Earlier this week I showed you the AI phone system local businesses happily pay $299/month for.

The #1 question since: “Okay, but how do I get a business to say YES?”

Cold email. Here’s the exact one to send.

The template:

“Subject: missed calls at [Business Name]

Hi [Name] - I called [business] Tuesday at 2pm and got voicemail. So did every other customer who called that hour.

I set up AI receptionists that answer every call, book appointments, and text back missed callers automatically. Most local businesses lose over $1,000/month to missed calls - I fix that for $299/month.

Want me to set up a free demo line for [business] this week? Reply DEMO and it’s live in 48 hours.”

Why it works:

It talks about THEIR missed revenue, not your service. You did homework (you actually called them). And the ask is stupid-easy to say yes to: a free demo, zero commitment.

The objection you WILL get: “We already have someone answering the phone.” Your reply: “For the calls after 6pm and on Sundays too?” Silence. Then a demo request.

Send 10 of these Monday morning. Two replies is a normal result. One client covers the cost of the whole system 10x over.

Talk soon,

P.S. When they flinch at the price, reframe it: “It’s $10 a day to never miss another customer.” Watch the objection melt.
