How I run multiple businesses in 30 min/day with Claude.
It's 7:14 AM in my kitchen, coffee still dripping. On my screen: 47 prospects, scraped from yesterday's Tictag partner event.
By 7:45 AM I have:
- A clean prospect digest with intent signals
- Eleven first-draft outreach emails grounded in each company's published material
- An updated partner-map showing two new strategic gaps for next week
- Six CRM rows flagged for follow-up with suggested next actions
That's roughly three hours of SDR-and-RevOps work. I do it in 30 minutes with Claude.
This is one of the morning batches I run this way — one per business. Below is the commercial one, start to finish. The shape is the same for every other batch I run.
Most operators hear “AI” and picture a junior intern they have to micromanage. That's the trap. The best operators I know don't treat Claude as a person at all — they treat it as a workflow.
Here's the difference. An intern needs onboarding, context, correction, and re-onboarding next week when they forget. Claude needs none of that. Give it a versioned prompt and a tight input, and it returns the same output every time. That's not assistance — that's infrastructure.
The 30-minute morning batch.
1. Prospect digest (8 min).I paste yesterday's CRM export + LinkedIn signal scrape into one prompt. Claude returns a digest grouped by intent tier (warm / observed / cold), with a one-line “why-now” beside each name. I don't read the raw data anymore.
2. First-draft outreach (12 min).For each warm prospect, I give Claude their company's published page (about, blog, last announcement) and the business's offer. Output: a 3-paragraph email that earns a reply by sounding like I read their stuff, because Claude actually did. I rewrite the first sentence and the CTA. That's it.
3. Partner-map refresh (5 min).Same prompt every Monday. Claude re-runs against last week's partner-map and highlights deltas: new players, dead ones, gaps. I make the call on which gaps to chase.
4. CRM hygiene (5 min).Stale leads (>14 days no touch) get a Claude-suggested next action, “DM their founder on LinkedIn referencing X,” “wait until their Series A closes,” “kill it.” I approve or override.

You are an SDR-and-RevOps analyst for our AI data services business in Vietnam.
Read the input below. Return [SPEC]. Use our voice: direct, operator-to-
operator, no jargon. Cite the prospect's own words when claiming relevance.
If signal is weak, say so.
[CONTEXT, paste your offer + 1-line ICP]
[INPUT, paste data]
[SPEC, what shape of output you want]From theatre to infrastructure.
Take the one task you do every weekday morning that should take 30 minutes and somehow takes two hours. Write it as a prompt with three blocks, context, input, spec. Run it once.
If the output is 70% there, you've found a workflow. If it's at 40%, your input or your spec is wrong, not the model.
