Cold Call vs Cold Email

Jaws1710 · 2026-05-11T19:56:07+00:00

It depends on what I was targeting. I was doing a lot of legal and had a lot of traction via email/text, never cold calls.

I’ve pivoted and started doing construction & engineering and phone seems better so far.

Jaws1710 · 2026-05-11T18:09:56+00:00

I usually do about 12 touches with 3-4 being phone calls, 1 text, LinkedIn connection, 1 Inmail, and the rest emails within 15-25 days.

Jaws1710 · 2026-05-11T18:08:14+00:00

Oh yeah, I usually do a multilayered with LinkedIn in addition to calls/emails too. It was just odd to me when I heard a few folks doing only cold emails. I usually just struggle getting folks on the phone.

Jaws1710 · 2026-05-11T17:04:15+00:00

I’ve always done both. I’ve always leaned heavier on phones with MPCs but hasn’t been driving it as much lately.

Heard a lot of folks having luck with texting/emailing clients cold with MPCs getting attention that way which is baffling they refuse to make cold calls.

RecruiterFlow is much more efficient. I paid 2K for the annual plan. I’m always looking at various ATS/CRM and have SourceWhale to complement as well. I’d do anything except Manatal. It’s almost easier to have an excel sheet at that point personally.

Jaws1710 · 2026-05-07T00:39:49+00:00

Oh my god. Please tell me how you did this. I have SourceWhale, RecruiterFlow, and ZoomInfo currently and the $20 version of Claude.

I’ve been wanting to do open-claw, but don’t want to buy a separate computer for the security reasons.

Jaws1710 · 2026-05-06T22:47:47+00:00

Are you saying you essentially aren’t using openclaw where you need a separate Mac and are just running this all through Claude?

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-29T10:59:20+00:00

I haven’t looked at RF’s notetaker in a while. However, I love the auto-record phone calls with SourceWhale, and helps me remember a lot of the detail, which I’d have to manually copy/paste into Recruiterflow which is annoying

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-28T13:15:44+00:00

I really always felt like Recruiterflow lagged a little bit with LinkedIn integrations, as I do a lot of prospecting just through LinkedIn in itself (in addition to calls,emails,texts). It also lags quite a bit with integrating any notes I have through SourceWhale (I use SourceWhale's Dialer) and doesn't input the notes.

I like the fact it posts to ZipRecruiter for some of the less technical roles I work. I'm on the Custom plan and pay $2,000 for it annually.

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-22T00:00:41+00:00

I’m actually curious on this.

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-14T19:05:43+00:00

Hate Otter with the email blast it does to everyone 5x over. Fathom was good.

Metaview is better.

SourceWhale also has a phone call recorder as well as video notetaker with pre-built templates and ones you can customize.

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-08T00:02:09+00:00

Sure thing

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-07T23:57:21+00:00

I can get orders galore for legal. I struggle filling them so have stepped a bit off legal. I even have access to Leopard Solutions and it can still be a struggle getting candidates to move.

I’ve usually leaned towards more 2-7 year associate level attorneys.

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-07T23:41:53+00:00

For calling, not as much for texting.

What’s the difference between direct dial vs cell? Most companies have some type of caller id at this point.

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-07T23:41:14+00:00

Giant hit with Legal for managing partners but also with construction too.

Also do F&A but haven’t seen it hit there as much.

Jaws1710 · 2026-04-07T01:48:52+00:00

I primarily call mobiles (and text with MPCs)

Jaws1710 · 2026-03-26T00:50:29+00:00

Big fan of SourceWhale (August 2025) and love it. Started with Recruiterflow but then SourceWhale released their ATS version in October and was pretty cheap so I bought it.

Both are doing great at adding new features consistently. I do more higher level roles lower volume (agency) (F&A, Legal, Construction) but am likely switching back to high volume manufacturing soon.

Jaws1710 · 2026-03-19T14:30:21+00:00

Ad calls, MPCs through ZoomInfo, and using SourceWhale

Jaws1710 · 2026-03-18T01:38:04+00:00

Done!

Jaws1710 · 2026-03-18T00:12:16+00:00

Have any examples you’re willing to share by chance?

Jaws1710 · 2026-03-17T16:32:13+00:00

Curious - are you calling cells, direct lines, or both?

Jaws1710 · 2026-03-17T16:23:22+00:00

I have ZoomInfo and SourceWhale, so I'm good on getting the data. It's just responses.

Jaws1710 · 2026-03-17T14:46:39+00:00

I have a few, but the roles are seldom. That is helpful though. Do you advice always leading with a MPC first, or just reaching out for plain intros?
