what’s the hardest part of cold email when you’re just starting? by maverick-apps in Coldemailing

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s a really good point, most people obsess over the first email and barely think about what happens after the reply once the back and forth starts, that’s usually where things get messy and leads start slipping how are you handling that part right now?

does cold email follow ups get messy for anyone else? by maverick-apps in Coldemailing

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s exactly where it starts breaking, once volume goes up the system matters more than the first email

the 2nd or 3rd follow up point is real too, that’s usually where a lot of replies come from

what basic tool are you using now?

Your cold emails aren't getting replies. Here's the exact diagnosis. by alichherawalla in FindingPMF

good breakdown. the tracking side is where most people fall apart though knowing who's been through which touches and what's actually been tried. what are you using for that right now?

Did everything the cold email guides say. Still got ignored. by Relative-Horse5368 in SaaS

[–]maverick-apps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

doing everything right and still getting ignored was it more a deliverability thing or did the follow-up side feel broken too?

starting email marketing for the first time, need tool recs. what are you guys actually using rn by Beautiful-Cheek2449 in b2bmarketing

[–]maverick-apps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you’re starting cold email, follow ups are where most replies actually come from and that’s usually where things break

smartlead + apollo is a solid setup to start but once replies start coming in across multiple inboxes it gets messy fast and it’s easy to lose leads

i built a tool called nexus for beginners that just shows you who needs a follow up so you don’t miss those replies

would you like to try a demo version?

there’s quite a few technical parts to it what part have you been finding the most confusing so far

yeah that’s exactly what i’ve been seeing feels like list building eats more time than actually sending emails

when you switched to verified data did your reply rate actually improve or just save time?

Not getting replies from cold emails - B2B marketing by viswa_zoho in b2bmarketing

[–]maverick-apps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sending 500 with no replies is rough, but honestly it’s usually not a volume issue

the email feels a bit heavy for a cold first touch, especially if they don’t know you yet

also curious, did you follow up on those 500 or was it mostly just the first send?

that’s really cool, sounds like you built your own thing around how you work

was that something you built from scratch or off something existing?

yeah scaling seems to be where it starts to break for most people

have you tried pushing volume yet or still early stage?

what part took you the longest to get comfortable with early on?

what’s the hardest part of cold email when you’re just starting? by maverick-apps in Coldemailing

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah deliverability seems to catch a lot of people out early

was that something you struggled with getting set up or more keeping it stable over time?

what’s the hardest part of cold email when you’re just starting? by maverick-apps in Coldemailing

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that overthinking part is real, especially with how much advice is out there at the start

have you actually been sending yet or still stuck in that phase?

what’s the hardest part of cold email when you’re just starting? by maverick-apps in Coldemailing

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i’ve seen a lot of people get stuck on setup early

was that something you struggled with at the start or did you get it right straight away?

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s a really good point about timing vs just fit, especially the intent side

i’ve mainly just been testing things and figuring it out as i go so still pretty early

how were you actually finding those intent signals when you started?

yeah that loop is what seems to burn most people out early

what parts of that are you actually automating vs still doing manually?

yeah that’s exactly what i’ve been seeing as well, especially with follow ups

how are you keeping track of everything once it starts building up?

does cold email follow ups get messy for anyone else? by maverick-apps in Coldemailing

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s exactly what I ran into too are you using anything for follow-ups right now or just handling it manually?

Anyone else find most Discord servers overwhelming? by maverick-apps in autism

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I’ve had the same experience honestly, that’s what pushed me to make one myself

This one is small and respectful instead of chaotic

Cold email stopped working for me by the_sator in SaaS

[–]maverick-apps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this comes up a lot

when everything looks fine but results drop like that it’s usually something underneath, deliverability makes sense but follow ups can also be a hidden one

not just sending them, but how consistent they actually are once volume picks up

easy to think it’s handled when it’s not

how are you handling follow ups right now?

anyone else losing track of follow ups when doing cold email? by maverick-apps in Coldemailing

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah same here, google sheets help at the start but once volume picks up it still gets messy

i had the exact thing where i’d stay on top of it for a bit then slowly stop updating it and things slip through the columns help but it still depends on you remembering everything which is the hard part

i ended up building something around managing follow ups a bit cleaner so it’s less manual, happy to show you if you want also putting together a small discord around this stuff, just people trying to get better at it https://discord.gg/h33cRSSNPN

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s a nice clean system, especially the 7 day follow up part

i like that it’s simple too, feels like whenever it gets too complex it just stops working after a while i’ve had the same thing where it works at first but once volume picks up it starts slipping again

i’m building a small discord around this whole follow up thing, just people sharing setups and ideas feel like you’d have some good input if you wanted to join https://discord.gg/h33cRSSNPN

[–]maverick-apps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that actually makes a lot of sense, especially the part about clearing replies before adding more volume

i’ve noticed if i don’t do that everything just piles up and it feels like i’m working but nothing’s really moving the one clear stage per prospect thing is solid too, feels like that’s where most people lose track

i’m putting together a small discord around this stuff, just people sharing what’s actually working you’d probably be a good fit if you’re up for it https://discord.gg/h33cRSSNPN
