The short answer is it works if done right. That's why I've built salesforge.ai
I prefer to work with warm connections via business networking. I have put together a mini-guide on business networking if anyone wants a copy.
I am also building a more in-depth business networking workshop/course if you want to be notified when it is ready.
Cold emailing can be a hit or miss, but with a thoughtful approach, it's like sliding into someone's DMs with a purpose - make it personal, valuable, and impossible to resist.

I think it works for some industries which are not over-exposed to cold-emails but could fail for SAAS or other similar digital focused businesses that are buried under cold-emails.
As far as I am concerned personally, I don't mind cold-emails. I read them when I can, but I don't like cold-outreach messages.

Great if done well by growth hackers.
Horrible in the hands of salespeople trying to do marketing.😆
In the end it's always worth trying, but depends on industry and audience.
Hi bro, I have a small suggestion for you. If you post a question to this community, at least try to interact with them instead of simply posting a question daily. I have noticed that you regularly add posts, but I have never seen any interaction from you.
I run service-based business so it's fuel for me.

Cold emailing can be a great way to generate leads and sales. However, it's important to use it in conjunction with other marketing strategies. If you only rely on cold emailing, you'll likely be disappointed with the results.

I don't mind them and I can see the value in them. I just wish some of them would actually be relevant to my industry and my line of work.
It depends a lot on the country and corporate etiquette. In some countries, all communication goes through messengers, and mail is perceived very strangely, but in other countries exactly the opposite. I think, a well-written letter always works.

Cold emailing does work. However, you should take a strategic approach while sending cold emails rather than sending email blasts randomly. Use CRMs to segment your users, personalize your emails, and send tailored emails to your users according to the segment they belong to.
We have created an AI-Powered Email Marketing Product that precisely does this. In fact, it is launching here on the 9th. Do check it out and hit the notify button if you like it.

Cold emailing can be an effective strategy when used strategically and respectfully. It allows for direct outreach to potential customers or collaborators. However, it's crucial to personalize the emails and ensure they provide value to the recipient. Mass, generic emails are often ignored and can damage a brand's reputation. A well-crafted cold email should be concise, relevant, and personalized to the recipient's needs or interests. It's also important to respect privacy laws and give recipients the option to unsubscribe. Overall, cold emailing can be a valuable tool when executed thoughtfully and ethically.
I think cold emailing is still one of the best outreach method. Technology has changed every other form of communication but emails have stood the test of time.

be prepared to send a lot of emails but make them as personaliy as possible! The more unique the greater chance you'll get a reply.

Cold emailing works if you have the right strategy. I've been running cold outreach for a few years and here's what has worked for me:
- Do not send hundreds of templated emails to a contact book
- Take the ABM approach. Research your ICP and personalise each email to their org and requirements
- Keep your cadences short, no more than 3 emails before you move on
- Include video in your email to generate interest, convey value, and your pitch (include the word 'Video' in the subject line)
- Do a mixture of Email and LinkedIn outreach
My team and I built Show keeping this exact requirement in mind. We wanted to effectively replace Mailchimp, Braze, Intercom, and the rest.

It works much less than it used to but it really depends on the industry and how good your email is. I've received some really good cold-emails and I've replied and scheduled meetings as a result. By really good emails, I mean emails with humor and wittiness where I thought 'okay, that's nice and clever', I'll get back to them.

In my opinion, cold emailing often leaves a negative impression, primarily because there are just too many of them, and many feel like spam. It's become a common practice, but it's rarely executed well. That said, I must admit that I do appreciate a well-crafted cold email that demonstrates an understanding of my personal or business-specific needs. When a cold email is personalized and shows that the sender has taken the time to research and understand my situation, it stands out from the rest and can even lead to a positive engagement.
Cold emailing can be an effective strategy for reaching out to new prospects and generating leads, but it's best suited for businesses with a clear target audience and a well-crafted message that provides value and relevance to recipients.
