Overengineering your cold outreach


There was a time when I made the lion's share of my income through cold outreach.

What I learned that worked included...

  • Keep it short
  • Open a dialogue
  • Explain clearly what the offer is and what's in it for the recipient

It's always going to be a numbers game, but following the above three rules made sure I got better results than most.

Yesterday, I got a really bad outreach email.

Usually, I ignore and move on with my day.

But this guy also booked a slot in my calendar through a hidden link. So I decided to do an analysis of the bad outreach.

If you wanna see it, it's live in the community below.

Golden rules for cold outreach?

Respect the recipient's time, be clear, offer a solid CTA, aim to open a dialogue.

Do that, and you're ahead of 99% of cold outreach fools.

Speak soon,

If you want more info, here's the detail. I'm of the opinion low-ticket offers will move on from the common... Info-based courses Fill-in-the-blank templates...

Yo! Was chatting to a GM+ member on Friday and we landed on the concepts of revenue growth. Specifically what the biggest brands out there do to hit ever greater profit. I wanted to share what we discussed here with you. Mainly because there's a lack of focus on this in the real world. Most people are still focusing on things like... New client acquisition Vanity metrics of likes, shares, comments etc Revenue instead of profit All of the above can be useful, but they're not the focus - or at...

I just got finished recording and uploading a new swipe analysis in GM+ (you can see the full thing by joining us here). And I noticed something a little interesting which you need to know about if you're planning on running offers. I'm seeing a growing trend in low ticket offers that's moving away from the established... Courses Templates Frameworks ... and a lot of people are moving into the "done for you" space with LTOs. And it makes sense. A recent email I sent I broke down how consumers...
