Have two Grok Bots set up cold-email outreach and research local leads you approve

Instantly inbox warmup summary from the author's post: 151 warmup emails received, 21 sent, 0 saved from spam

@drevoudouriss is using two Grok Bots to find web-design clients. One helped buy a separate outreach domain, set up Google Workspace and email authentication, and connect it all to Instantly. The other researches small Toronto businesses with outdated sites, weak online stores or no site, and logs contacts and opportunities in a spreadsheet. The first bot drafts a personalized email per lead, and the author approves each one before Instantly schedules it. So far: 23 leads and a new inbox warming up; sending starts late October.

Try it yourself

What you get

A researched lead sheet and personalized first emails you approve, sent from a separate warmed-up domain.

Tools

  • Grok Bot (two bots)
  • Google Workspace
  • Instantly

Time / cost: Author: 23 leads so far; plans 20 to 30 emails a day from late October

Steps

  1. Have one bot handle setup: outreach domain, Workspace inbox, email authentication, sending tool.
  2. Have the second bot research leads into a sheet with one improvement idea each.
  3. Draft short first emails: one observation and a soft ask, no mockups or prices.
  4. Review and approve each email; only reply-handling needs you after that.

Copy-ready prompt

Find [NUMBER] small businesses in [AREA] that [VISIBLE PROBLEM, e.g. have no website or an outdated one]. For each, add a row to [SHEET]: name, site, the business contact email listed on their own site, what's weak and one specific improvement. Then draft a 3-sentence first email per lead: one specific observation about their site, one line on who I am, and a soft ask for a quick chat. No mockups or prices. Don't send anything; I'll approve each email.

Prompt written by AgentPlays, based on @drevoudouriss’s post. Check the output yourself and approve before anything is sent or bought.

Watch out: Follow anti-spam law where you send (for example Canada's CASL or the US CAN-SPAM Act): honest sender details and an easy opt-out. No results are in yet.

In their words

My second agent, researches small businesses around Toronto with outdated websites, weak online stores, or no website at all. It finds their contact emails and identifies opportunities to improve their online presence. Everything goes into a spreadsheet with the business details, contact information, and potential opportunities.
