What Writing, AI, and a 45-Minute Call Taught Me This Week

Section 1: Behind the Scenes of My Week

Writing, Gratitude, and a Shift in Thinking

This week marks three full weeks of consistent writing. The change is not in numbers but in energy. I’ve started seeing inbound leads. I sent out a couple of proposals quickly without waiting for everything to be perfect. But something else happened that felt even more valuable.

One of my posts reached a seasoned CEO of a large IT services company in Bangalore. He liked the post, we connected, introduced ourselves, and eventually got on a call. What followed was a forty-five minute conversation that left me thinking deeply.

He spoke about the difference between being a problem solver and being an innovator. About narrowing focus, choosing a niche, and learning how to truly understand the people in it. He gave practical advice, shared his own lessons, and walked me through how to spot real problems inside real businesses.

It was humbling. For someone with his experience to share time and wisdom so freely was something I truly appreciated. One day, I hope to do the same for someone walking the early path I’m on now.

This week also brought another moment of validation. A person from a cloud engineering company reached out after seeing my LinkedIn posts and newsletter. They had a specific AI use case. We got on a call, explored the problem, and sent back a detailed technical proposal.

→ They appreciated the clarity

→ They liked the solution

→ We’re hopeful the deal closes soon

All of this came from just writing and sharing consistently.

It’s not about building a personal brand.

It’s about being visible to the right people at the right time.

And about creating conversations that move things forward.

One thing I’m still reflecting on is am I doing too much?

Some days feel focused. Some days feel like I’m juggling too many threads.

Still figuring that part out. But one thing I’ve learned is showing up consistently makes more happen than any single strategy.

Section 2: AI Workflow of the Week → Warm Follow-Up in Seconds

This week, I built a simple but powerful workflow that solves a common problem:

So I combined n8n + Claude + Twilio to do this:

→ Detect new form submission (via Tally or Typeform)

→ Extract lead’s name and interest

→ Prompt Claude to write a warm WhatsApp message

→ Auto-send it via Twilio within seconds

Why this matters:

→ Leads are still thinking about you when they get the message

→ Claude’s tone feels personal and human

→ It removes a task most founders delay

Sample prompt I used:

Section 3: Problem Spotlight → The Real Pain in Inventory Replies

This week, while chatting with a friend who runs a small clothing business, she casually mentioned:

No product name. No SKU. No context. Just a picture.

What happens next?

→ She manually searches her catalog

→ Checks if the item is in stock

→ Writes a reply — often after a delay

→ Sometimes loses the customer before replying

It’s a tiny pain repeated hundreds of times across thousands of businesses.

So I thought:

What if an AI agent handled the first step?

→ Detect image-based queries from WhatsApp

→ Match it with the store’s inventory (Shopify, Airtable, etc.)

→ Auto-reply with status, price, and variants

→ Escalate to human only if uncertain

Why this is useful:

→ Customers prefer casual image-based chats

→ Owners lose time — and often leads — by replying late

→ Even 60% automation here saves hours every week

We’re prototyping this right now.

→ If you run a store and face similar issues, DM me

→ If you know someone who does, feel free to connect us

This is the kind of quiet, overlooked workflow where AI can shine.

Section 4: Tool Highlight → Dripify

This week, I took a deeper look at Dripify, a LinkedIn automation platform that’s quietly powerful — especially for solopreneurs and small sales teams.

We often hear about outbound campaigns running on cold emails or scraping directories. But LinkedIn is where real conversations still begin — especially in B2B. The problem? Doing it manually is a time sink.

That’s where Dripify shines.

What Dripify does well

→ Automated sequences on LinkedIn

You can create outreach flows with connection requests, follow-ups, profile views, and even custom delays — all without touching your keyboard.

→ Smart inbox and lead tracking

It brings all your LinkedIn replies into a clean inbox, helping you prioritize actual conversations over clutter.

→ Team features for agencies

Dripify isn’t just for individuals. Agencies or founders managing multiple outreach campaigns can monitor performance, assign leads, and track metrics across multiple LinkedIn profiles.

→ No Chrome tab nightmares

Runs in the cloud — so your sequences don’t depend on whether your browser is open.

How I used it this week

I created a small test flow for indie SaaS founders:

→ Step 1: Visit profile

→ Step 2: Wait 1 day

→ Step 3: Send custom connection request

→ Step 4: Wait 2 days

→ Step 5: Send a simple AI workflow guide (value first)

The result?

→ 42% connection rate

→ 6 genuine conversations

→ 1 booked call in under 3 days

Why this matters

→ We’re all trying to connect with the right people

→ Most automation tools feel cold and spammy

→ But Dripify lets you humanize your workflow at scale

If you’re writing, building, or selling online — this is one of the few tools that respects the craft of outreach.

Section 5: Open Loop → Let’s Talk

This week I’ve been asking myself something simple.

→ What makes someone reach out to you?

Is it the way you present your work?

Is it the frequency of your updates?

Is it the clarity of your niche?

Or just… timing?

In the past three weeks, I didn’t go viral. I didn’t post daily. I didn’t run ads.

But I showed up consistently — and that changed the game.

→ A CEO connected through a post

→ A lead turned into a proposal

→ Conversations sparked new product ideas

It made me realize — visibility is not about volume. It’s about relevance, timing, and presence.

So here’s my question to you:

👉 What is one thing you can publish this week that shows who you are and what you solve?

Could be a small tutorial.

A before-after story.

A personal insight.

Even a single workflow you built.

The format doesn’t matter.

The clarity does.

I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
