About this episode (#421):
In this episode, Jack and Jeremy tear down a cold email Jeremy received that was cleverly crafted but ultimately manipulative, unpacking why it triggered an emotional reaction and how it could have been done with more integrity.
- A subject line like "Love QuickMail, but…" creates curiosity and mimics user feedback, but it's immediately recognizable as a bait-and-switch once you read further.
- Claiming a competitor recommended your product is a head-scratcher as it immediately strains credibility before the pitch even begins.
- Citing an unfounded statistic is presumptuous and insulting, especially when sent to the founder whose entire job is to know that number.
- Withholding the Loom video behind a reply gate contradicts the "I love your product" framing. If someone genuinely wants to help, they should just send it.
- The whole email reads as a mass blast disguised as personal outreach, which burns bridges with a limited pool of qualified B2B SaaS prospects.
- A stronger approach would be to actually record a short, specific Loom showing a real friction point, then follow up with a natural reference to it rather than gating it.
Integrity in outbound isn't just a nice-to-have as it shapes the very quality of the clients you attract and the reputation you build, and no reply rate is worth trading that away.

In this episode, Jack and Jeremy do a live teardown of two real LinkedIn DMs, breaking down what works, what doesn't, and how to rewrite them for better results.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Leading with a high-credibility asset like a Seth Godin interview can work, but the framing needs to challenge or intrigue the reader rather than just name-drop.
- Getting the recipient's job title wrong immediately undermines the message and accuracy in list building matters.
- The transition between a value-first message and a pitch should feel natural and not as a bait-and-switch.
- Pitching a sponsor's tool in a cold follow-up feels forced, it's better to call out the connection honestly and let the reader opt in.
- A weak or absent CTA kills momentum, always give the reader a clear next step.
- Framing an offer as a gift or sample is far more compelling than a direct ask.
The best outbound copy feels like something worth receiving, not something worth ignoring. Small reframes in tone and structure can be the difference between a reply and a delete.

About this episode (#419):
Jack and Jeremy break down one of the most underrated tactics in LinkedIn outreach — using post engagement to identify and connect with high-intent leads. They walk through the exact process of turning public LinkedIn activity into a pipeline of warm prospects.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Post engagement is a reliable signal for finding real, active LinkedIn users who are already paying attention.
- High-engagement posts from competitors and influencers give you a pre-qualified list of people already interested in your topic.
- Referencing a shared conference or event in your connection request creates natural context that dramatically boosts acceptance rates.
- Keep the first message simple and focused on starting a conversation rather than pitching; your only goal is just to get a reply.
- After scraping post engagements, enrich the data to filter by ICP criteria and exclude competitors before reaching out.
- At ~25 requests per day, you can land roughly 100 new connections per week at a 70%+ acceptance rate without triggering LinkedIn throttling.
- The real focus should be converting the connections you're already getting into calls or outcomes, not just sending more requests.
The window to capitalize on this strategy is open now — Jack and Jeremy both emphasize that tactics like this don't stay this effective forever, so the best time to test it is today.

About this episode (#418):
In this episode, Jeremy and Jack brainstorm high-impact LinkedIn A B tests you can run immediately to boost reply rates. What starts as a casual speedboarding session turns into a rapid-fire list of practical experiments, from voice notes to list tweaks to creative CTAs. If you are sending LinkedIn messages and want better results, this episode gives you at least 10 ideas to test this week.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Stripping your message down to just the pain point and call to action
- Using short voice notes to re-engage stalled conversations
- Swapping your CTA for a loss leader or entry offer to lower resistance
- Asking for feedback instead of pitching directly
- Going all in on heavy personalization for a small batch of leads
- Adding a third person into the LinkedIn thread to create momentum
- Using screenshots or images to break pattern and stand out
- Improving results by tightening your list instead of rewriting copy
- Sending a warm up email before the LinkedIn connection request
- Leveraging shared backgrounds such as university, employer, location, or even first name to increase connection rates
This episode reinforces a simple idea. Small, thoughtful A B tests can compound quickly when applied to the right list. Try a few, track your results, and double down on what works.

