$1.2K/Month From a Cold Message to an Insurance Agent

  • Tricky_Mentiong

  • Software Engineering Intern
  • $1,200 monthly revenue from one client

Tricky_Mentiong writes about a side hustle he didn’t see coming 👇

I started talking to insurance agents and kept hearing the same thing. Leads going cold, follow ups getting forgotten, emails piling up.

So he reached out and offered to build an AI fix for one of them 💪

Built automated responses, follow up sequences, scheduling. All running without him touching it.

He noticed the difference fast and so did his numbers. That one agent is $1.2k a month for me.

One client. $1.2K/month. Recurring. 🤑

AI does the heavy lifting – replies, scoring, scheduling, all automated.

The opportunity goes way beyond insurance. A commenter nailed it…

This is the exact same problem in basically every service business, not just insurance. Consultants, agencies, freelancers, accountants.

I’ve seen solo consultants lose 5-10x that in missed revenue from leads that just needed a second email at the right time.

Pick a niche – mortgage brokers, accountants, HVAC contractors – cold message 20 local operators and pitch a hands-off AI follow-up system 😎
