Do you think cold outreach is dead?

Question

In the last 6 months, I've personally met 2 founders who bootstrapped their startups to 150K+ ARR (in 1 year) just by doing Cold Calls and Cold Emails.

Both of them are from Germany, building simple SaaS products without any advanced technology.

Cold outreach has always been tough, it's tougher these days due to privacy laws and expensive social ads/seo, we have found ithat if you know your ICP - it still works well at events Russ. Please support our launch today, cheers Mike 🚀😀

That's too general a statement, it really depends on the industry, product, target audience etc. Also, while cold calls i think seem very very old style, and annoying (Especially for millenials and younger), cold emails and what not, are sometimes crucial.

Answer

It's very much alive today. Once you have the correct audience, it will become easier—even though it can be difficult at first.

Answer

It is still very much alive. It may be tough in the beginning but once you've got your right audience it will get easier.
