Let an agent answer sponsorship emails and book discovery calls
A marketing agency founder runs Hermes Agent in the team's Slack, connected to the call and CRM tools, and lets its revenue agents send sponsorship replies and book customer development calls on their own.

What they did
Hermes runs inside Slack so the whole team can talk to it, with Granola, Gong and HubSpot connected as the call and CRM layer and Linear for tracking its work. Email works in two modes: draft-and-approve, or sending on its own once it has earned trust. The founder runs it at send level for sponsorship replies and for booking customer development calls for one of the company's software products, with narrower specialist agents, such as one for cold outbound infrastructure, managed underneath it.
How it went
The poster says These revenue tasks run today without the founder touching them, and the same agent can revive stalled deals and send outreach triggered by signals such as a target company hiring for a certain role.
Good to know
The post gives no reply, booking or revenue numbers, and it promotes the author's own managed agent service. He advises starting in draft mode and only moving to sending once the agent proves reliable.
A prompt to try
Watch <your partnerships inbox> for sponsorship and partnership emails. For each one, check <your CRM> for past contact, then draft a reply using <your rate card or partnership document> and a link to <your booking page>. Post each draft in <your Slack channel> for approval and only send the ones I approve. Each Friday, list deals in <your CRM> with no activity for <number> days and suggest a short follow-up for each.