About this episode (#417):
In this teardown, Jack and Jeremy dissect a cold email from a video clips agency that promises "viral" shorts on a pay-by-results basis. They pick apart the subject line, the fake-sounding flattery, the weak proof, and then live-rewrite the message into something that a busy podcast host might actually reply to.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why subject lines like "Quick question, Jack" feel spammy and get ignored
- How lines like "I stumbled upon your podcast" and "you can already consider me one of your fans" trigger BS filters
- How to write a first line that explains why you are reaching out and connects naturally to your offer
- Using Cialdini's "because" principle to justify your outreach and avoid that pitch whiplash feeling
- Why pay-by-results and "viral clips" claims fall flat without specific proof or examples
- The power of spec work. making one or two free shorts for dream clients to earn attention and replies
- Why a handful of high-effort, thoughtful emails can outperform blasting thousands of generic messages
This episode shows how much impact a few better lines can have on cold outreach results. You will walk away with practical ideas for tightening your intros, sharpening your offer, and using real value instead of empty hype to win over the people you most want as clients.

About this episode (#416):
In this episode, Jack convinces Jeremy to go deep on one of the hardest problems in cold outreach: building a list when your buyers are essentially invisible. They unpack how to find prospects who use internal processes like Scrum or cold calling, even when there is no public signal that gives them away. The conversation introduces creative ways to spot indirect clues and build highly valuable lists that most databases simply cannot provide.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- What an "invisible list" is and why it is so hard to build
- How to identify buyers who use internal processes that are not public facing
- Using job ads, roles, and language as signals of hidden buying intent
- Finding prospects through LinkedIn groups, skills, and thought leaders they follow
- The "birds and bait" framework for spotting indirect signals that lead to ideal buyers
- Mouse and whisker tactics to test for fit without being overly direct
- Leveraging partners, implementers, and adjacent tools to access hard-to-reach audiences
- Why the hardest lists to build often deliver the highest reply rates
This teardown shows that when a list is difficult to create, it usually means the outreach will perform better. By learning how to spot indirect signals and think creatively, you can build lists that competitors relying on databases will never touch.

About this episode (414):
In this episode, Jack and Jeremy share practical ways to boost booking rates when handling warm leads from outbound campaigns. They walk through simple habits and tactics that help you reply faster, cut friction, keep momentum high, and ultimately get more prospects to show up to the calls they requested. The conversation focuses on what really moves the needle once someone raises their hand and how small tweaks in your follow up can dramatically increase conversions.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why replying quickly to positive responses matters and how tools or an assistant can help you stay on top of alerts
- How to remove friction by steering directly to a call and offering simple scheduling paths
- The importance of keeping the conversation on the same channel at first, then layering in multi-channel follow up
- Treating positive replies like VIP leads and following up confidently across LinkedIn, email, and phone
- An aggressive but effective tactic: booking the call for the prospect, then letting them adjust as needed
- Reducing no-shows with a quick, friendly check-in message a few minutes into the scheduled call
- How to handle repeat no-shows while keeping the door open for future conversations
This discussion highlights that warm leads are usually busy, not disinterested. When you make things easier for them and stay proactive, you get more booked calls and more attended meetings.

In this episode, Jack and Jeremy tackle a simple but powerful question. If you could only pull two levers to improve a cold outreach campaign, which ones would produce the biggest lift in both reply rate and ROI? What starts as a theoretical exercise turns into a deep breakdown of strategy, list quality, offer strength, and how to diagnose a campaign that is getting crickets. The hosts compare notes, challenge each other, and map out which levers matter most depending on the situation.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why "strategy" often beats tactical tweaks when a campaign is fundamentally misaligned
- How list quality acts as the real driver of reply rates and buying appetite
- What makes an offer compelling enough to cut through the noise
- How the right vertical vs the right signal can completely change outcomes
- When to rethink segmentation instead of sending more volume
- The role of sharper pain points in grabbing attention
- Why channel selection should depend on where prospects are actually active
This teardown shows that most cold outreach problems aren't solved by adding personalization or tweaking copy. They're solved by choosing the right people, presenting the right offer, and building the right strategy from the start.

