We deployed 20+ AI agents & replaced our entire SDR team at SaaStr itself. 60K hyper-personalized emails. 70% open rates on ghosted leads. 15% of London ticket revenue from AI alone. The 5 things that actually work: 1️⃣ AI crushes the work humans refuse to do (small leads, follow-ups, "not worth my time" leads) 2️⃣ "Pretty good" emails at scale beat inconsistent brilliance—aim for average SDR quality with 24/7 consistency 3️⃣ Train agents like your best new hire: nail it with humans first, then hand off 4️⃣ Segment ruthlessly—800-1K contacts max per campaign, never blast your whole database 5️⃣ You need exactly 2 humans: a forward-deployed engineer from the vendor + a GTM nerd on your team Biggest mistake? We left 15% of revenue on the table for 6 years because humans wouldn't do the work. AI doesn't discriminate
