How The Growth Agency Achieved a 66% Reply Rate by Migrating Off HeyReach
By outgrowing the stagnant tech stack of HeyReach, James Craven utilized SalesRobot’s voice and video AI to scale a 50-client agency, achieving a massive 66% reply rate while cutting manual video prospecting time by 90%.
The Growth Agency
B2B Lead Generation
66%
Reply Rate
Two out of every three prospects engaged in a conversation, proving the power of a simplified two-step AI sequence.
51%
Acceptance Rate
By targeting highly relevant prospects, over half of the requests were accepted, resulting in a substantial pool of new connections.
Zero
Cost Friction
Despite the advanced tech, James found the credit-based system for voice/video to be highly cost-effective for large-scale agency use.
The Challenge: Before SalesRobot
Before migrating, James managed 50 clients using a combination of HeyReach and manual Loom videos. While effective, the lack of innovation in his previous tool created a "ceiling" for his agency's growth.
The HeyReach Ceiling
James found HeyReach to be "tech stack limited," failing to offer the advanced video and voice features needed to differentiate in a competitive market.
The Manual Video Bottleneck
The team relied on recording manual Loom videos after getting interest, which prevented them from using video as a high-conversion "hook" in the initial outreach.
Intern/Entry-Level Risks
Managing inboxes for 50 clients required hiring entry-level staff who often lacked the sales proficiency to handle complex replies effectively.
Tool Hopping Friction
Using separate platforms for LinkedIn and voice/video notes (like Lemlist) was either too expensive or too complex to integrate into a unified agency workflow.
The Solution:
AI-Driven Agency Scaling
Before migrating, James managed 50 clients using a combination of HeyReach and manual Loom videos. While effective, the lack of innovation in his previous tool created a "ceiling" for his agency's growth.
Key Tactics Used:
1
Automated Voice & Video AI (11 Labs)
James integrated 11 Labs voice synthesis to send personalized audio notes that tag the prospect's first name. This replaced generic text with high-trust "human" touchpoints without the need for manual recording.

Instead of relying on human inbox managers, James implemented the AI Appointment Setter. By feeding the AI a specific SOP (Knowledge Base) for each client, the AI manages conversations 24/7, contextually replying to "Merry Christmas" or technical objections with equal fluency.

Two-Step "Low-Friction" Sequence
Following a "less is more" philosophy, the campaign used a crisp two-step sequence:
Step 1: A simple connection request ("Looking forward to connecting!").
Step 2: A soft-touch follow-up 24 hours later asking if the solution is worth exploring.

Hyper-Personalized Profile Scraping
The tool visits each prospect's profile and uses AI to pick up specific pieces of information to write hyper-personalized intro lines, ensuring the outreach bypasses "bot filters".

If your current tool (like HeyReach) isn't adding new features like AI agents or voice synthesis, you are falling behind your competitors.
Use the "Co-Pilot" AI
You don't have to give the AI full control immediately. Use it as a co-pilot to suggest replies, saving hours of manual drafting for your inbox managers.

Yes. SalesRobot uses residential IPs and mobile APIs, so your actions look completely natural. This makes it safer than tools like Expandi or Waalaxy, and our users have reported zero bans for months.
Trials are meant to see the proof of functionality, which in our case means running a campaign. To get the best results, we recommend you spend 5 minutes to set up a campaign after you sign up. You'd be surprised how many people don't do this.
You can like their most recent post, comment on it automatically, follow them, send them a connection request, automatically follow up with them and yeah, endorse their skills!
You can import people from LinkedIn Sales Nav search, a normal LinkedIn Search, or upload with a CSV, or you can DM LinkedIn group members or event attendees if you want!
Did I mention that you can fetch all the people who commented on a particular LinkedIn post and request to connect with them?
We fully comply with LinkedIn limits and you can send up to 75 connection requests a day. Additionally you can send up to 40 InMails a day to open profiles without using any InMail credits.
If you've got multiple LinkedIn accounts you want to manage (client accounts for example), you can do that by just adding them like you added the first one.
