Looking to get feedback on my outreach attempts

What's up guys?

I've sent out a few emails to some people I wanted to work with last week, using the "With Your Permission" framework (as I understand, *or misunderstand*, it)

So far, only 1 responded, and it was treated as a "fan mail". Not sure how to continue that one.

For the rest, no response.

In your experience, was it because I misunderstood the approach the "With your permission", or if simply by chance that I haven't gotten more responses. (the people not checking the inbox, etc.)

#1. *First one, worst one*

Subj: Congrats on the new place in Paraguay

Hey Caleb,

I was surprised to see your video on Youtube about the new apartment. Didn't expect you to do Youtube nowaday.

Do you still blog, or is this your main thing now?

Subj: How Do You See Paraguay’s Future in the Nomad World?

Hey Gerald,

I’ve been following your work with Nomad Elite on Youtube, and what really caught my attention is how much you emphasize local expertise—especially with Paraguay.

A lot of firms talk about international living, but few dive into the specifics like setting up real estate investments and banking structures with the same hands-on approach. It’s clear you’ve put serious thought into making sure people actually thrive wherever they relocate, not just tick off paperwork.

I’m curious—was there a particular experience that convinced you local insight and long-term support are essential in this space? Also, with digital nomad visas spreading fast, do you see Paraguay holding its edge, or do you think other regions might become more attractive for relocation in the next few years?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have time!

Cheers,

David

Subj: Loved Your Take on Crypto-Friendly Countries

Hey Rafael,

Just watched your video on the top crypto-friendly countries, loved the way you compared UAE’s banking hurdles with Switzerland’s smooth cash-outs. Didn't expect that El Salvador situation, but glad to know that it's improving.

I'm curious, when you’re setting up clients in these places, what’s been the trickiest part to get right lately? I imagine every region comes with its own curveballs.

Cheers,

David

Subj: That Robert Houdin Quote Really Hit Me

Hey Vinh,

Just caught your TEDx talk on Creating the Most Influential You. That Robert Houdin quote about magicians being actors playing the part hit me hard. It really got me thinking about how communication is all about showing up intentionally in every moment.

I’ve been watching some of your other public talks too. Your idea of shifting perspectives through magic is such a cool way to connect with people. I’m curious, what’s been your favorite story or moment from an audience that made you realize your approach was working?

Big fan,

David

Subj: Anti-Funnel Strategy—What Keeps It Ahead of the Game?

Hi Nicholas,

I’ve been following your anti-funnel strategy and really admire how you’ve moved away from traditional funnels. It makes so much sense. I’ve heard you mention how complexity and mismatched prospects led you down this path.

But I’m curious. What’s been the biggest challenge in keeping this strategy ahead of the curve, especially with so many businesses still stuck in funnel mode?

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Best,

David

#6 *Have a fan mail response* + *Sent via contact form*

Hi Dr. Hardy,

Your thoughts on burnout and “pull motivation” through future self-visualization hit home. I’ve been feeling stuck lately, and that shift in thinking gave me a much-needed energy boost.

Where did the concept of pull motivation first come into your work? It’s such a unique angle—would love to know what inspired it.

Thanks again for the incredible insights!

Best,

David
