By Dan Martell

Summary

## Key takeaways - **Director vs Doer Mindset**: You are no longer the person who does the work. You're the person who directs the AI agents as your team, and your job is to tell them what to do, not do it yourself. [00:38], [00:46] - **AI Builds Lead Lists While Sleeping**: AI can research, pull contact info, grab recent social media activities, and look for pain points to build a warm lead list while you sleep. [01:34], [02:00] - **Personalize Outreach with AI**: AI drafts personalized emails referencing recent social media posts or campaigns for each lead on the list, taking 90% of the effort off your plate. [06:13], [06:28] - **AI Delivers Branded Proposals**: AI analyzes client online presence, finds insights on engagement, and creates presentations replicating their branding, colors, logos, and fonts. [09:33], [10:48] - **Differentiate with Taste, Vision, Care**: When AI can do everything, differentiate with taste knowing what good looks like, vision seeing a future that doesn't exist yet but should, and care focusing on people with emotional intelligence.

Chat GPT is the kitty pool of AI. While

most people are chatting with AI, other people are running entire businesses without lifting a finger. And 99% of entrepreneurs have no idea this even exists. They're stuck manually doing

exists. They're stuck manually doing work that AI could handle while they're on the beach. I'm talking leads, outreach, delivery, all of it. I launch

a new AI company every single month in my venture studio, Martell Ventures, and I can tell you the only reason they scale is because I'm not the one doing the work anymore. AI is. So, in this video, I'm going to show you how to get

customers without even touching your keyboard. But before we go into all the

keyboard. But before we go into all the steps, you need to understand the mindset shift that makes all of this possible. It's called the director

possible. It's called the director versus the doer. You are no longer the person who does the work. You're the

person who directs the shift. The AI

agents are your team, and your job is to tell them what to do, not do it yourself. Most people go to the AI, they

yourself. Most people go to the AI, they chat with it, they take the response, they go somewhere else, they give it to somebody, the person replies, they take that, they go back in the AI, and they're stuck in the middle. I want you

to ask yourself, why am I leaving this tool? What am I doing with that

tool? What am I doing with that information? Can I get the tool to do it

information? Can I get the tool to do it for me? Stay in the tool. Don't leave

for me? Stay in the tool. Don't leave

it. Because if you do that, then you're building end toend automations, not being the person still stuck in the middle. The best way to think about it

middle. The best way to think about it is treat your AI like a junior intern.

Somebody that's smart, somebody that you like, somebody that can do a lot of things. They can do, but you need to

things. They can do, but you need to direct. So now, let's get into actually

direct. So now, let's get into actually how you do this. Step one is attract. We

have to build the lead list while you sleep. AI can do everything that you've

sleep. AI can do everything that you've been doing. Just think about who your

been doing. Just think about who your ideal buyer is and write down all the information. Because here's what's

information. Because here's what's crazy. AI can build all of that for you

crazy. AI can build all of that for you while you sleep. It can research. It can

pull. It can gather the contact info. It

can grab all their recent activities on social media. It can look for pain

social media. It can look for pain points that they've communicated to the world by looking at their profiles. Can

you imagine tomorrow morning you wake up to a warm lead list, people that are ready to buy, actually done the way you love. In the new world of AI, the skill

love. In the new world of AI, the skill that separates people is the ones that think in systems. system stands for save yourself time, energy, money, and stress. And that is what AI will do for

stress. And that is what AI will do for you. I know what you're thinking. That

you. I know what you're thinking. That

sounds easier said than done. It's

actually easier done than I've said.

It'll take you less time to do it than the amount of time it's taken me to get you to this point in the video. So,

here's how you actually do it. Let's

pretend I have a digital marketing agency and I help brands grow. I help

them grow their online presence and I help them scale their revenue. Step one,

open Manis. Okay, it's Manis AI, but the URL is manis.im. The reason I'm using Manis is because I've showed people that are 70 years old how to use the tool and they've started to automate their

personal life and it's the most approachable one to everybody. All my

coaching clients, it's Manis, my team, Manis for right now. It is the tool that will help you automate without you having to understand the technical sides of any of this automation. So, we load up Manis AI. It should look familiar.

