(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 3 months 56 new customers. $72,408 in revenue. 9 churned. {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 Stop Getting Ghosted? 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 “SLAP” and get the DM Masterclass that’s booked me calls with people way outside my “lane.” No more spam. No more guessing. No more sounding like someone’s virtual assistant. 🧠 You’re either pattern-interrupting…

I currently use something called Seamless AI, Apollo's extension, scrupp, and evaboot. What other scraping tools do people use that you found success with?

is Apollo’s email/phone enrichment worth the credits? Or are you guys enriching elsewhere after scraping?

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...
