Can you use cold email to book calls with big businesses?

For my money, it's one of the *best* ways to do it.

We ran a campaign for a client that began last Halloween (not the easiest time to start outbound!), yet still booked 30+ calls with mostly enterprise companies.

@YourBest18_TA Picked up the GTS3, also in the Titan - already the best driver shaft I’ve ever played, still can’t believe how smooth it is.

I don’t post about cold email (or anything else) much anymore, but I appreciate the mention here.

Across all of our clients, we’re consistently generating over 10,000 leads/month, and even topped 15,000 in April.

It’s all kind of absurd at this point, but that’s the power of @InstantlyAI

3,000+ opportunities in one month.

Ken Volk at AutoUp helped a Series B real estate tech company get there using cold email as the outbound engine.

Here’s how the campaign worked 🧵

Southampton NY isn’t the easiest place to get to so I might as well get this started early!

@MichaelBreed Getting fit tomorrow!

What shaft do you play?

[Ken @kenautoup]

@RAlexAndradeFL @kylamb8 @ComputerSageJAB @LakesFirearmsTr @GovRonDeSantis First it was, “she talked about … her job”, and then it’s, “We haven’t read her texts …”

(Perhaps you have a third position?)

Either way, you’re giving the game away by moving the goalposts so quickly.

[Ken @kenautoup]

@ChristinaPushaw Shitty deal, but way to own this. Have always admired you - your cold email to DeSantis to get you started, to the thousands of smart and measured posts in his defense, etc. - you’ll be OK.

@JohnFlyover @davereaboi No chance. Why would he untether himself from an opportunity to have real influence in the White House?

Vance is his only play.

[Ken @kenautoup]

@bonchieredstate Time to cue up the crickets …

[Ken @kenautoup]

Doubt either can.

The big issue heading into 2028: Vance is, as of now, the prohibitive favorite, and he’s tight as can be with Tucker.

If Vance becomes the nominee, all the good work that people like you did to hold Tucker to account will be all for naught.

Tucker and Grandma Groyper seem to be on their heels today, but if Vance gets the conch in the 2028, they’ll have the last laugh.

That’s Tucker and Megyn Kelly calculus: they’re betting on Vance, who is the runaway favorite.

[Ken @kenautoup]

@RubinReport Given how closely aligned Tucker is with Vance - barring a split there - things could work out very well for Tucker if Vance becomes the 2028 nominee. Yikes.

[Ken @kenautoup]

@bonchieredstate Too good.

[Ken @kenautoup]

@ArynneWexler I almost respect how gratuitously petty she’s become.

[Ken @kenautoup]

@mattgaetz DeSantis divested from everything he had before entering Congress, no? He owned zero equities while he was a Congressman.

And what’s with this “we” stuff?

What did *you* ever do in Congress before ducking an ethics compliant after you preyed on teenage girls, @mattgaetz?

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

On the one hand, you have the most successful conservative governor in history, who didn’t trade stocks or even take his pension from Congress.

On the other hand, you have a guy who quit to try to stop an ethics report from coming out.

Real mystery who the warrior is here.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Impressive. We need more governors like @GovRonDeSantis.