It's how every AI tool works. So, we

fill in the prompt. Very simple. Find

the 50 e-commerce brands in the health and wellness space active on Instagram and Facebook. That tells me they're

and Facebook. That tells me they're early adopters or they're active who post in the last 30 days. Also qualifies

them. Pull their company name, their website, their social media, their handles, recent topics into a table. You

can even add stuff like make some assumptions on what their revenues are based on what you find on LinkedIn. You

can do a lot of stuff there, but I just want to keep this simple and fast for all of you guys to get this result. So,

do this for your business. And the

coolest part to make this really simple for you, I'm going to save all the system prompts, all the templates, everything I share with you below in the description, so you can just copy and paste it for yourself. And then I hit

enter. Step two, it's going to open up a

enter. Step two, it's going to open up a browser and automate the scraping of all the information that I need. This is

things that most people pay interns for, agencies, or maybe you've been doing this for the last year, and you no longer have to do it. It'll go and figure itself out. And if it gets stuck, guess what? It'll just ask you how to

guess what? It'll just ask you how to solve the problem. And you can notice it already found a website that lists the top 50 brands that I might want to sell to. It even asked me, do I want to do a

to. It even asked me, do I want to do a wide research search so that I can make it faster and more accurate? In this

step, Manis goes, hey, I've got this information. I can do this like massive

information. I can do this like massive research project, but is going to cost some money. So, it prompts you first so

some money. So, it prompts you first so it doesn't go and just start charging your credit card. But because I just want the initial list, I don't need it to do that. But if I wanted to, it would literally spin up a bunch of different agents to accomplish this process to get

it done faster. So, it keeps doing the research. It finds all the information I

research. It finds all the information I asked for and then it creates a table into a spreadsheet. Done automatically.

I know you're like, >> "How did it do that?"

>> It's AI. Stop pretending not to know.

Now, you've got a list full of leads.

But here's where most people fail. They

either don't reach out to those leads cuz they're like, "I don't think the person will buy from me." They get inside their head. or they send them some generic message, just copy and paste crap that they find on the internet. That's where this next step

internet. That's where this next step comes in. Step number two, I call this

comes in. Step number two, I call this convert. We want to personalize the

convert. We want to personalize the outreach. So, now that we've got all the

outreach. So, now that we've got all the research done, it's got the lead list. I

can now ask it to write personalized outbound messages. I can do email,

outbound messages. I can do email, LinkedIn, Instagram, whatever way you want. And then you can ask it to track

want. And then you can ask it to track to see if there's been a reply so that you can get engaged. It's kind of crazy cuz it'll monitor your inbox and notify you when someone is interested. I use

this all the time. I even built a custom GPT to personalize outreach so that if I have people on my email list and I want to invite them to something, it writes a very short and personalized email based

on their situation, what they've posted online. Now, it gets reviewed, but then

online. Now, it gets reviewed, but then that way it takes 90% of the effort off of my plate or my assistant's plate.

Which reminds me of a quote I love to share with people, which I believe broke people get good at doing tasks. They

like get excited about doing doing, but rich people get good at avoiding them. I

am lazy. I do not want to repeat something I've done before. I call it dry. Don't repeat yourself. And if I can

dry. Don't repeat yourself. And if I can use AI to automate stuff that isn't a human connection, I'm doing it. So,

here's how we actually do it in Manis.

First, you got to take the lead list.

And then we add this prompt, which is act as an expert in sales and marketing.

Draft a personalized email to each brand on this list. Reference their recent social media posts or campaign. And this

is my intro. I help brands scale their online presence and increase revenue without burning ad budget. ask if they'd be open to a 15-minute call. They wrote

the email. I can open it up. I can edit.

It's in my spreadsheet. Notice that it personalized the subject line, the text.

You can customize this. If you're like, "Oh, I don't know if I like that response." Cool. Tweak it. Play with it.

response." Cool. Tweak it. Play with it.

Just track it so that you know what your response rates are. I've seen all kinds of emails work. This is just an example to get you started. And again, I have the fill-in- thelank template below in the description. Even though Manis can

the description. Even though Manis can send those emails from your inbox, it can't mass do this. So, that's where you're going to maybe want to connect a tool like Instantly, Smart Lead, or something similar so that it can do the

marketing automation for you. And I'm

honestly not surprised if Manis adds that feature in the near future. Now

that it's written the emails and you've sent them out, you could say, "Every 24 hours, review my email for replies to these outreach emails. If anyone replies with interest, not just telling us to

stop, send me a notification and message on Slack, you've got a reply from a potential customer." The point here is

potential customer." The point here is that I want to show you that it can monitor your email and let you know.

That's what's called end toend agentic workflows. The cool part is now you just

workflows. The cool part is now you just wait. You go do other work and

wait. You go do other work and eventually if you get a response, it'll tell you. Now, before we keep going,

tell you. Now, before we keep going, I've got something exciting to tell you.

