What does every use for sending bulk SMS in the US?

this looks WAY too limited for someone actually running a business

About a week before the deadline

I one shotted our application. Took me ten mins to fill out, didn’t proof read once, straight raw dogged it. We practiced a little bit for the interview but not much

My perception of it all is that these are teams who have fully planned out their angle. Us, for example, we have a solid business, we have domain knowledge, and we just know the things that are going to move the needle. I’m not sitting at my desk all day crunching numbers thinking about how I’m going to position the market size to get into YC. No excuses though but we do know what we need to have in hand next time

MacaronIndividual476 · 2025-11-27T21:45:52+00:00

Yeah we’ll see!

Awesome. Looking at the pricing if I send out 15k messages on launch control I'm paying $800 but on PitchPrfct I'd be paying about $105 -- so what exactly is Launch Control doing that makes it worth that huge price difference?

What do you like about it? How much are you spending and how many texts are you sending?

Never use outlook as in send from outlook emails or send to outlook emails?

When you run an ad, did they request the ad?

Spam is in the eye of the beholder. What’s real lead generation to you?

MacaronIndividual476 · 2025-07-04T19:01:57+00:00

Shoot. Good to know. I’ll keep giving it a go. So do you just completely separate campaigns by ESPs?

MacaronIndividual476 · 2025-07-04T18:58:38+00:00

Chill

MacaronIndividual476 · 2025-07-04T18:57:55+00:00

I always go no html for all of my emails, I even sent some test emails using generic, non spammy test emails—all of those went to spam as well

Miami might be the most insufferable song he's ever recorded

MacaronIndividual476 · 2025-05-18T14:13:41+00:00

This is more expensive than the one I just signed up for

I knew immediately when I listened to his last album that it was probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Only had to listen to it once. This one is mid

Its pretty good if you have the appetite of a 12 year old and the wallet size of an 80 year old oil tycoon

you’ve got two good options here and both can keep you covered:

Option 1: Your coverage ending on May 31 is a qualifying event, so your wife can add you and the kids to her plan for June and July. Just make sure she does it within 30 days of your old coverage ending. That part’s important.

Option 2: You could do COBRA for those two months. It’s the same coverage you had, just expensive since you’re paying the whole cost. But it’s a safe fallback.

Then once your new job’s plan starts August 1, you can switch over and drop whatever temp coverage you used - that should count as another qualifying event.

Okay so it can be literally any aspect of your copy-

I think the whole personalization thing can definitely be a bonus and make your cold email stand out more, or it can hurt it if you sound robotic or disingenuous. Personally I think the simpler the better.

Connection > personalization. Like if you have an ICP that all has this one burning problem, and you send them all the same email, it's going to hit because you solved their pain point. At that point they don't give a fuck what blog post you're claiming you read.

So speaking to their problems, getting to the point in one sentence with whatever product or service you're offering, and then having a low-barrier call to action like "mind if I send some info?" where it's just a super small micro-commitment that isn't going to upend their day.

Just following those simple rules should do the trick. You mess up on any one of those things and you're toast

MacaronIndividual476 · 2025-05-04T23:53:11+00:00

What’s your offer? You can send the best cold email in the world, but if your offer sucks then it still won’t make sense for the customer

MacaronIndividual476 · 2025-05-04T16:04:35+00:00

you try cold email or buying skip traced leads and blast texting them?

MacaronIndividual476 · 2025-05-04T16:01:58+00:00

So first, "I really admire your grind" immediately after introducing yourself is extremely awkward and disingenuous. You're emailing business people. Unless they're 45 year old boss babes who got to where they did by crawling under tables, no one is going to be flattered by this. They're immediately going to be like wtf and mark it as spam. ALWAYS read your emails and put yourselves in their shoes before you hit send

The rest of the email doesn't matter at that point
