The team was not short of a market; it was short of the hours needed to research it. ## 02 — What we built The profile came first: which companies had actually closed, what they had in common, and which signals said the need was live now. Then the agents — list building, enrichment, first touch, reply qualification — and the panel where every lead is accepted or appealed. ## 03 — What changed Pipeline grew by about three quarters in the first month and manual prospecting dropped by roughly two thirds — same five people, same market, different allocation of their attention. ## 04 — What we would change We would spend the first week narrower. Two of the four segments we tested were never going to answer, and we knew enough on day three to stop them. +75% Qualified pipeline after 30 days −62% Time spent on manual prospecting FILED UNDER Lead generation AI agents Case studies [Olga Bialkovich](https://u-in.ai/authors/olga-bialkovich/) Founder · AI and marketing strategy Olga founded the lead-generation product that now runs as U [in] AI, and she sets the direction of the lab: which parts of marketing are worth automating, and which stay with people.