I want to meet you. Yes, you. I've never

done this before, but I've been bugging my team and I said, "Look, I want to meet the people that follow me. So, I

want to fly you out to hang out with me and my team and we're going to tour the office. We'll go for a hike. You'll come

office. We'll go for a hike. You'll come

with me in one of my supercars. will

even personally customize a full Aentic AI system for your business. But there

are some rules. Number one, you got to be subscribed to this channel. Two, you

got to be follow me on Instagram. And

third, DM me the word giveaway on Instagram. And I will be checking that

Instagram. And I will be checking that you're subscribed and follow me. So

don't cheat. We'll be closing submission one week from the time this video gets dropped. So don't sleep on this cuz this

dropped. So don't sleep on this cuz this could be you. I'm excited. So if you've been watching and you feel like you're a fan and you're like, "This is the time."

Enter in. All right, back to the AI workflow. So, now you got leads. You've

workflow. So, now you got leads. You've

got meetings booked cuz people replied.

Now the pressure is on. You need to actually deliver. But most people get

actually deliver. But most people get stuck here because they're drowning in work that they don't have time to respond. But that's about to change.

respond. But that's about to change.

Step three, deliver. AI does the work.

Yes, I know you're the genius. You are

the person and you're the artist and you craft things. But AI can actually do a

craft things. But AI can actually do a lot of the deliverables. It's not just about organizing files and creating the final product. It actually analyzes

final product. It actually analyzes data. It can find the insights. It can

data. It can find the insights. It can

build branded reports for you. You can

create the prompts that generates the output that these people don't know how to do because you're the expert. You

review it and then you send it. That's

it. Even at Martell Media, a lot of the stuff we do is very artistic, but there's processes that is manual. So,

for example, taking a transcript of a training I've done and extracting all my insights. I'm talking quotes and

insights. I'm talking quotes and contrarian takes and oneliners. So now I have Manis that monitors a folder and as things get saved there, it analyzes it, processes it, and then it saves it in

notion. That way my team can pull all

notion. That way my team can pull all the inputs there and put the outlines together so I can just sit down, have a lot of fun, and I don't have to think too hard. Most people don't understand

too hard. Most people don't understand that automation is the biggest form of leverage. And the coolest part is it'll

leverage. And the coolest part is it'll give you speed. And if you don't have speed, that's the tax you pay for not having the clarity you need. So let's

have some fun. Let's say that I just heard back from AG1, the green powder company, and now we're going to use Manis to do all the research to give it a specific proposal. So, here's the prompt. Analyze AG1's online presence.

prompt. Analyze AG1's online presence.

Review their website, Instagram, Facebook, and recent ad campaigns from the last 6 months. Find reoccurring

patterns and insights. Focus on

engagement. What posts, ads, and content formats drove the most interactions?

What message worked and what didn't? Put

all insights into a table. You can see it starts doing the research. It pulls

up their socials, the website, all within the app automatically. I didn't

have to go out and find their Instagram and give it any information. We already

did the research before and now we're just saying, "Hey, let's double down."

Now, you can check out the full detailed analysis that would have taken any human weeks to put together. This is like 60 hours worth of work from the research to the leads to the personalized emails to now creating the proposal that you're

going to send over to create some value in advance. When people say to me, it's

in advance. When people say to me, it's like, "I don't know how to make a business." I'm like, please stop. You

business." I'm like, please stop. You

can automate your whole business. You

can ask AI how to start the business.

You can ask AI how to create the business. You can ask AI how to generate

business. You can ask AI how to generate everything. You can use AI to monetize.

everything. You can use AI to monetize.

So now that's just the research. Now I

want to make it presentable. So what do I do back into Manis? You can ask it.

Create a presentation report with these insights. Go to their website, pull

insights. Go to their website, pull their branding, colors, logos, fonts, and replicate it in the presentation style. Make it look like it came from

style. Make it look like it came from their team in terms of visual style. And

now it starts creating a full presentation. It pretty much makes it

presentation. It pretty much makes it look like something their team should have done, but you can get paid to do it and they're going to get excited because they feel like it's hyperpersonalized.

It's not some generic garbage.

Especially like when people use their own templates. It's like why not

own templates. It's like why not customize it to the brand of the company you're talking to? And with AI, it can do it for you. It found the brand colors. It presented the information. It

colors. It presented the information. It

visualized it with the diagram. It

created the overview of each slides. The

best part is I can ask it to save it as a public link and then I have a link I can email to them to make it really simple, not a PDF they got to download.

And they're like, "Holy cow, they built a custom website with the presentation."

