@DeanFiacco Checklist

We check 47 things before launching a client campaign. Domains, auth, warmup ratios, content rules, volume ramps, list hygiene, monitoring, error fixes. 8 sections. 47 items. A 2% bounce rate undoes a month of warmup. The word "AI" in your subject is a spam signal because 70-80% of senders use it. 8-page PDF. Comment CHECKLIST and I'll DM it.

@termsheetinator Can you explain and give examples of {{custom variables}} and no explicit ask/soft relationship frame?

50 cold-emails campaigns : 354,471 unique contacts Here's the data: (Finance Products) Copy length to Reply rate: -Ultra-short (1 line question) = 2.27% -Short (2 lines) = 1.87–1.87% -Medium (3 lines) = 0.84–0.99% -Long (bullets, proof points, 4+ lines) = under 0.70% (Excluding CTA counting as a line) Write shorter, simpler copy. Your grandma or niece should understand it. CTA (ranked by reply rate): Relationship frame: 1. No explicit ask / soft relationship frame = 2.65% 2. "Happy to make an intro" = 2.12% 3. "Worth a quick call?" = 1.11% 4. "Can I send a deck / case study?" = 1.49% Subject line: 1. {{firstName}} - {{custom_variable}}? = 2.58% 2. {{firstName}} - {{relevant_keyword}}? = 1.57% 3. {{companyName}} - {{relevant_keyword}}? = 1.88% 4. RE: / FWD: {{custom_variable}}? = 0.93% Get AI involved in your work flows and scrape for custom variables is the consistent meta. We're seeing the RE / FWD gimmick come back around so we're using it again this month. Be careful using RE:/FWD: on cold outbound. It signals low trust before the email opens but when it works, it works. The winning copy structure (Averaged a 1.65% reply rate, PE M&A): Excluding OOO [firstName], [thought/figured] [companyName] would [appreciate/value] [building/developing] a relationship. [Low-friction benefit - access, connection, direct reach]. [Soft CTA — intro offer or implied curiosity]. When copy stops working - check the list first: PE & M&A campaign ran dozens of campaigns with the same copy. Reply rates: → 1.96% → 1.55% → 1.87% → 1.65% → 1.94% → 0.94% The 0.94% came from loading a fresh list 3 months later. When performance drops, the first variable to check is list saturation - not copy quality. Fingerprinting is real - when it happens we then branch the working copy into new iterations that hold the same context/offer positioning before considering it cooked. Campaigns: →1-3 lines →Relationship CTA has been killing →No RE:/FWD: subjects unless it's cooking →Fresh list and copy variations before brand new copy →Use InfraSuite Outlook mailboxes →Speed to lead →Sales asset for consumption →Book calls

@termsheetinator SPAM

If your cold emails aren’t landing, nothing else matters. Most GTM teams are sending solid offers that never even get seen So I built a small open-source tool that: -scans your email for spam triggers -rewrites the parts killing deliverability -makes it sound like a normal human wrote it - No long prompts or guessing. Just paste → clean version → send Think “Grammarly” but for inbox placement Open-source. Free. Like + comment “SPAM” and I’ll send the repo (must be following so I can DM you)

@jn_jackk List

Have a list of 1M+ founders and CEOs Verified emails, phone numbers, etc. Sourced from various private databases Like + comment 'List' and I'll dm it to you

@termsheetinator 9

If you don't have The 9 Parts of A.I. Cold Email™ like and comment “9” and I’ll send the link to you.

