Autonomous Sales Agent Playbook

🗒️ Description

A playbook by Romàn from gojiberry.ai — how to replace a traditional marketing stack ($1,400+/mo)withasingleautonomoussalessystemfor$20/mo. It’s not about a chatbot — it’s an always-on operator that handles speed-to-lead, context research, and follow-up without a human in the loop.

🚀 Key Insight: Speed-to-Lead

• Average lead response time: 47 hours (Harvard Business Review, 2,241 firms)
• A response within 5 minutes = 21x higher chance of qualification vs. 30 min
• The agent answers in < 2 minutes, follow-up rate ~100%

🧩 Architecture — 4 components

Component	Role	Tool
Eyes	Detection of high-intent signals	Gojiberry.ai
Body	Workflow execution, data movement	OpenClaw (self-hosted)
Brain	Context analysis, writing messages	Claude (Anthropic API)
Memory	Lightweight CRM	Markdown files (1 file = 1 lead)

🎨 Context Engine — 4 phases

1. Signal Detection — continuous listening for intent signals (comments, DMs, inbound)
2. Research Loop — before the agent writes a word, it gathers context: profile, company, recent news, pain points → JSON dossier
3. Intent Triage — lead prioritization:
   • P0: Buyer / call request → immediate reply
   • P1: Product inquiry / service interest → qualify + value prop
   • P2: Networking → draft a gentle decline
   • P3: Spam → ignore
4. Copywriting Engine — personalized messages grounded in the collected context

📒 File-Based CRM

• One Markdown file per lead
• Folders as stages (state machine): new/ → qualified/ → contacted/ → won/ / lost/
• Zero vendor lock-in, readable forever

🧩 5 Workflow Arsenal

1. Outbound campaign builder — building outbound campaigns
2. Inbound content monitor — monitoring inbound content
3. Trial-to-paid nudger — trial → paid conversion
4. Win-back agent — recovering lost customers
5. Market intel briefing — market briefing
