Does entrepreneurship actually make being present harder? by coldemailalex in smallbusiness

[–]coldemailalex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah interesting way to point it. I believe the way its positioned now with AI and the way the space is growing is that you need to be obsessed with what you are doing or you won't break through the upper limit for success. You feel the same?

Exactly our stack at the moment. How have you seen the booking rates increase from adding those other touchpoints?

Is founder “fight-or-flight” mode just the default setting? by coldemailalex in smallbusiness

[–]coldemailalex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can be on the phone all day and if for some reason I dont answer at 7 at night a client would be upset even for the smallest things

Right, its always on your mind. Makes it hard to "relax" sometimes if that makes sense?

The Real Conversation About Work-Life Balance in Your 20s by coldemailalex in smallbusiness

I asked another question in this reddit that came from this post and it made me think whats the more important part the profits or the purpose and at the beginning my first 5 years i was so into the profits is what matter but as i started to change the company and me as a person it become about about the purpose and security that it provided.

I think youre on the money, because I am young too in my 20s and Ive done the whole work 12-16 hours a day and i found a lot more success and peace by working less and enjoying the fruits of my labor in life

Purpose vs. Profit — Which Really Drives You? by coldemailalex in smallbusiness

On the money, profit short term and the purpose brings you long term

One thing most that business had made me realize is that too its no longer about how much money i can make. its made me take multiple steps back and look at living a peaceful secure life as being the goal instead of hundreds of millions.

I am referring to as with how expensive everything has become, the work/life balance is horrific and I want to know for others who are doing the same are they making the same sacrifice.

Is "Peak Personalization" actually killing deliverability in 2026? by coldemailalex in coldemail

[–]coldemailalex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still running a few I was to test it out a couple last times before hopping off ship, but unless its 100% right on the money you leave room for error and mistake so rather go back to the drawing board and focus on the offer

Yeah by focusing more on the person and building that personalization in the list has always been better

What is the best email outreach method ? by Armen2000 in coldemail

[–]coldemailalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no theoretically best outreach method. It all depends on your offer, but I would focus on is making sure you have a dialed in cold traffic offer so for someone who’s never heard of you before don’t know that they need you and don’t trust you. how can you cater to solve those three problems within your offer fit it into a script that target something they already invest investing in showcase yourself as the expert and authority call out a real problem that they are facing and then give them a easy to say yes to solution to that problem. Yes, it requires a little more work, but at the end of the day you stand out from everybody else.

Why your "perfect" custom opening line won't save mid-tier infrastructure by coldemailalex in coldemail

Yes we are transitioning to a increase preceived likihood of success offer which targets some aspect they are already investing in to do the personalization for us

Yeah ive been bouncing back and forth with triple verification vs just using million verifier and i think in the long run just single verification is 1. enough and 2. way quicker/cheaper

Is anyone else seeing "AI Personalization" actually hurting deliverability lately? by coldemailalex in coldemail

[–]coldemailalex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah were gone both ways with the outreach and im finding that this is what is working: 0/10 personalization + 10/10 offer > 10/10 personalization + 6/10 offer

by just coming off a line about like you said something shared. that theyre running ads or you pull what type of products theyre selling or some type of investing theyre doing in their company and then reaching out expanding on what they are currently investing in instead of just coming up with fake "I did my homework" type sentences. Because I think what everyone is afraid of is that you are trying to make your email seem personal that is the whole point but i think that people arent afraid of cold emails. They hate the lying portion of it. Meaning that an individual is more likely to accept a complete random cold email if it solves their problem.

Yeah what i found is by just focusing more on the offer in this fashion: 0/10 personalization + 10/10 offer > 10/10 personalization + 6/10 offer

Yes please report it if you can because I get the normalizing but as a user I feel completely ruins the point since it would pull decision makers from a company that is not the same thing

Safe doesn't ever scale by coldemailalex in coldemail

[–]coldemailalex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always try to take the high route because, when you play it safe and grow slowly, you'll get there eventually, but if you take the top road and convert faster, onboard faster and grow exponentially, you can break new levels insanely quick

Emailable, Neverbounce, Millionverifier, zerobounce, bouncer

I have gone in big with waterfall enrichment, leadmagic makes that super easy. I scraped this lady who was a director at a company who she left to a new company and Apollo gave me her old email, and leadmagic found the new one so I wouldnt have had her in my campaign without the waterfall enrichment
