If you want to know how you can do the same stick around to the end of this post, give it a LIKE 👍and I'll show you exactly how you can copy what I did for yourself. The hardest part of starting an online business isn't finding clients. It's having something to sell them that they're actually looking for. Jay calls this the Foot-in-the-Door Offer. You know the feeling. You want to help businesses, you want to make money, but you don't have case studies yet. You're basically asking people to trust you based on... what exactly? And even worse, you're guessing at what they need instead of letting them tell you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎄 Here's What Happened I sent a super simple white label SaaS video to a business owner who was referred to me by a former business associate. Nothing fancy. Just walked through a few different services I could help with. They wrote back asking about a service mentioned in the video that I had NO IDEA they were looking for. That one video turned into $10,000 in revenue generated. Not because the video was perfect. It was because it gave them a solution to a specific pain they were feeling at the time. This same Foot-in-the-Door strategy generated over $500K in revenue in the first year, and connected me with higher profile clients. If you've gone through Jay's Intro or Copywriting modules, you've heard him break down why foot-in-the-door offers work. This is that principle in action, you stop feeling like you're asking for a favor and start offering value. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎁 Your Christmas Gift From Me (And a Fellow Insider) If you're looking for a foot-in-the-door offer that actually works, with zero fulfillment, I want to help you kick off 2026 with a bang. Here's what we're doing: We'll give you a white-label video, messaging, + offer fulfillment that you can use. All you need to do is some outreach to prove to yourself that sending targeted messaging that solves a prospect's pain actually works...

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.

I cut my agency's tech stack from 50 tools to 20. Revenue went from $200K to $800K/month. Three years ago I was paying A LOT of money for software I barely used. I did a brutal audit: Does this generate revenue or deliver client results? If no → cancelled immediately. My lean 20-tool stack: - Cold email infrastructure keeping us out of spam. - Lead generation finding qualified prospects at scale. - Automation connecting everything without breaking. - LinkedIn running on complete autopilot. - Team operations costing pennies on the dollar. Every tool either fills our pipeline, closes deals, or delivers for clients. Everything else is dead weight. Comment “TOOLS” for my full stack + discount codes 💰

Most agencies get destroyed on cold email because they pitch like this: "Hey [Name], we help businesses… Interested?" Response rate: 💩 We flipped it. Instead of pitching PR services, we reach out as journalists who want to cover their story. The approach: "Hey [Name], working on a story about [their industry]. Saw your [specific achievement] and thought it'd be perfect. Got 15 mins to chat?" Results: - 1.26% reply rate (vs 0.6% industry standard) - 67.6% positive replies - $141K pipeline from one campaign Why it works: People WANT to talk to journalists. It's free PR for them. Nobody wants another sales pitch. Once they're on the call and trust is built, we naturally transition to paid services. And yes, we actually DO write about them. Not bait-and-switch, just leading with value first. Where we're at now: - 890 mailboxes - 700K emails/month - Inc 5000 recognition Want the full training on how we did this?

Does anyone tried prospecting with LinkedIn? I think it's also a great tool for getting prospects beside cold email marketing. What tactics have you used that had good results?
