Cold Approaches Fail Brutally Rating People's Cold DM Pitches

What's up guys? This is going to be straight up insanity, my cool agency motherfuckers out there. I know a lot of you guys are doing cold outreach and a lot of times you're sending messages and you're not getting responses and you don't even know what's really happening on the other side. Are they even arriving? Are they getting red? And I get a lot of pitches in my inbox and I wanted to show you guys what it's like actually being on the receiving end. And if you know what everybody else is doing, it's easy to zig. when everyone else zags. Honestly, for the last few years, I've been deleting these, but last couple of days, I decided just to make a little folder of them on Gmail and keep them so we could go through and I'll show you how funny some of these are and also give you an analysis when they missed the mark, why they missed the mark, so you understand better how to calibrate your own. Anyways, let's get into the good shit. All right. So let's go with Peyton first. He says, how's it going, Frankie? So I'll tell you first red flag. He misspelled my name. I'm an IE Frankie, not a Y. I'm not going to hate him for that, but that immediately jumps out as me. Watch some of your videos. Great hook in your skits, by the way. Let's not waste your time. I'm sending this because I'd like to work with you and help you sell through your landing page. I looked it over. You got solid traffic. All credit to you, but it looks like you might be losing potential sales on the page. I just want to prove that I've helped. So I'm going to give you three headlines. I'll tell you, actually, from a messaging point of view, it's a little wordy. I didn't think Peyton's pitch. was bad. Like he's definitely got like good personalization. So like it, I call this naming my baby. So he names my baby. He gives me some like personalized, you know, Hey, I thought your shit was good, but where the value is missing is like, I don't know. I don't like, are you really going to save the world with a couple of headlines? I'm not saying headlines don't matter. But, you know, I'm just like, I don't have time to like, you know, spend hours, you know, optimizing headlines and shit like that. Like it's plus it's the funnels working and it's selling. So like, yeah, I'd like to improve it, but I also don't want to fuck with it too much. So I went around ahead and wrote three headlines. Here's a link, blah, blah, blah. If you're interested, let me know. So this guy, actually, it's not like he missed the mark by a lot. He simply missed the mark by what he was offering me was just some headlines, ultimately, probably leading into some copywriting. You know if he had asked you know like I probably would have been transparent in showing my numbers and and ultimately you know like stuff like that So this is actually probably one of the better ones just so you guys know like most of them aren't that good And actually I wish I could share one with you guys that I deleted before but there was a guy who sent me a message I never saw it. He sent me another message I never saw it and then the third one was like oh you think you're so all high and mighty go fuck yourself Mr. Big shot you think you're blah blah blah and fuck you and fuck this and fuck It was like a lot of fucking shit and piss. And I only saw the third one. And so he like kind of removed himself from that. By the way, most people, they only send me one message. So like hit on me once and then I never hear from him again. This guy right here, I ended up having to block. But look at dear author, right? So like already right there, like, you know, you're not even talking to me. So I already know this is just some automated shit they send to everybody. And I see all the. emojis and shit like this was obviously ai generated also i've clicked unsubscribe on this like 75 times and like it um keeps going. I figured out in Gmail how to just automatically delete that whenever this guy sends them. So I won't be getting any more of these. But like, this is this is as shitty as it gets. Just, you know, like the chance schedule with us here, our commitment, and it's all about themselves, right? Embrace a new chapter with Newman Communications. It's really bad. Like, it's all about them. It's boring as shit. It's AI generated. It's like, this has no chance of working in this day and age, by the way. All right, on to the next one. Dipu Howlander. So this was, I actually think is cool when they start showing pictures of your shit, right? Just so you know. Hope all is well with you. Recently, I watched your videos. Your video is so good, but the problem is you do not complete your channel and video SEO properly. So he's obviously trying to sell me SEO. Honestly, I'm not really that interested in doing SEO on my YouTube channel. So that one sort of misses the mark simply because I'll tell you, if I was trying to rewrite this to actually sell, and it's also a bit long, although I'll tell you the images right here are actually really powerful. The copy is weak as a motherfucker, but the images are really strong. Also, headlines here, you know, like it just sounds like generic boring shit. YouTube channel growth discussion. Whoops, I don't know what I just clicked there. What is this thing anyway? Maybe somebody, one of you guys in the comments can tell me about this. This looks like... Oh, teach Gmail this is important. Definitely not. Anyways, if I was going to try and sell SEO, I would sell this as a first date of like, give me this one video and let me optimize it. That would be it. That would be the pitch. So he's trying to sell me the whole service at once. And a lot of this comes across as just vomiting a merit pitch on me. And I probably got to sign up for a call. And also, I'm waiting for your reply. It's not even clear what I'm supposed to do next. Like a lot of you guys, even if he had made a good pitch and said, let me optimize this video. Like I'm waiting for your reply. You know, like what am I supposed to reply? Like, all right, let's do it. Give me the money, you know, or I'll give you the money. Let's do this. Right. So to me, like he can make this a lot