[Use cases](https://www.automaticcompany.co/use-cases/) · [Sales & leads](https://www.automaticcompany.co/use-cases/category/sales/) # Run the outbound prospecting week while a salesperson handles replies A consultant has deployed Hermes Agent prospecting systems for several clients, including consulting firms and web agencies. The agent builds LinkedIn and email sequences, reads replies and escalates warm leads, while the salesperson keeps the conversations that matter. [Hermes Agent](https://www.automaticcompany.co/use-cases/agent/hermes-agent/) Added Oct 13, 2026 ## What they did Each Monday the salesperson defines the segment, positioning and angle with the agent, which turns them into Sales Navigator filters. The agent then creates a multi-step Lemlist campaign through its MCP server: connection request, message on acceptance, email enrichment, follow-up email. When a prospect replies, Lemlist posts to Slack, the agent reads the thread and either books the next step or flags it for the salesperson, and every morning it sends a status report. ## How it went The poster says Cost per lead is below what the consultant sees on other channels, and salespeople spend their time on conversations instead of logistics. ## Good to know The author builds these systems for clients, so this is partly promotional, and no client names or lead numbers are given. The salesperson still builds and imports the target list by hand. ## A prompt to try This week we are targeting at in , with the angle . Turn this into search filters for , then draft a sequence: connection note, message after acceptance, and one follow-up email. When someone replies, summarize the thread, propose the next step, and hand anything warm to me instead of answering it yourself. ## Source [x.com](https://x.com/leploutos/status/2098416331846566178) · published Sep 11, 2026 · checked Oct 13, 2026 Runs on [Hermes Agent](https://www.automaticcompany.co/platforms/hermes-agent/). ## Want this running for you?
