Nobody gives you real feedback on something they got for free. Somebody on the AMA offered to be a guinea pig for something I'm building, and it got me thinking about the order I actually use. The best guinea pigs are, first, my team. Second, my Insiders. Third, people who are actually paying me. And you don't really get the real feedback until people are paying you money. That's what I learned launching Consulti, our cold email lead gen software. We had our team demo it. Then we had our Insiders demo it. I got pretty solid feedback out of both of those rounds. Then people started paying me for it, and man, it was a whole different level of feedback. My guess at why: a free tester will tell you what's broken, and a paying customer will tell you what's broken in the exact workflow they needed to finish today. Free testers aren't lazy, they're just not under the same pressure. Someone testing as a favor pokes at it with whatever part of their day is already flexible. Someone who paid runs it straight into their actual constraints on day one, and their tolerance for a rough edge is zero. I'm not telling you to skip the friendly rounds. I still run them. My staff is demoing and debugging the next thing I'm building right now, and that round will catch plenty. Just don't read a clean internal test as evidence that you're ready. Read it as evidence that you removed the obvious problems. The painful ones are still out there, waiting for somebody with a credit card. Which group are you testing with right now?

I have seen a few post in the discussion about this, but I found this last week and wanted to share it. I was going through a period where I was struggling to get leads, also why I joined this community. I needed a low-cost solution and I figured one out and was able to start scraping for about $4. The paid ads route was one that I didn't want to take, so I found a website called Apify.com. Here was the order of operations to complete: 1. Pick who hires you. Like property managers or builders near you. 2. Use a Google Maps actor/scraper. It gets their names, phones, and websites. 3. Put them in a sheet. Call 10 a day. I was able to get just over 1,000 leads this way for about $4. I hope this is useful, crush this week!

Reply: New Question : What to Test Next What CTA ( is change the whole copy and test a different concept )

Hi everyone, I’m relatively new to cold email, although not to lead generation generally — I’ve mainly used Google Ads, Facebook Ads and SEO in the past. I’m now starting cold outreach for a B2B lead-gen business and I’m trying to understand the best practice around sender identities when using multiple sending domains. Is it generally better to use a real person’s name where that person has a genuine LinkedIn profile and online presence? Or is it acceptable to use different sender aliases that don’t have any online presence? My concern with using a real identity is the footprint across multiple domains. For example, say I eventually have 30 sending domains with up to 3 inboxes per domain. If I used the same person repeatedly, I could end up with addresses like: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Then on another domain: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] …and so on across many domains. Would having essentially the same sender identity repeated across lots of related domains create an undesirable footprint? The alternative would be creating different aliases for different inboxes/domains, which gives much more variation — but those people obviously wouldn't have LinkedIn profiles or any genuine online presence, so potentially there is less trust if a prospect looks them up. So I suppose my main questions are: 1. Do you generally use real identities or aliases for cold-email sending accounts? 2. Is it fine for one real person to appear across multiple sending domains? 3. If so, how much variation, if any, do you use in the actual email addresses? 4. At larger scale — say 20–30 domains and 50–90 inboxes — how do people normally structure sender identities without either creating a huge obvious footprint or inventing dozens of fake people?