shorter. Just highlight. Hey, check out this one video. I bet you I could get this one to get some views. Would you let me, would you let me run a little test with you? Like that would actually get him a lot farther. Just so you know. All right. Maximilian Krupa. Hey, Greg. Right? So if you want your outreach to fail, start by calling the person the wrong name. That's a good way to do it. Hey, Greg, I was just checking out your YouTube channels. Notice your high levels or videos are hitting a sophistication ceiling. You're speaking to high ticket founders, but the visual. So this just totally reads to me like it was written for someone else. So turn your channel into a high velocity, blah, blah, blah. He wrote all the perfect copy, but he failed two words in. I actually think the headline's bad. Two minutes only. So he's kind of emphasizing that it's a quick pitch. Ethan, hey, Beyond Agency Profits. So I can already tell just so you know that this is automated because he's using some scraper. The scraper puts in this personalization thing with this many channels, blah, blah, blah. Made the handles and workflows, autoclipping, blah, blah, blah. Seven day trial. So he's trying to just basically go to sign up, which you can do, by the way, but it's not even really clear. to me what the benefit of this this is wordy by the way this whole thing just reads as like one long wordy sentences you know 200 you're clearly a machine when it comes to output i wanted to mention remy the ai producer inside made that handles production workflows and auto clipping so to me it would just like if he wanted to say this um simpler it would just be like hey um we got an ai tool that'll help you know with editing do you want to try it out So here's another one. Noor Fatima, hey Frankie, came across your build to blah, blah, blah, strong concept. So I'll tell you to me right here, I can tell this is also AI generated. So hey Frankie, came across your, so video name and then long EM dash like that just reeks of chat GPT. I think the topic has way more click potential than it's getting. By the way, people, just so you guys know, a lot of you guys are selling the wrong things. So like, I don't think any YouTube creator really cares about clicks and watches. Like last I checked, when I go to the bank or I got a bill to pay, I don't go, hey, let me pay you in watches. Let me pay you in views, right? So to me, the more you can like focus on like, hey, I got an idea to sell your thing, like that alone will just change this, right? So like, you know, he's focused on what I would call a vanity metrics. Hey, you want to bump your vanity metrics? Like, eh, not really. And by the way, I just get pitched thumbnails like, I don't know, 30 to 50 times a week. So like when you pitch the same thing as everyone else in the same way, it's just noise. Even if he's really good, he's got an example of his work. I never even usually click on this, but for the purposes of this video, I will. I don't even really like these thumbnails that much. The scammer one's kind of better, but I don't know. So-so. So. And then by the way, this is when people do send follow-ups, instead of like, to me, like what you would wanna do as a follow-up is like make that person a thumbnail if you're gonna try and sell them thumbnails, just for one of their videos, show them the possibility. But what everybody does is just wanted to follow up, just following up, just catching up, just making sure you saw this, like that kind of thing. And I'm like, if I ignored you once, then just making sure you saw it. Hi. You know, I give credit to people shooting their shot, but this is just way off the mark. Share PPAds, AdSpile, and AI Tools and get sponsored on YouTube. Hi, Beyond Agency Frankets. This is Kate from ConnectHout. I'm reaching out to explore a possible paid collaboration. By the way, even though this is really bad copy, these ones tend to get read easier because I can tell this is somebody trying to give me money rather than get me money. get the monies dan kennedy used to say that he had a big um he has a fax machine he say we get a big stack of papers the only way you can apply to work with him is through the fax machine he said every monday he goes over and he separates the faxes into two piles is this somebody trying to give me money or trying to get my money so i can tell this is somebody trying to give me money so even though it's like really bad copy and it's boring those tend to get read more than other ones that don't but the problem with this by the way is they're trying to sell me this entire Pippi ads system. It's a platform for TikTok and Facebook ad intelligence recently enhanced with blah, blah, blah. We're connecting with YouTube. So he's like, they're trying to tell me all about them. And by the way, nobody on the receiving end of cold outreach cares about you ever. So they need to like really kind of very quickly answer the what's in it for you. And the what's in it for you is pretty simple. It's like right here, possible paid collaboration. hey dude we got something that we think would be a really good fit for your audience and we're interested in paying you to promote it can we tell you about it right and a lot of times people don't realize this but when you vomit the entire pitch it's like you meet a girl on the street and you go oh my god you're beautiful i want to have your babies i'm going to live together i want to have a house in the suburbs i want to do all this together i want to meet your parents i want to have you know 3.3 kids we're gonna go here every year and it's just like too much too quickly so the whole point of message number one is just to get a response to get a conversation going not to make the sale in a single leap and bound which is what everybody thinks it's to get a conversation going so they're trying to make the whole sale of pippy ads in a single leap and bound but i haven't even decided i want to promote anything so like to me you know jason canagan calls this the two sales one is this a good idea in general two should I do this with you? They're already trying to sell me step two that we should be doing this with them. In reality, step one is, are you