About this episode (#412):
Jack and Jeremy do a laid back end of year "water cooler" recap of the episodes that hit hardest in 2025. They revisit the moments they still think about, from sales psychology and empathy to offer creation and a new way to visualize prospecting, plus a quick trip down memory lane with the outreach email that helped kick things off back in 2017.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why Episode 408 with Josh Brown stood out, and how sales psychology applies perfectly to email and LinkedIn outreach
- The "shoe store" story. How better opening questions create instant rapport and better conversations
- Using empathy in sales, including the power of labeling emotions and what happens when you miss the moment
- Episode 403. How to win at outreach when your competitors are better than you, and why educating the market can be the real differentiator
- Episode 389. The future of sales is organic outreach, and why templates keep dying as personalization becomes the expectation
- Episode 411. The "gun to your head offer" exercise for crafting an offer that feels almost impossible to say no to
- Episode 387. The Black Hole B2B Sales Theory, and the "sales universe" model that helps you prioritize warmer orbits and create gravitational pull
This episode is a reminder that the best outreach wins are usually simple. Better questions, clearer angles, stronger offers, and consistent thinking patterns you can absorb by listening to enough teardowns.

About this episode:
Jack walks Jeremy through his "gun to the head" exercise for building irresistible offers in cold outreach. They explore why most campaigns suffer from weak, boring offers and how to move from ridiculous fantasy promises to bold, realistic offers that actually get replies. Along the way, they break down concrete examples and the psychology behind what gets someone to respond to a first message.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why offers are often more important than copy when it comes to getting cold outreach results
- The "gun to the head" exercise. starting in fantasy land where you can promise anything just to break writer's block and surface strong ideas
- How to gradually walk those fantasy offers back into reality while keeping them compelling enough that prospects cannot ignore them
- The "comfort spectrum" of offers. why feeling slightly uncomfortable about an offer is a sign you are ahead of competitors. plus the all important "stomach test"
- The difference between product or service deliverable offers and foot in the door offers. including examples like N95 mask outreach during COVID and podcast interview campaigns
- A live example of crafting an offer to sell a CRM for golf courses. moving from absurd promises to a feasible, high incentive pitch that Jack would actually stand behind
- How principles from Cialdini and first conversation psychology show up in cold outreach. including why small early commitments massively increase the odds of bigger yeses later
This episode is a practical playbook on fixing weak offers so your cold outreach has a real shot at earning replies. Listen in if you want sharper, braver offers that still feel honest and deliverable.

About this episode (#410):
In this episode, Jack and Jeremy tear down a cold email that opens with the line "No one likes a cold email." They explore why this approach fails to stand out and how small details in your inbox preview can make or break your open rates. The conversation turns into a masterclass on subject lines, preview text, and how the overall "look" of your message shapes trust before anyone even clicks open.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why preview text is just as critical as your subject line for open rates - How to engineer your preview text to create curiosity - The hidden role of sender name and domain credibility in trust - Why vague or buried offers instantly kill engagement - How QuickMail's dynamic "sender name mimic" feature can lift reply rates - The difference between good execution and the right strategy - Why great agencies don't stop at outreach—they make sure clients see ROI
This teardown reveals that a high-performing cold email starts long before the message itself. Getting the subject, preview, and sender right sets the stage for every reply that follows.

About this episode (#409): In this episode, Jack and Jeremy sit down with sales legend Josh Braun to explore how to start smarter, more effective cold outreach conversations. They break down Josh's "poke the bear" method, a way to uncover hidden pain points without triggering resistance, and share practical tips for making prospects pause, think, and actually want to talk to you.
Key topics discussed:
- Why cold outreach fails when it starts with pitching or convincing
- How to "poke the bear" by asking questions that expose invisible problems
- Real-life examples from malls, car washes, and contractor bids that illustrate the method
- How to use emotional echoing to make people feel truly understood
- Why it's better to walk away from a bad fit than try to force a sale
- How to tailor your message based on job titles and switching risks
- What Chris Voss taught Josh about silence, trust, and listening for truth
The best cold outreach doesn't push, it creates a moment of reflection. Ask the right question, listen well, and let your prospect talk themselves into the next step.

About this episode (#407):
In this episode, Jack and Jeremy break down a bold connection request on LinkedIn that skips the usual small talk and goes straight for the pitch. They debate whether this "go for the kill" approach ever works in cold outreach, and if so, under what conditions. Along the way, they define a framework for when pitching in a connection request might actually make sense and when it's still a terrible idea.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why most people shouldn't pitch in a connection request
- The rare exceptions where a direct pitch can work
- The role of curiosity, pain, and timing in message effectiveness
- What makes a product demo-worthy based on novelty alone
- Real-world examples of campaigns that broke the rules and won
- The blurred line between "product-market fit" and compelling messaging
- When list-building and timing matter more than copy itself This teardown shows that even hard rules in cold outreach have exceptions if your offer hits the right nerve.
Jack and Jeremy unpack what it takes to earn a "yes" at first touch and how to craft messages people actually want to reply to.

