The First 10

Who

10 businesses you know that run ads: past clients, contacts and referral partners' clients.

Where to find them

Your client list and contacts; then the public ad libraries for businesses in your niche.

The first message

Hi {first name}, I saw {business} is running ads for {offer}. I pulled three angles from what your customers say in public reviews and wrote sample copy: {link}. Happy to share how I would test them in 20 minutes. If not, just reply no thanks. {your name}

Then

Run Site Audit on the landing pages of your best 10 and attach the top fix to each pitch.

• Start with people who know you: past clients, referrals and contacts. This is not a cold list.
• Include an easy way to say no thanks, and stop if they do.

Costs and Break-Even

Setup

• VRun It With Us setup: $1,500 founding price for the first 3 setups (normally $2,500), one time for one bot setup, starting with a $300 deposit that counts toward it. Source, checked 30 Oct 2026.

Monthly tool bill

• VGrok Bot Premium: $30 a month (runs every Grok bot in this stack). Source, checked 27 Oct 2026.
• EExample bill: Grok Bot Premium $30 + HubSpot Free $0 + Gmail and Calendar $0 = about $30 a month. Basis: Sum of the listed prices; your plans and volumes will differ.

Your time

• EAbout 2 hours a week to approve samples and pitches. Basis: Our estimate for a small business in its first month; measure your own in week 1.

Work out your own break-even

• Clients needed to cover the tools = monthly tool bill / your monthly fee per client. Set your own fee; we do not publish a typical one.
• Months to recover the setup = setup price ($1,500 founding, normally $2,500) / (monthly fees from clients you won with this - monthly tool bill).
• Track two numbers from week 1: conversations started and clients signed. Use your own numbers, not ours.

Rules to Follow

• Email rules (US, CAN-SPAM)Commercial email needs a working opt-out, and people cannot be asked to pay or do more than reply or visit one page to opt out. Keep subject lines honest and include your postal address. Source.
• Outreach rulesRules on cold email, calls and texts differ by country. Start with people who know you, keep volumes low, identify yourself, and stop when someone says no.
• Data protection (EU and UK customers)If you hold personal data about people in the EU or UK, GDPR or UK GDPR applies: collect only what the job needs, tell people how you use it, and keep access to the connected accounts to the people who need it. Source.
• No income claimsNothing on this page promises income, savings or any business result. The value lines are labelled estimates with their basis. Bots draft and you approve. Source.

What Is Typical

• Caveat. We have no verified data on reply rates for sample-led ad pitches. Measure yours.