open to paid possible, are you open to possible paid collaborations? We have something that we think would really help your audience. That's it, like that's the opener. And so they could say this with a lot less words. And I'm still gonna obviously wanna know what PippiAds is, but first, like they should even ask me, you know, the first sale, is this a good idea in general? Are you open to this kind of thing? All right, moving on. Hi, following up on my last note, wanted to add one more thing. A lot of marketers and we use Leslie to close like, so this is the most common mistake by the way that people make. Besides that I can tell this is just all AI. Hi, following up on my last note. Just following up, everybody's just following up. Just following up with the boring shit I sent you last time. So they're trying to sell me like marketers in general all have this problem and we created a tool and our tool is awesome. And they're talking about the wrong thing, which is the tool. right so what if the person on the receiving end care about themselves right just close the gap so finding the right people to send their stuff once you have lessee surfacing the right contact and so by the way he they failed the sniff test which is they're saying i can get this in front of the right people and there's no indication that they've actually got it in front of the right people right so to me like he's he's failing his his thing and he's got a separate email which I can tell he's trying to use for getting around spam filters. This is his like spamming email and this is his hey if you really want to talk to me email. But you know we to close the latest the last gap in their workflow so like also his promise is really vague. I don't even know what this means so like I have no idea what he would do for me and this is why by the way the people who sent pictures which I call a demonstration get further because it's like hey you got this one video here right like So by the way, of all these ones we've looked at so far, the best pitch was the first one. The only problem is like their offer of headlines was just not that appealing to me. Hi Frankie, it's Brian from Save Energy and Mount Dora. I don't know who that is or why I'd want them. So anyways, good morning. Hope you're having a productive week. By the way, I think the kiss of death that I know you're gonna send like a generic automated boring pitch is everybody hopes you're doing well. So like, I think most people underestimate how skeptical strangers are in their inbox and how much they get pitched. I noticed there's a B partner request associated with your company that's still marked as open in our system. I wanted to check from whether someone from Arrow ES has already connected with you. If not, I'm here, blah, blah, blah. I don't even know what the fuck this is. Good morning, wanted to follow up with a B partner request that is still marked in our system, blah, blah, blah. And you can see everybody there just spamming this too. They didn't put it in. By the way, for those of you guys when you send email, you can click on instead of going send, you can go to BCC. which is blind carbon copy. So you can send it to a bunch of people, but they don't all see each other's emails. So they're just mass blasting this. And by the way, the number one way for me to ignore you personally, as I'm not saying every prospect is like me, but if I know you're just mass blasting some generic shit and you didn't take even five seconds to learn anything about me or my business, like that's ignore. That's just auto ignore. All right, let's move on. Hi, Frankie. I've been exploring your content, blah, blah, blah, and I really resonate with more beach, less laptop philosophy. You built over 2,800 videos. However, I noticed that such a massive volume content, there's a huge opportunity to revitalize your reach. Most of your golden nuggets are hidden in long form videos. I'd love to help you get results already with a free test edit. So I'll tell you this one, like, okay, so I can tell they've done enough personalization that at least... you know they're there there's a little bit of homework that's gone into this or their tool at least is calibrated to do the homework but the flip side of that is like just being real with you guys i get pitched everybody's the greatest editor if you actually wanted to win me over as an editor like instead of Hey, Beyond Agency Profits with Frankie Finn. So I can already tell this is automated just because, you know, just something, just like going, hey, Frankie, or hey, channel owner name, you know, just wanted to follow up on my last video, blah, blah, blah. If you're interested, I can send two to three editing samples and thumbnails. Can I send? And again, like, just wanted to follow up. Again, nobody cares that you wanted to follow up, right? So like, give them a reason, like right out of the gate, because... I can see where we're going to get views from your thing. I can think of something to sell of yours. Just because you felt like following up is not a reason to follow up. Hey, just checking in. And by the way, this is a common mistake people make in the copy. I simply ask, the person on the other side only cares about themselves, right? So... if you look at the start of every sentence it's i've been checking on i noticed i specialize if you'd like i can put together so who's this about it's like i i me me me so just rewriting this to be about you will get farther i've been checking out your content really respect your work so like if you made this instead of i've been checking out your content which is about you and just say really respect your work Like that makes it about the other person. So you actually like he could delete a lot of words in this sentence And it would get better really respect your work on blah blah blah now That's about me now. He's flattering me and I like it I noticed you've been consistent with blah blah blah, which is great to see however I noticed your shorts aren't getting the reach they deserve which is you Blah blah blah So all of this was just like, you know again I get pitched this all the time like take a step further like show a little