The Cold Message That Got Me 5 Replies in One Day (And What I Did Differently) Last month, I sent a message to a VP of Marketing that I almost deleted before sending. It felt too shortโ€ฆ too casualโ€ฆ not โ€œsalesyโ€ enough. But I hit send anyway. 24 hours later: 5 replies. 3 meetings booked. Hereโ€™s what I changed ๐Ÿ‘‡ (And now I use this formula every time.) ๐Ÿ”ฅ My 5-Step Cold Outreach Formula: Start with a hook. First 5 words matter more than the next 50. Make them about them, not you. Drop quick personalization. One line that proves I did my homeworkโ€”job post, recent hire, podcast, etc. Offer real value. Not a pitch. A reason to care. Add social proof. A result, brand name, or statโ€”just enough to build trust. End soft. โ€œOpen to a quick chat?โ€ works 10x better than โ€œLetโ€™s schedule a demo.โ€ The truth? People donโ€™t hate outreachโ€”they hate irrelevant, templated spam. If your message feels like a cold adโ€ฆ theyโ€™ll ignore it. If it feels like a warm conversationโ€ฆ theyโ€™ll reply. Your turn: whatโ€™s one cold outreach rule you never break? I want to hear your approach ๐Ÿ‘‡ #SDRLife #B2BSales #OutboundStrategy #LeadGen #ColdEmailTips #LinkedInProspecting

Hey medial team, "I propose a feature in comment replies where mentions trigger private responses visible only to those mentioned. This would function like a direct message within the comment section."

๐Ÿ“Š 80% of outreach stops after 1-2 messages . Yet research shows it takes 5-7 touchpoints before trust kicks in . Here's the bias We assume โ€œNO REPLY = REJECTION โ€ But Silence isn't rejection... it's often UNFINISHED TRUST . You send a message
