“Cold email is dead”? Here’s how I proved them wrong.
I used to send 15,000+ emails a month…
and watch them get buried in inboxes.
- No replies
- No calls
- Just pain
I rewrote subject lines like a maniac.
I stole templates from top “gurus.”
I personalized every line.
Still — nothing.
Until one day, I snapped.
I stopped cold outreach for 10 days.
Not because I quit.
But because I realized…
✖️ “Cold email is dead” wasn’t true.
✔️ My approach was.
So I did what no one tells you to do:
I stopped researching how to write emails —
and started researching who I was emailing.
- I pulled up my dream clients
- Studied their sites, offers, funnels
- Joined their Slack groups
- Read their complaints, rants, case studies
- Noted what they think is broken
- Wrote offers based on their actual pain
And I stopped sending “We help you grow” fluff.
I started sending:
“Noticed your lead form is broken on mobile. That alone might be costing you thousands. Built a system that finds stuff like this in seconds — want to see it?”
No pitch.
No CTA.
Just relevance.
We tested this with 1K emails.
- 72% positive replies
- But bookings were low…
So we fixed the follow-up flow.
Tweaked the calendar drop.
Added audit links & booking nudges.
Sent 966 emails.
- 13 booked calls
- Closed $12.8K in 1st month
- Landed dream client
- Fully automated (never touched inbox again)
Since then I:
→ Helped 35+ agencies set it up
→ Shared our system templates publicly
→ 3,000+ downloads
→ Many landed first high-ticket clients
→ A few tipped us (shoutout to the real ones 😂)
This isn't just cold email.
It's diagnostic selling at scale.
- No “magic subject lines”
- No cringe follow-ups
- Just raw insights + systems that convert
If you’re stuck in that “sending 10k -15k and praying” stage…
- It’s not the channel.
- It’s your approach.
Say less. Show more.
That’s what changed everything.
