Run the outbound prospecting week while a salesperson handles replies
A consultant has deployed Hermes Agent prospecting systems for several clients, including consulting firms and web agencies. The agent builds LinkedIn and email sequences, reads replies and escalates warm leads, while the salesperson keeps the conversations that matter.
What they did
Each Monday the salesperson defines the segment, positioning and angle with the agent, which turns them into Sales Navigator filters. The agent then creates a multi-step Lemlist campaign through its MCP server: connection request, message on acceptance, email enrichment, follow-up email. When a prospect replies, Lemlist posts to Slack, the agent reads the thread and either books the next step or flags it for the salesperson, and every morning it sends a status report.
What happened
The consultant says cost per lead is below what they see on other channels, and salespeople spend their time on conversations instead of logistics.
Keep in mind
The author builds these systems for clients, so this is partly promotional, and no client names or lead numbers are given. The salesperson still builds and imports the target list by hand.
Try it with your agent
This week we are targeting <job titles> at <company type and size> in <region>, with the angle <your offer>. Turn this into search filters for <your prospecting tool>, then draft a sequence: connection note, message after acceptance, and one follow-up email. When someone replies, summarize the thread, propose the next step, and hand anything warm to me instead of answering it yourself.
Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
