Trying not to get replaced by my agents

CEO @ FirstTouch - Trigger and track LinkedIn outreach safely inside your CRM, AI agents, or even your own product.

@draprints im assuming you are checking for open profiles so it doesnt cost credits? or no (50 credits per month isnt scalable for this)

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@arvidkahl the adversarial agent reviews can become a mess maybe im just bad at it, but the agents can become confused on the best path and one bad recomendation can become implemented if the main review agent is convinced using false assumptions.

Just my 2 cents

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@levie the automation engineer also becomes the automation maintenance guy very quickly. Agents need supervision and they decay over time especially if you are building them on top of processes that are dynamic

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@jasonlk i think agents are actually the one thing id recommend people do build (or at least the brain part) and then plug it into tooling that others build. Its too important to outsource

My first Tesla cyber cab experience. I’m impressed what can I say 👌

Company offsite this week in Austin. Can’t beat a whiteboard session and some classic startup bonding 🙌

@coldemailchris we run a lot of our gtm through claude like this. the biggest challenge is gtm changes monthly and strategies stop working quickly so you need to maintain it a lot for it to keep being effective

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@destraynor yeah launch videos used to mean you were all in. now they mean you had a spare 20 minutes and some spare claude code credits :)

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@jjen_abel hmm maybe. but for bigger acv deals that are competitive if a seasoned seller has a massive advantage...stakeholders, security, etc...

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@hnshah yeah the age of experimentation will be shortly followed by the age of wth just happened to our database 😄

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@Shefali__J @PacktPublishing we run a lot of our gtm through claude and hubspot like this. writing the skill is sig easier than having it logged/tracked/attributed and maintained is when it gets rough

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@lennysan @molly_g yeah...steering is exhausting tho when the rower is cracked out. some days i miss rowing haha

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@levie the days of easily raking in cash from people who dont pay attention are not dying but def reducing

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@HarryStebbings @alexmashrabov 10k per head is wild. curious what the breakdown of that is and what its put towards

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@nrmehta yeah the rez issues are a lot easier to handle then some of whats coming next

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

gotcha makes sense. Its sometimes hard to determine the quality of the seller when they can hide behind the product and outperform "good" sales practices

At klaviyo i abandoned a lot of "good" things because it slowed down the deal when people were just wanting the product and ready to pay if they liked what they saw

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

Starting to look at our Salesforce integration. Can't wait to bring this to the Salesforce ecosystem its going to really help brands trying to make LinkedIn a real channel. The biggest issue is how complex SF is compared to HubSpot, going to be a lot of fun dev calls for the next few months

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@hnshah an approval layer is huge when you start connecting tools to AI. Its why we have been so adamant about having human approvals built natively into our MCP and API

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@itsalexvacca easier said then done but thats the model. most gtm learnings i see just die in a slack thread lol

[Jared Mintzlaff @JaredMintzlaff]

@Kazanjy People still need help, and are lazy