initiative and make me a short And again, they're focused on the wrong thing, by the way. I'd love to help your channel reach more people. That's not the end goal. People don't want vanities. People want sales. So like talk to how you want to sell their thing and that, you know, views are a vehicle. So in my case, my thing has a name. It's called Beyond the Agency Box right there. So it's like, I want to sell your book, dude. And I think if we double the number of views, we'll double the number of sales. What do you think? Here's a short. Hey, Frankie, Emergent would like to get you on there. I don't even know what the fuck this is or how I end up on shit like this. Founders at Mosey app. Good morning. I hope this message finds you. I hope you're doing well. Hope this message. I wanted to follow up. So again, like this is again like another one of those. It's I hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up. I just wanted to check in. i'd be happy to make sure you receive the port i want to jump on a call with you good morning so you know they mass blast a bunch of people and then just go did you see it yeah did you see it yeah let's jump on a call and people what most people don't realize is this whole thing is structured as a take a take meaning like you're trying to take my time i don't know you and now you're saying like let's do a call and i just you know if i if i accepted all the requests for a call i would literally have nothing else to do in a week So, you know, I can tell they just mass blast a bunch of people to spray and pray. Hope you're doing well. Send some generic copy. Let's jump on a call. What does be a partner mean? It means I'm trying to give you money. So like they actually get farther by saying a lot less by going, hey, this thing would be a really good fit for your audience. Are you open to a paid sponsorship? Are you open to an affiliate deal? Can we tell you about it? Like, and by the way, I think it's a good idea to ask people's permission before you vomit a pitch on them. Like, I got this simple thing. Can I tell you about it? Like, ask their permission. They'll be far more open to hearing that pitch. And it doubles because half the battle is just getting them to respond at all, right? So once they start talking to you, you can, like, the door opens a crack. Now you can open the door all the way and say, can I come inside, right? But if they don't open the door at all, not even a crack, there's nowhere to go. So, like, that's the other part of this is, They're trying to go sell me the whole thing in an email. When this doesn't work, they're gonna have no idea where to troubleshoot this. Where when I say, can I run an idea by you? And they say, sure, and then I send them the idea and then they go cold. Can I go, can I get your feedback? Like, shoot me down. Feel free to tell me why this idea sucks. And they'll tell you and now I have feedback that I can use to calibrate for the next person, right? Where if... if you just try and shoot your entire shot in one email and it doesn't work you often have no idea where to go and and when when you get responses you can calibrate you can actually just like straight up ask them i i sometimes will say it this way i'll say like you won't hurt my feelings but i would love your just brutal honest feedback tell me why this isn't a good fit for you tell me why you wouldn't buy this tell me why you you're a no for it and that you won't sell that person just you know but they'll give you feedback that enables you to sell the next person Hi Beyond Agency Profits with Frankie Finn and a lot of these headlines paid YouTube feature AI marketing tools your audience will love okay so like actually does get my attention like I'm trying to give you money always gets my attention better just wanted to follow up everybody just wants to follow up Pippi ads Pippi blah blah blah we are officially authorized third party and we can arrange verification Pippi ads people like trying to again they're trying to sell me their whole tools instead of just like going, are you open to this? And also I'll tell you just like something that triggers my sort of spam is the email says Cora and then the name says Brad Alliances. So like clearly they're just creating tons of emails and burning through domains and just blasting away and shit like that. So like I can tell like, you know, this is just like auto spam. Hussein. All right. So this is an example of his work. Hey, Frankie, you see this? By the way, this is already better. Making seven figures. Taking one more partner this month and with everything you're already in place, this would be a goldmine. Let me know if you had a chance to watch that loom. Happy to break down how this would work for you personally. Let me know if you have 15 minutes this week and I'll show you how to add $150K per month with your coaching program. I show proof over hitting $150K with one client, blah, blah, blah. By the way, this is one of the better ones, but I'll tell you a couple of things that I think they're doing wrong. not just from the perspective of creating messaging that gets people to respond, but also like you want to be able to keep this client happy when you're selling. Right. So to me, okay, so he's promising 150K a month. That's like 1.8 million a year. Right. So that's a high bar. Like if you have a client and to keep them happy, you've promised I'm gonna make you almost $2 million a year, right? That's gonna be a harder promise to keep than if you just said, hey, I got an idea to sell one. And right before you can get to 1.8 million, you gotta sell one, right? So to me, if he opened the door with, I had an idea to sell you one or to sell one, and we could do a whole bunch more after we get that one in the door. I think he would actually get further. And also, like, you know, you help somebody sell one. And again, I'm not against Loom videos. I'm the fucking Loom guy. But he's trying to automate this before he's got it working. Like, I can just tell he's trying to skip too straight to, I don't want to do calls, so let's automate everything. Which is why I lean into conversations. And just so you guys know, the way I figure those conversations