About this episode (#406):
In this episode, Jack and Jeremy revisit the question: should AI be trusted to write and send first-line personalization in cold outreach? It’s late Q2 2025, and AI tools are smarter than ever. But are they smart enough to handle something as nuanced (and reputation-sensitive) as email intros without human review? The guys go deep on how far the tech has come, what’s still risky, and where it might actually make sense in your workflow.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why letting AI send unchecked intro lines is still a risky move
- How the quality of personalization has improved and where it still breaks
- Why buyer awareness of AI is making personalization harder, not easier
- The evolving role of the first line (and why the PS line might be safer)
- What makes a smart AI prompt and how to reduce hallucination risk
- Testing AI-generated personalization vs. handcrafted lines
- When AI might make sense for high-volume outbound vs. niche campaigns
This episode is a no-fluff look at what AI can and can’t do for outbound personalization in 2025. Jack and Jeremy break down the tradeoffs, the risks, and where smart filters and prompts can actually help without wrecking your reply rates.

About this episode (#405):
In this episode, Jack and Jeremy run a two-part teardown of real cold outreach messages.
They start by analyzing a LinkedIn message that pitches AI agents for lead generation, then break down a clever follow-up email from a SaaS tool the recipient had signed up for months earlier. You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and how to write outreach that actually gets replies, whether your audience is ice cold or just cooling off.
Key topics discussed in this episode:
- Why vague or generic subject lines instantly signal cold outreach - The dangers of pitching without credibility, proof, or a clear ask
- How to use curiosity properly in cold messages (and when it backfires) Why offering value or reciprocity makes outreach more effective
- A teardown of a SaaS follow-up email that used a “you never used your free credits” angle
- The difference between cold, warm, and “lukewarm” outreach (and why lukewarm might be your best audience)
- How small, specific asks can increase reply rates
This episode is a masterclass in cold outreach psychology, whether your leads are brand new or just haven’t heard from you in a while.

About this episode (#404):
In this episode, Jeremy and Jack dive into a smarter way to structure follow-up emails in cold outreach. Instead of repeating the same call-to-action (CTA) or simply lowering commitment levels, they introduce a sales-letter-inspired approach using upsells and downsells to increase engagement and conversions over time.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Why sending the same CTA in follow-ups is a missed opportunity
- Introducing a follow-up “ladder” with escalating and descending offers
- The psychology behind “foot in the door” vs. “door in the face” techniques
- Using varied offers (video, guest post, webinar, trial) to maintain attention and add value
- Why the third ask might get a “yes” even if the first two didn’t
- How to keep leads in your universe (e.g. newsletter, YouTube) even if they’re not ready to buy
- The importance of investing thought into offers, not just copy, during outreach planning
This episode is a goldmine for anyone running outbound campaigns and tired of stale follow-ups. Rethink your offers, make your asks more strategic, and turn “no response” into lasting brand engagement.

In this episode, Jack and Jeremy break down an especially long and highly personalized cold email that made its way through the noise—though not without some controversy. They explore what worked, what went too far, and how AI-driven outreach can either charm or alarm your prospects.
Key topics discussed:
- The use of deeply personal references in cold emails—and where it crosses the line. - Why referencing hobbies, spouses, and old clients might not earn you points. - The difference between relevance and overpersonalization in outreach. - How AI-generated emails reveal themselves with subtle formatting cues. - Alternative, clearer messaging strategies that could've made the same email more effective. - The importance of a focused CTA and the power of a “trial as a gift” offer. - Predictions for the future of first-line personalization and AI’s evolving role in cold outreach.
Less is often more when it comes to personalization. A simple, relevant message that's respectful of boundaries often beats a complex AI-generated pitch loaded with unnecessary personal trivia.

Broken link in your email or linked to the wrong website?
-
Spelling mistake in the name of the person or in the name of the company?

Jack:

50k price point with 200 companies in your market, or a 9/mo with 20,000 in your market?
-
Intent data for 500 dream clients or mutual connection to 25 ideal prospects?

10% open rates, write what you want, or 80% open rates but AI writes your messages?
-
10% reply rate, or 100% reply rate but 95% are ANGRY responses?

Today we step into the future. We’re talking about robots that write personalized messages - the new attention worthy technology for the cold email users.

