What happens when a guy who has made close to a million cold calls hands his busywork to a team of AI bots?
Greg McDaniel is a residential real estate broker, investor, annuity and IUL specialist, and producer on the Think and Grow Rich movie. On this episode of Carson’s Corner: Entrepreneurship & Investing, Greg takes us inside the system he built. Bots named Master Chief, Booker, Scout, Catcher, Creative and Market run his follow-up, research, content and outreach around the clock.
The biggest takeaway is his “Kind Notes” campaign. His bots research each of his 9,600 LinkedIn connections and write each one a personal note that asks for nothing. The result is a 24% response and booking rate. Then he asks one question that almost nobody hears anymore: “Who can I introduce you to, and how can I grow your business?”
In this episode:
- How Greg uses AI bots to scan his inbox, catch missed leads and send 400–800 follow-ups a day
- The “Kind Notes” playbook and why the law of reciprocity beats a hard pitch
- Digital door knocking: turning Instagram reel and story views into real conversations
- Why cold call pickup rates have collapsed and what to do instead
- Geofencing: about 200,000 monthly ad impressions for roughly $2,500, compared with a postcard that goes straight in the trash
- Using NotebookLM and “Hey Maps” in Gemini to learn faster and find local networking venues
- Why ChatGPT is a “yes man” and when to trust your gut over the AI
- Entrepreneurial isolation, the Think and Grow Rich mindset, and why “not all money is good money”
- Data centers, moratoriums, and the Terminator connection nobody noticed
If you’re an agent, broker, investor or business owner trying to do more with less, this one’s for you.
