If you’re still stuck at 1% reply rates, it’s not your fault - it’s the old cold email model. Scrape a list → blast emails → hope someone’s interested. That era is dead. Today, the only way to win is by using signals - real triggers that show someone is already interested in your topic. When you combine signals + trust, reply rates jump instantly. And that’s exactly how this KO Method (Key Opinion Leader Method) is pulling 14% reply rates and 49% opportunity rates. What’s the KO Method? Instead of emailing random leads, we go after people who are: - Already engaging with top influencers in your niche - Actively commenting/liking posts related to your topic - Primed for your offer before you ever show up These influencers already did the hard work of attracting your ideal audience. You simply tap into that attention - ethically - and reach out with context. The Workflow (High-Level) 1. Use Trigify Find top creators in your niche → track who’s liking/commenting → pull engagement daily. 2. Push it to Clay Clay qualifies each engager (country, role, relevance). Only good-fit prospects move forward. 3. Find their email Use ICPS, the most accurate + cost-efficient LinkedIn email scraper. 4. Personalize with AI Pull their exact comment/post → generate personalized context. 5. Send via Instantly Use a “Perceived Value Magnet”: A hyper-valuable offer they actually want - not a pitch. This combination solves the 2 biggest cold email barriers: ✔ Relevance (they’re already interested) ✔ Trust (you found them through a shared KOL) No more “Where did you get my email?” No more guessing. Just warm, signal-based outreach that lands. If you implement this system end-to-end, you’ll break past the 1% reply wall permanently. Comment “TOOLS” to get my entire recommended tools list.

Is anyone maintaining or know of a list of which AI is best for which use cases? This is changing daily, of course, which is why it would be so useful. Anyone?

I need a solid list of retirees and those who may be interested in an investment/investing. Any ideas on how to create such a list? Tools? Sources?

Just hopped off Zoom with a sharp founder. Smart guy, great offer — but he’s stuck in solo-mode. Said he’s going to give it one more go on his own. Tweak the copy. Watch a few more YouTube vids. Hope it clicks. I’ve heard this story before. Same founder in 3 months: • No new clients • Inbox issues • Tech headaches • Burnt out, wondering what went wrong He’s doing what most founders do — saving money by wasting time. The irony? He’ll burn way more in missed revenue than he would by installing a working system with guidance. And that’s the real difference… The solopreneur asks, “Can I afford it?” The CEO asks, “Can I afford not to?” So which one are you right now? 💭 A) Still duct-taping with hope ✅ B) Ready to install the system, with backup

Is anyone having any issues with emails gotten directly from Instantly? I am actually hearing good things about them in other groups. Please only respond if you have verifiable information or direct experience. Thank you
