Good tip if you're doing low volume sending
Costs pennies
Can generate thousands
Try it out yourself 👇
P.S. Easter egg in the middle of the video

An apology I didn’t anticipate drafting at any point.
When we built Salesforge, our goal was to help companies cut costs by consolidating the bloated stack of outbound tools.
We may have gone too far.
We are currently investigating reports of unprecedented budget surpluses, forcing finance teams to re-evaluate what to do when half their software spend suddenly vanishes overnight.
This “crisis” of leftover budget was an unforeseen, albeit welcome, side effect. Customers are already reporting unusual decisions, like hiring a full-time EDM DJ to hype SDRs during cold calls, or installing espresso machines in every bathroom stall for “pipeline efficiency.”
We sincerely regret the radical savings your team will now have to explain to the CFO.
We're sending 40M cold emails per month now
That averages to around 1.3M per day
Here's some no bs advice on how to make it print money
5) 99.99% of people will fail on Outbound
If you have 0 knowledge, you're better off hiring someone who can actually do it properly
Won't be cheap but it will still be cheaper than running it yourself and failing
I do outbound for a living
And there's a good reason why I can live off of it
It's cause I don't do sh*t like this
1) She's pitching ME LinkedIn outreach, I have the numbers in my headline lol
2) The DM's feel like I've subscribed to instructions on how to disassemble a BMW diesel engine in under 60 minutes
If you actually want to make sure LinkedIn dm's work
1) Make it conversational, almost SMS like
2) NEVER send more than 1 followup in a sequence, you have higher chances of converting the prospect if you put them in another sequence 4-8 weeks later
3) pls make sure you're not pitching the same stuff they sell themselves
P.S. if you feel like it's too hard to start sending dm's, then this is your competition. Trust me you're good
P.P.S. If you don't want to handle it yourself -> outboundpros.io
Been testing multiple "unlimited" data providers over the last 6 months
And only two have stayed in my stack
Here's why
Most providers treat "unlimited" as a new pricing option
Add "unlimited" to the package
But rate limit the crap out of it
New provider popped up last week, screams "unlimited", but the fine print says "200k per day max"
And that's not how you build a reliable client base
Here are the two providers that have stayed in my stack
1) @blitzapi ran by Antoine Blitz
2) LeadOcean.io ran by Ashish Rai
Blitz is a very safe option for about 95% of people running outbound daily
But if you really need large quantities of data that's very hard to get to, LeadOcean is the way to go
Also if you ping Ashish directly, he will be able to hook you up with some very nice datasets (tell him Janis sent ya)
Both of these run about 200 RPS
Which is the golden standard
I've also tested like 12 more "unlimited" datasets
None of them have really stuck around
And the problem is not even that they falsely advertise
It's also a problem with very outdated data
Let's say you launch a campaign
And you look at it. A day later you see, "Oh there's a 2% reply rate."
And 1.5% of that is just, "Hey I've moved on from this position."
That's a reply rate nobody wants to see
Also Google is actively monitoring every single reply that comes in like that
Which means that it essentially is a soft bounce
Even if you run them through a verification tool
Won't help you with the quality of the dataset
You must choose a provider wisely
If you don't want to spend money on useless data and burned infrastructure
One thing I hate with Azure mailboxes is that Microsoft blocks sending completely
And it inflates bounce rates up to 80% in some cases
I would rather live in spam than get blocked by Microsoft completely
Any thoughts?
I have 180 followers on X
And still managed to book 4 demos off of my content
What will happen at 18k?
Let’s #connect if you’re building something cool!
This week we've added additional 17M email sends to our monthly volume
Previously it was a bit over 12M which we accumulated in the last 6 months
and in 2 days we more than doubled the sending volume
Which means we're sending more than a Million emails everyday
Decent
I've been using @gojiberryai for the last week now.
And even though I don't like signal based outreach
I've been using it for signal based widenet
And so far in a week, we've generated over 120 leads
Just by doing "low volume" widenet
I've only sent around 60,000 emails
And it's been pumping hard
If you want the playbook comment "WIDE" and I'll send i to you