Jack found some old cold email from 1902 selling natural gas products to businesses, and we've had a blast at tearing it down.
There are so many solid elements of cold email in that letter, that we've thought it's definitely worth taking a second look in 2020. You will learn how it could be easily adapted from a direct sales letter to today’s cold email format.
Here it is and watch the video to the end to find out what we think about it:
"How much are you paying per cubic foot of your gas? (was the basis of our letters). If we can show you how to cut the cost by a fourth, are you interested enough to prove it? The Blank Gas Company of Cincinnati has cut its costs by more than that, and here are the figures as given in a letter from their Superintendent. (here we quoted exact figures and costs). The Bank Company of Indianapolis and (here we mentioned four or five other companies well and favorably known to the trade) have had similar experiences. We’ll be glad to send you the exact figures from each if you will take the time to read them.
But better than any figures from other plants is this chance to write new figures of your own in your plant. Send the enclosed card, without money. On receipt of it, we will ship you a carload of Powellton screened gas coal, our regular standard quality.
Test it. Try it any way you wish. At the end of your tests, figure how much gas you get per pound of coal, and what that gas cost you! If you don’t find that the Powellton Coal has saved you at least 25% on your cost, then that carload we send you won’t cos you one cent. But if you do see where you can save from 25 to 33% of the cost of your gas, then you re to give us your contract for all the gas coal you use for the next year, at a price of $1.25 per ton f.o.b. Powellton, W.Va. Remember, no saving-no cost. But if we save you 25%, we get your contract. Is it a go?"

Today we talk about the cases when it doesn’t make sense for your company to do outbound marketing. We have seen a pattern where certain brands are more successful in outbound than others, so we are revisiting the topic that we’ve discussed a couple of years ago.
Jack’s Outbound Cons:
- Your product has a very long buying cycle
- It’s a “bleeding neck” problem
- You have a poor close rate
- You have offline audience on your radar
- You have week filters
Jeremy’s Outbound Cons:
- The price is too low
- The audience is not reachable by email
- Your audience is B2C
- You are in the part of the world where cold outreach is not legal
- You don’t have resources or you are not committed to the full sales cycle
However, keep in mind that if there is a will there's a way. We described some situations where cold email is not the best option unless you do something more creative with it. So, give it your best and happy cold emailing!

Imagine you have a product loved by your users but those users have zero purchasing power.
Who should you approach for your cold email campaign? Should you reach out to the CFO/CTO/CEO, who has purchasing power or to the developer/designer/support person, who uses the product?
There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to choosing the prospect you are going after, so stay tuned as we answer today’s listener question. Enjoy!
HERE’S WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE: * How to choose the right person to contact depending on the product price * Where to start from * Changing the product benefit depending on the target contact person * What if you have to touch multiple people in the company * Product placement strategy
So, when you are choosing who to approach in the company, consider who’s really benefiting, be sure to use unique selling points for different groups of contacts, and remember that you can really benefit if you get referrals from other decision makers to improve your chances of getting a “YES” from someone who can sign off on the sale.

In this episode our guest is Greg Rosner, Founder and CEO of PitchKitchen, a sales enablement agency.
The team at PitchKitchen fixes bad sales messaging, presentations and websites that make their solution the hero of the story, instead of their customer. As Greg says, nobody wants a presentation, they just want their problem solved, but if you make your pitch centered around the solution only, they are never going to buy from you.
Greg discovers for us the 12 conversations in a sales process, the key questions you should be asking your customer, shares useful resources and lots of actionable tips about building a sales relationship with your prospect. Enjoy!
What We Cover In This Episode: * What are the most common mistakes that sales people make in their presentations? * The 12 essential conversations a sales person is having with customers * What “mindset” should we have when we approach demo meetings? * What questions should we be asking during a demo? * What’s the hardest thing to teach people when it comes to giving a great demo? * Is it an art or a science to come up with a repeatable sales script? * How to personalize the pitch for each lead * Why sales pitch for SaaS is no longer different than for other industries * How to onboard a team member to do demos well * What slides we should delete right now * What’s more important – text or images? * Slides as conversations and not documents * Sales people as guides and not heroes
Like a cold email, a pitch deck should start a conversation and create a relationship with your customers. It’s about people to people conversations, rather than showcasing your product or a service. And to learn more about nailing your sales demo, check out Greg’s recommended resources below.
