I know an agent named Mike Renick who has perfected the art of AI email assistance (🤖 + 📧 = 🫶🏼✨). Your challenge is to try out his method for the remainder of the year (ahem, only 3 more months).
His ChatGPT prompt and process are out of this world 🪐, and he's been kind enough to share it with me. I'll share the prompt, but you'll want to download the SOP to get the full scope of how to implement this process.
Remember: this prompt is tailored to Mike's business. He's killing it with video, so he's included that in his emails. Use this prompt as a jumping-off point – tweak it to make it fit your business.
