Episode notes
AI Personalization Flopped In Practice
- A client built an AI-driven abandoned B2B cart flow that scraped company sites and auto-personalized outreach with ChatGPT.
- That AI approach only earned about 1–2 responses per 10 emails and underperformed.
Loom Videos Tripled Response Rates
- Marketing Max recommended human-recorded personalized Loom videos as the superior follow-up for abandoned leads.
- The client implemented Looms via VAs and tripled response rates compared to the AI emails.
Human Touch Is The New Differentiator
- Not every process should be automated with AI; human touches can create differentiation.
- Doing slightly harder personal actions (events, dinners, Looms) helps you stand out as AI adoption rises.
