🚫 Stop Sending DMs That Reek of Desperation (Steal This Cold Message That Actually Got a Reply) 95% of DMs being sent right now? 💩 They read like a Fiverr VA copy-pasted it from a 2021 YouTube tutorial. You know the ones… ❌ "Hey [First Name], I help busy founders scale to 6-figures using my proven 3-step system…" ❌ "Quick question for you... 👀" ❌ "I saw your profile and thought we might be a great fit!" If you've ever sent one of those, this is your intervention. Because you're not just being ignored—you're being categorized. 🧠 As forgettable. 🗑️ As background noise. 📉 As someone not worth replying to. 🧠 How I Flipped It, just like @Jay Feldman teaches. Instead of ignoring a guy who'd been DM'ing me like an amnesiac AI… And this guy is a fairly well established influencer with a sizable IG, YT & Skool Community. I sent this: Not gonna lie --> you've hit me with more "Hey Ian"s & "How's Biz?" than an MLM recruiter w/ amnesia 😂 Figured I'd wait to reply until I had something worth showing. In the last 12 months: 222 new customers. $572K in revenue. {SCREENSHOT PROOF} All from a similar offer and audience size to yours. Not saying you're leaving money on the table... But if you are, your weak ass DM game is probably why. ✌️☮️ Guess what happens next? 👀 He replied instantly. Then booked a call. 🧨 Why It Worked ✅ Pattern interrupt – Casual. Funny. Not trying to sell. ✅ Leads with proof – No bait. Just data. ✅ Curiosity over pitch – Hints at the gap without bragging. ✅ Reverses the dynamic – He chased me. 💥 Want to Write DMs Like This? Here's the formula: Open with a jab – playful, honest, bold Drop results – numbers > adjectives Create curiosity – no neediness, just a window Position yourself as the shortcut – without pitching Shut up and let them ask 👉 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 "𝘿𝙈𝙎𝙇𝘼𝙋" 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙅𝙖𝙮 𝘿𝙈 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘿𝙈'𝙨 It using the exact method above. Stop Getting Ignored. No more spam. No more guessing.

Most cold emails fail before the open. Because their subject line screams: “I’m about to sell you something.” And the brain deletes those instantly. Think about the usual ones: • “Quick question about your business” • “Interested in growing your revenue?” You already know it’s a pitch. So you never even open it. What actually works? Subject lines that feel normal. Like they could come from a colleague, partner, or someone you already know. Examples: • “Thoughts on this?” • “Saw your post about this” • “Chicago next week” • “Is this your competitor?” Nothing salesy. Just curiosity + relevance. And one thing most people miss 👇 Your first line matters just as much as the subject line. Those two lines together are the entire preview. If they feel generic → ignored If they feel human → opened The goal is simple: Make your email feel like a conversation Not a campaign If it could pass as a message from someone they already know… You’ve already won half the battle. Comment “Copy” and I’ll share the prompt I use to generate subject lines that actually get opened.

One of our members just shared this (check the image) 👇 Here are the key lessons to take away: - Short copy is no longer optional Gmail is heavily weighting engagement signals. Long emails = skim → ignore → spam signals. Short copy forces clarity and faster replies. - Volume per inbox matters more than total volume 5k/day sounds aggressive, but spread across 750 inboxes = safe. The real danger is overloading individual mailboxes. - Inbox reputation > domain age Reply rate bouncing back to 6% is the real win here. Once replies recover, inbox placement follows. - Consistency beats clever tricks No hacks. No gimmicks. Just disciplined sending, tight copy, and respecting inbox limits. Bottom line: Adjust the system, and deliverability comes back. If you’ve tested similar changes, drop what’s working (or not) below 👇

Hi everyone, just posted a lead magnet about the single prompt that got me 13 potential clients in 1 day. Appreciate any comments and reposts. Thanks! 💪 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/freek-de-bresser_this-one-prompt-got-me-13-potential-clients-activity-7403848245212250112-IEYj?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADVvFSwBaBEfsQj7-cPp4VHMBBxgxFYBftw

I did a one-time inbox placement test through Instantly and all of them are good, except Microsoft is ~60%. I know you have the automation option, but as you select a campaign for such a test, does this inbox placement auto-testing still work wheter the campaign will be turned off later or does the test only work on life campaigns? And so do the automations always keep working, regardless of which campaign you select to use for the test?