out in the beginning is not with sales calls. It's email. It's text. It's... messenger right like so i want people's feedbacks i want to invite them to share with me why is this not working why would you say no where is this not a fit for you but i don't jump on calls to do that um but in this case because he skipped straight to video and automation he can't figure out why i'm saying no right he just gave me vomited the whole pitch watch this and i'm sure if he blasts this enough times just like if you ask enough girls hey will you sleep with me somebody will eventually say yes but it's tough to troubleshoot if you have no open dialogue so taking on one partner this month everything you already have in place this would be a gold mine let me know if you had a chance to watch that loom blah blah blah let me know if you have 15 this me so like this is another thing journalism calls burying the lead which is his promises i'm gonna add 150k a month right So it takes him three sentences to get to the juicy bit, right? Like to me, that's the thing you want to lead with. And to me, like I actually think he would do a lot better promising. Like I know how to get one in the next like 48 hours and here's all the proof and stuff like that. So he's doing better at least that he's got a proof and I can see his face and there's like this one at least looks to me more real than the rest of them. But he's also like he's setting such a sky high promise that like I don't believe that this random guy in my... dms is just going to make me two million dollars i just don't so um so he set the bar too high but if he set the bar smaller and said like i think we could do one would you be down to try a little test to do that i think he would get a lot further so let's go back to this folder because i actually think the best one just kind of closing out was it probably actually uh this first one um elements so so like to me like the ones with the images were great the first one was good that last one wasn't bad Hey, how's it going Frankie? Although you misspelled my name, watch some of your videos. Great hook skits. So that's personalized. So I actually know this guy wrote me. That actually like gives him brownie points just so you know. Let's not waste your time. I'm sending this because I'd like to work with you and help you sell. So all of this, by the way, let me not waste your time. I'm sending this because I would like to work with you and help you out. All that's about him. It's only like right here. selling your ebook beyond the agency box that's the thing that that me the person receiving cares about it so he could actually delete all of this and just get into the you know had an idea to help you sell or had an idea for selling beyond the agency box through your landing page um you know and also by the way sometimes people don't realize this but some of the things they say here They trigger bullshit. So he said, I looked it over. You've got some solid traffic coming in, which I do, but he doesn't know how much traffic I have or don't have. So by him saying that, that triggers a bullshit. Like you don't know how much traffic I have. So don't make a claim that you can't possibly know is true. All credit to you, but it looks like you may be losing potential sales. Again, that's speculation. I'm not saying he's wrong. Everybody's losing sales, but... you know again don't don't don't say what you don't know um i wanted to prove that i can help first so i'm going to give you three new headline angles shoot a yes and um and again like that's kind of just like a headline copywriting blah that's all that's like so so for me so so by the way this guy's actually not far from sales if you just change the promise to something more meaningful than a headline also like to me like a replacement offer is better than or an add-on offer is better than a replacement. So a replacement offer is, I'm trying to make your existing thing better. I can do it better, which means I have to agree that my existing one sucks and I want to replace it, which is not necessarily the case. But if he said, you know, we could make a Spanish version of this, or we could make, you know, a spinoff mini course out of this, or, you know, we could turn this into a checklist or a template, or we could turn this into a community, that would actually get him further. And it would still probably involve using a headline, right? So if he figured out how to build something that was complimentary instead of trying to replace it and then combine that with the image demonstration. So what he does have working for him, by the way, is sentence of personalization. So he's obviously writing to me. He names my baby. By the way, every single person you ever message cares about their business and their thing they're trying to sell. So like name it. Don't say I was looking at your shit and I was this and I was this and I noticed. Say your book or. Your HVAC or your HVAC company sells full system installs and like name their HVAC company ABC HVAC sells full system installs or you know Joe's plumbing does emergency calls right like talk about them and the thing they're trying to sell it sounds really simple but you'll notice like It's not common practice. So I hope you guys found this interesting. I hope this was helpful. I know we're probably showing more bad than good and I'm picking on some people. If you guys are actually any of the people who messaged me in this video, sorry, but hopefully I gave you some insights on how to break this down and actually be useful for it. But I'll tell you as a general rule, three sentences. You're just trying to open the door a crack. You're not trying to sell them, you know, buy my piece of real estate on message number one. It's just like one sentence of personalization, one like little thing you're giving them, If you got an image of proof, show it and then ask them to take some simple, small, direct step and you'll get a lot further than most people do. Anyways, that's all I got for you guys in this video. I'm recording this on a Saturday. Happy Saturday and may the Triforce be with you. Buy my book or I will make it so your favorite website redirects to midget porn.