So, I have a presentation here, but I can turn it into a website, but just asking Manis to publish it to a public URL. Now, they've got a website with my

URL. Now, they've got a website with my presentation, which makes it look like the effort that I did to win their business is huge. Nobody's doing this.

The people that are are winning big time. Imagine you sell homes and you can

time. Imagine you sell homes and you can personalize the proposal by asking the AI to go through their social media feed, pull pictures of their family and merge the photos of the house that they asked you about with pictures of their

family in the photos. Yes, it can do that. And then you send that to the

that. And then you send that to the potential buyer and they go, "Holy cow, the proposal is custom with photos from our family. They're going to tell

our family. They're going to tell everybody about you. They're going to be at dinner tonight telling their friends.

They're going to be showing their co-workers. And this can all be done

co-workers. And this can all be done through AI with barely touching your keyboard. So now you've automated

keyboard. So now you've automated delivering fast and the clients are happy. But what happens when you

happy. But what happens when you actually want to grow? See, most people get stuck doing the same thing over and over again. And what you need to do

over again. And what you need to do instead is you got to stay ahead. And

you do that by step four, automate everything else you need to scale. You

can run your entire organization from one tool. So for example, my assistant

one tool. So for example, my assistant an uses manis to automate all of her repetitive tasks. She used to have a

repetitive tasks. She used to have a small team. doesn't need the team

small team. doesn't need the team anymore. The messages, the answers, the

anymore. The messages, the answers, the replies, the scheduling, all through manis. So, my question to you is, what

manis. So, my question to you is, what are you going to do to stay on top of this? Because I'm just showing you the

this? Because I'm just showing you the beginning. But if you don't pay

beginning. But if you don't pay attention, you're just going to get left behind. And just to get you

behind. And just to get you brainstorming a little bit more, here's what else AI can do for you. So, I'll

give you three examples. And the cool part is I've got prompts for them all below in the description. You can do content research, you can do client feedback analysis, you can do business insights. Manis will handle it all. You

insights. Manis will handle it all. You

just have to prove and execute. That's

how we scale. So you've set all this stuff up, the automation, the systems, but this next question is the one that really holds people up. Step number

five. So what do you do? Now when AI can do everything, how do you actually differentiate yourself? The way I think

differentiate yourself? The way I think about it is it always comes down to three things. Taste, vision, and care.

three things. Taste, vision, and care.

That's what makes you you. That's what

makes you irreplaceable. That's why

people buy from you. Business is not B2B. It's H to H, human to human. Let me

B2B. It's H to H, human to human. Let me

break it down for you. Taste is you knowing what good looks like. Most

people cannot tell you what a great Facebook ad looks like. AI can generate a bunch of ads, but only somebody with taste can know that. So, you have to teach yourself. Vision, understanding

teach yourself. Vision, understanding where the future's going. And vision for me is seeing a future that doesn't exist yet, but should. And the third is care.

And this is the Hto part. This is where you actually focus on the people. You

understand what drives them, what are their motivation, you you build your emotional intelligence. See, when AI can

emotional intelligence. See, when AI can solve every problem, your heart is what makes you stand out. So to build your taste, you want to go and study the best examples of whatever you do. To build

your vision, you want to start researching and understanding where the world's going and start communicating that with other smart people. To build

your care, you want to start asking people, be curious about them, understand what makes them tick, and work on your own psychology. The reason

I'm so excited about this is AI will give you all your time back so you can focus on being even greater at what you do, which means you should get better.

Improve your skills around taste, vision, care, improve your ability to learn AI, automate more, teach it to other people, teach it to your team.

Honestly, be a trusted resource for your customers. They're all struggling with

customers. They're all struggling with the same thing. Now that you know this, why don't you show them? But here's the question. What are you pretending not to

question. What are you pretending not to know? I tell people all the time, if you

know? I tell people all the time, if you want to learn AI, ask AI. And people

continuously come to me asking me, how do I learn AI? In that question, they're pretending not to know that AI can teach them that AI's programming language is English. That this is the first

English. That this is the first technology in the history of mankind that can teach you how to use it better.

The internet didn't do that. Mobile

didn't do that. Crypto didn't do that.

AI does that. I really want to challenge you to stop doing the work that AI can handle. stay in the tool so that you can

handle. stay in the tool so that you can focus on the things that only you can bring to the table. And again, if you want, all the prompts, they're below in the description. But if you want to

the description. But if you want to participate in the giveaway and come hang out with me and the team and actually build some of this stuff with me, make sure you're subscribed to this channel, follow me on Instagram, and DM

me the word giveaway. And if you want to use AI to scale your content, click the link and I'll see you on the other
