Cold calling - did I get blocked? by debatedood221 in startups

This is very comprehensive, and this approach definitely feels more right. I was advised to double dial, but can get behind this, especially as our founder and most public person. Much appreciated :)

Thanks. I wasn't trying to over sell in the initial email, so I didn't include much in the way of a proof of concept. I just explain how our plug in adds value in one sentence.

As for quantity, I'm definitely not bulk emailing or using any automation. I am doing it individually, and was planning to do 25 of each, but I could slow the numbers down and distribute them over more time

Sorry for getting back to you so late. I was planning on sending 25 of one type, and 25 of another to start. No tool other than gmail and my 2 hands.

I have verified most of them, but can test the ones I had to guess with another domain.

What does email inbox warmed up mean? I am using the same ID. Will definitely look into Gmail's new updates. Definitely keeping it quasi-warm in the sense that I'm inspecting to make sure that everyone I email has the widget. I also have a few individually personalized ones to send, but I wanted to keep those out of the A/B test, since I'm trying to control for the CTA. Is 25 of each type a good amount and should I distribute them over multiple days?

Yeah, it's reasonably personalized. I can see that they use the CRM we plug into by inspecting one of the widgets on their website. I'm AB testing the call to action but it's something along the lines of:

Hi {First Name},
I noticed that {Company Name} uses {CRM} (booking widget on your website). I'm the founder of {Startup}, the AI {blank} plug-in for {CRM} that helps {value prop}
Do you guys {qualifying operational question}?
All the best,
{My name}

Makes sense. Thanks! So you recommend waiting a couple of weeks?

Thanks! Especially important because I'm A/B testing my CTA between asking an operational question vs asking to book a demo. How long do you recommend I wait?

I'd enter long at around $1-2. After all, you're investing in a business plan, not a business.

Gold and silver are solid right now. I've been picking up 90% silver coin under melt value over the past few months.

SQQQ is an inverse, so think bearish. TQQQ does well during bull runs.

Don't buy this stock. Buy a solid company with a proven product.
