured out my own formula for each one. Every niche is different. Every ICP is different. You need to actually understand that.

For e-commerce I built this scraper. If I had to target another niche tomorrow I would build a completely different scraper to extract only my ideal customer profiles for that niche. I'm an AI automation expert I can build anything I imagine. And if I don't have a specific skill I hire someone who does. I've hired people from China who extract hyper-precision data like people who searched a specific keyword on Google at a specific time. That kind of precision. There are so many ways to get the right leads. What I showed you is just one of them. Keep experimenting. Keep trying different ways. There is no single path.

The variables in that script {{Monthly Traffic}}, {{Bounce Rate}}, {{Time On Site}}, {{BestSellerProduct}} those aren't manually researched. I built an AI automated pipeline that scrapes SimilarWeb data at scale and formats it directly into my email variables.

Getting this data accurately was almost impossible. Most tools give you complete bullshit inaccurate values, wrong numbers. So I reverse engineered everything. I went through so many tools, so many failed attempts. And finally I built my own system that bypasses every security layer and pulls the real data. That system took me months to build. It's one of my best inventions and I built it purely for myself.

This one line changes everything.

There is no call ask. No commitment. No risk on their side. Just reply and get a free custom AI agent built specifically for their business.

And the moment they reply my backend system researches their business from A to Z, understands everything about it, builds a production-ready custom AI agent, generates a full landing page, and sends them the link all within 3 minutes.

And I want to be clear this free agent is not some dummy demo. It actually provides real value. If they take it and run it themselves they're genuinely getting something good. That's intentional. Speed to lead. They're interested right now. I deliver value right now. That's the game.

And the link I'm sending is not just the free AI agent. It's a landing page that converts them into a booked sales call instead of me manually sending a calendar link later. That's another conversion layer built right into the lead magnet itself.

This is the part nobody ever talks about.

When someone replies not interested my system still automatically sends the free AI agent link. Custom built for their specific business. Like - but here's something we built specifically for you.

And I cannot tell you how many times that single move flipped a completely dead conversation into a booked call. The lead magnet is the only thing I have ever seen that converts a genuine no into a yes without any argument. It's unbelievable every time it happens.

When a warm lead asks for the price and you give the number you lose them. Every time. I know this from experience.

So now I say:

“Totally fair. Two options you keep the free AI agent forever and implement it in your business yourself, completely free, I'll even set it up personally for you. Or if your real goal is to actually double your conversion rate that's custom work and I can only do that properly on a call.”

Now they are not choosing between you and ghosting you. They are choosing between two options you gave them. And they almost always book the call.

One of my clients went from a 1.5% conversion rate to 3%. That's literally doubling their sales.

And here's the thing about that. What happens if they remove my AI agent from their business? They lose all those sales overnight. They know it. I know it. That's why not a single client cancels. I made my monthly retainer so strong and so tied to their actual results that removing it would be stupid. That's the offer. That's the performance.

I only send 9 cold emails per day per inbox. Yes that's low. I know I could send 15 or 20. But I will not risk my deliverability for anything. My warmup runs at 20 emails per day. My one obsessive goal is to always land in the primary inbox, never spam.

My open rates are very high because I make the subject line pure curiosity. It's clickbait but when they open it the first line in email always justifies. That's the difference.