@THArrowOfApollo CODE

Clay’s new pricing is probably my fault. We were paying $314 a month, but using (based on their new model) $214,087.50 worth of Clay a WEEK. Here’s the story: A year ago Clay's head of product hopped on a call with me. I told him we were hitting their platform 17.3 million times per week. Almost all custom events (i.e. HTTPs) I remember his response being something close to "Holy shit, I think you are the largest user of Clay" I said yeah that doesn't surprise me. But then it also came up that we were only paying $3,769 a year. We talked about HTTPs, custom integrations, how we were basically using Clay as a giant API orchestration layer. I knew his wheels were turning. If you saw my last post, you know we eventually replaced Clay entirely with a $200/mo Claude Code subscription. 272,000 leads per second vs Clay's 27 hours for the same volume. But before we left, we were the perfect case study for why Clay's old pricing was broken. $314/mo for 17.3 million weekly, for what they now call ‘actions’. Run the math. We were paying $0.00001815 per action. Clay announced their new pricing structure. They split everything into Data Credits and ‘Actions.’ Actions are HTTPs, custom integrations, API calls. The exact things we were doing 17.3 million times a week. The new price per action credit works out to about 1.24 cents each. A 681% price increase for us I know you might say, "But Clay is letting people stay on the old pricing if they want," and I hear you but I also don't know how it makes me feel that someone brand new would have to pay $856,350 per month to get the same advantages I had when I was starting out only 3 years ago. I'm not saying that one call caused the entire restructuring. But I am saying their head of product learned that day that someone was running 17 million HTTPs a week for the price of a nice dinner. And now every HTTP costs 1.24 cents. anyways For the last year, we've been trying to figure out how to get off of our dependency on Clay. That was until Cursor / Claude Code / Codex came out My VP of Growth, @James, who doesnt know how to write a single line of code, touched Claude Code for the first time And three weeks later he replaced Clay for us We could process 272k rows per second now for the cost of a Claude Code sub My last post was about that system Then after that post, Clay announces new pricing that specifically monetizes the exact thing we were doing at a massive scale. Coincidence? Maybe. But I may owe everyone using Clay an apology If your Clay bill just went up, you can probably blame me for that one. Sorry! I put together a system blueprint of what I did to replace Clay for myself -- every tool, the tech stack, a Clay vs custom comparison, and a 6-step playbook for building your own. Plus a video walkthrough where I show you the live system and how each tool actually works. Reply CODE below and I'll DM it to you.

@scaling_shields Scripts

i'm gonna regret leaking this but fuck it 20 cold email scripts that have booked me 3,000+ calls took me 2 hours to put together 30 pages of pure copy-paste scripts - the 2-line script that booked 103 calls in 12 days - the client name trick that gets 1%+ reply rates - scripts for agencies, ecom, local, SaaS - the follow-up sequence that books most of the calls - proof from real campaigns after sending 1,000,000+ emails these are the ones that ACTUALLY work like + comment "SCRIPTS" and i'll send it over (must follow + RT for priority access)

@iamliamsheridan SYSTEM

we analyzed 4.7M cold emails across 10+ clients. here's what actually moves pipeline (and what quietly kills it): 1/ more follow-ups hurt you. after a certain point, they don't increase replies. they kill them. most teams don't know where that point is. 2/ same email. 4.3x different results. one small change. same copy, same offer, same list. nearly 5x the outcome. 3/ the metric you're tracking looks great on paper. it's also draining your pipeline. you probably celebrate it. you shouldn't. 4/ there's a setup step almost everyone skips. not exciting. nobody talks about it. but skipping it destroys your deliverability before you send a single email. 5/ winning campaigns don't win because of copy or offer. it's something simpler. something most people walk right past. 6/ outbound isn't broken. your outbound is broken. there's a specific reason it's not working. it's fixable. comment SYSTEM and i'll send you the full breakdown.

@iamliamsheridan show

our average show rate on cold outbound meetings is 79%. industry average is 50-60%. the difference is what you do between 'interested' and the actual call. comment SHOW and i'll DM you the playbook (must be following)

@dan__rosenthal MICROSITE

I stopped sending text-only outreach to my best prospects. Instead, I built personalized ‘microsites’ using Gamma's API and Clay: Each microsite pulls in the prospect's company colors, logos, ICP research, TAM breakdowns, and a customized proposal with a scheduling link. (and it’s all 100% automated) This way, every prospect sees a custom proposal before we ever get on a call. I documented the full workflow so anyone can set this up: • Clay template for account enrichment (importable) • Gamma API call format for microsite generation • Auto-branding logic for colors and logos • GTM analysis prompt structure • Scheduling link integration Comment "MICROSITE" and I'll send it over. PS - The template is reusable. Once it's set up, you can generate a new microsite for any prospect in minutes.
