they say cold email is a numbers game so last night I sent 2 million emails from 9 inboxes
Google banned my account, Microsoft banned me, and my mom's Yahoo got blocked just for being related to me
3 replies. 2 unsubscribes and 3rd was my mom askin why her email stopped working
Making 100k in 60 days, the boring way:
Two months ago I started selling lead gen to insurance agencies, commercial insurance especially bc they need a steady flow of new clients to be profitable
I found small to medium sized agencies on Google Maps, Yandex and Yellow Pages across the US & Canada, uploaded to https://t.co/qMiq96tixd and emailed all the valid emails. That came out to 51,052 agencies contacted, 1,362 replies and 294 real opportunities.
45 of them signed with an average ticket of $2,200, which puts us at $99k in about 60 days just from insurance
It's not glamoruous but niches like this do exist and if you have the fundamentals down, its easy as cake
personalization gets you a reply. relevance gets you a meeting
mentioning someone's podcast is a response to effort. emailing a company that just hired three SDRs about a tool for SDR teams is a response to a problem
the industry sells the first one because you can demo it
deliverability became a business model
inbox providers, warmup tools, blacklist monitors, placement testers, all billed monthly
get your auth right, send plain text, kill the tracking, and you're most of the way there
but nobody can sell a subscription to "your setup is fine"
most companies paying for outbound shouldn't be doing outbound
the campaign works, meetings get booked, nothing closes
then it's a lead quality argument for six weeks when the actual problem is nobody wants the offer
the agency knows in month one and says nothing
nobody quits at the sending
they quit around email 8,000, four replies in, none of them going anywhere
that's usually about 12% of the way to the first client
17% of the contacts you bought from apollo six months ago don't work there anymore
they don't bounce. they just never reply
and you've spent three weeks rewriting the subject line
$50k a month looks different depending on what you sell:
2 clients at 25k
5 clients at 10k
20 clients at 2.5k
500 users at 100