About This Video
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Cold outreach is one of those things everyone thinks they’re good at… until reality smacks them like Stone Cold with a steel chair.

In this video, we’re diving deep into cold DM outreach, cold email mistakes, and why most cold messages get ignored faster than a gym membership in February. I went straight into my inbox, pulled out real-life cold pitches, and we’re breaking them down one by one. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just raw, honest feedback on what works… and what crashes and burns.

Here’s the thing most people don’t realize…

You’re not getting ignored because “people are busy.”

You’re getting ignored because your message sounds like every other copy-paste robot on the internet.

Dear author…
Hope you’re doing well…
Just following up…

Yeah… delete.

Inside this breakdown, you’ll see exactly why cold outreach fails, how bad personalization kills your response rate, and why trying to “sell everything in one message” is like proposing marriage on the first date. Spoiler alert: it’s weird.

We go through real examples pulled straight from the trenches  — from decent attempts that just miss the mark… to absolute trainwrecks that deserve their own episode of The Simpsons.

And here’s where it gets interesting…

Some of these messages aren’t terrible. They just miss slightly. But in cold outreach, slightly off is the same as completely invisible.

You’ll learn:
👉🏻 Why misspelling someone’s name is basically game over
👉🏻 How AI-generated messages scream “I didn’t try.”
👉🏻 The difference between vanity metrics vs actual money-making offers
👉🏻 Why “just following up” is the most useless sentence in marketing history
👉🏻 And how to actually start conversations that lead to sales

There’s also a big lesson most people miss…

The goal of cold outreach is NOT to close the deal.

It’s to open the door.

Just crack it open.

Not kick it down like you’re in Braveheart screaming “FREEEEDOM” with your sales pitch.

And if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like being on the receiving end of hundreds of cold DMs…

This video is basically a behind-the-scenes tour of that chaos.

Some of it is painful.

Some of it is hilarious.

All of it is a masterclass in what NOT to do.

If you’re doing cold outreach, cold emailing, or DM marketing, this might save you months (or years) of frustration… and a whole lot of being ignored.

Watch it. Steal the lessons. Fix your approach.

And maybe… just maybe… your next message won’t end up in the digital graveyard.

Random thoughts on a Saturday.

May the force be with you
