I hope the post is not too long but I want to share my process without having experience in sales, marketing, or any related career since I am an economist. Thanks to @Alan Bell, @Alison Boyle, @Jamie Busby, @Kunal Balgotra and everyone who has helped me in the community by responding to other posts and comments, it has been fundamental to achieve this. 🧠 Education I have spent the previous two months before founding the agency educating myself a lot: - I have seen many videos. - I have read a lot. - I follow many expert people on the subject on LinkedIn who give you free daily tips. - Communities like this one created by @Jay Feldman ✉️ Process of setting up the cold email system - First and most importantly, I have correctly configured the DKIM, DMARK, and SPF codes for the domains. - I have defined a single niche and have concentrated all my energies on this one. - I have defined an ICP taking into account: Country Industry Sub-industry Job position Number of employees in the company 💬 Meetings I have spent two months sending emails only to people in the defined niche. Once people started responding I started having a lot of meetings. It is hard to take all the calls because not many are ideal clients but it is where I have learned the most about: - Pain points of companies. - Problems they have had with other agencies. - Strategies that they have used and that have not worked for them. - How to improve the offer you can make regarding the price. - I have lost the fear of talking to C-level and manager-level people. - I have acquired business skills that I didn't even know I had. - I have no experience in marketing or sales, but as I had more meetings my level of confidence increased and that made me look like an expert on the subject. 🗣️ Pitch In this process of meetings I have been improving my pitch, initially, I did not tell them that the agency was new. However, I then approached this issue as a strength, mentioning that it is an opportunity for the client since they would not be another client on my list and that my success depends on the success of my clients so I was going to focus all my energies on making them a successful campaign.

Yo! Quick question before my coffee kicks in... 🤔☕️ Would y'all be interested in learning how to slide into DMs without looking like every other "guru" out there? You know, the ones who start with "Hey 👋!" 🤦‍♂️ We've got this pretty sick DM masterclass lined up with a 3x 2 Comma Club Award Winner, that was supposed to be exclusively for our paid INSIDERS. BUT...I've been reading your posts, and damn, some of you in the FREE Secrets community are on fire and CRUSHING IT! So I pitched a crazy idea to the team and our special guest coach... What if we opened up a few spots to our Secrets fam? 👀⚠️ IMPORTANT: This isn't your typical "copy-paste this magic script" BS. This ain't about: ❌ That played-out script everyone's using (you know the one...) ❌ Those cringe "Hey boss babe!" openers ❌ Some sketchy automation bot that'll get you banned ❌ Pushy sales tactics that make you feel like a used car salesman ❌ Promise-the-moon-deliver-a-rock strategies ❌ That weird guru-speak nobody actually uses IRL Instead, this is the raw, psychological stuff that: ✅ Works whether Instagram is up or down ✅ Keeps working even when the market shifts ✅ Makes you stand out (without being weird about it) ✅ Actually gets responses (imagine that! 😱) Here's the catch (because there's always a catch, right?): 1. The webinar room has limited space (tech limitations, not fake scarcity) 2. We need enough interest to justify opening it up 3. Not everyone who wants in will get in (keeping it real) If you want a seat, drop a comment below with: 1. Your biggest DM struggle right now 2. What you'd do with a consistent DM strategy 3. Why you should get one of these limited spots The most interesting responses might just get first dibs... 😉 PS: If you're currently using "Hey! Saw your profile and..." PLEASE comment below. You need this more than you know! 😂

Hello everyone, I started my lead gen agency a month and a half ago for Spanish-speaking countries. The system is working well and I have had many positive responses without using many mailboxes and with a very low sending volume since they are new mailboxes so they are not at maximum capacity. I have already overcome the first steps of reaching the inbox, having the emails opened, and receiving positive responses. However, I have not yet been able to close a deal. How can I overcome the barrier from having 0 clients to having 1 and start showing success stories? I currently have 5 to 7 meetings a week but clients get off the train when I tell them the agency is new. Any recommendations to address this situation?

I am not sure if people are interested in this or not but I created this clay table to send thousands of emails without using clay credits. https://www.loom.com/share/f5e53f9c9b6d440184cb8119dafeb6c7?sid=fb4c8003-cb64-409e-8d78-939981cadc11 If you guys are interested in more details or more content like this let me know in the comments bellow or reach out to me.

Ever wonder how the hell someone turns ONE cold email into a $100M company? I'll show you. Meet Jason Cohen. He built WP Engine from zero to $100M with 500+ employees. But here's the crazy part... It started with possibly the simplest cold email I've ever seen: ----------------------------------------------- Hey, I'm the founder of a new WordPress hosting company. It's designed for folks like you so I'd love to talk about any pain you've got with WordPress and get some feedback. Now, I know your time is valuable. You're a consultant. I don't want you to feel like I'm trying to grab time from you. I'm very happy to pay whatever you think is fair for an hour of your time. Even if it's more than your normal hourly rate because I appreciate it's a weird one-off thing. -Jason ----------------------------------------------- 💯 Look carefully: This email got a 100% response rate. Not 20%. Not 50%. Everyone responded. Why? Because Jason did something most founders never do: - 🤓He didn't try to sound smart (notice the casual “Hey”) - 1️⃣He targeted ONE specific audience (WordPress consultants) - 💰He offered money upfront (instead of that BS "pick your brain" nonsense) - 🙅‍♂️Zero pitching—just asked about their pain points - ⏲️Showed respect for their time (crucial for consultants) But here's what most people miss: The magic wasn't in the template. It was in knowing exactly WHO he was talking to. 🔑 Key Insight: WordPress consultants were getting pitched hosting solutions daily. But nobody was offering to PAY THEM for feedback. That's the difference between “copying” a template and understanding why it works. 💡
