I Stopped Sending Looms. Replies Went Up.
Alright, I want to break down a strategy that used to work insanely well, stopped working for most people, and is now quietly working again if you apply it the right way. You’ll probably recognize this. A few years ago, Loom videos crushed. You’d send a cold email like: “Hey, mind if I record you a quick Loom?” They’d say yes. You’d spend 10 minutes recording a custom video. Send it over. Replies would spike. Why did it work? It worked because it felt 1-to-1. The prospect believed you sat down, thought about them, and made something specifically for their business. That’s the psychology. Now here’s the problem: Doing this at scale is brutal. Recording 10 minutes per prospect doesn’t scale past a handful of leads a day. So people abandoned it. Big mistake. The strategy didn’t stop working. The format did. Instead of sending a Loom, you switch the deliverable. Here’s what works now: You ask permission to do research, not a video. Something like: “Would it be useful if I put together a quick breakdown of your company vs competitors? I can send it over in 24 hours.” That’s it. What happens in their head: – “They’re going to spend time on me” And that’s the win. Now the real unlock: You don’t actually need to do this manually. With automation, you can generate: – mini audits – competitor snapshots – opportunity breakdowns – teardown-style reports All personalized, fast and scalable. From the prospect’s perspective, it feels just as personal as the old Loom videos. From your side, you’re not burning 10 minutes per lead. This is what I call a reverse lead magnet. Instead of giving away a generic PDF to everyone, you offer something that appears custom first, then deliver it at scale. If you want to see exactly how I set it up… Comment “Reverse” and I’ll break it down.

This is in the mastermind, yes?
Seeking Influencer emails - any ideas?
I want to reach out to influencers. I've used Apollo/Apify but only got around 5k and I'm not sure how accurate the list is. I now there are platforms you can search them on, but most are $100-$200 a month and limit you to a few hundred a month, etc.. Does anyone have a source for them in bulk, or know of one?

@Grant Charge I'm looking at https://lfbbd.com/ - it may be the most cost-effective route for influencers.

@Gwen Stefani I looked at this, actually signed up, but it's not good for this and I'll be cancelling. Each search only returns 100-300 or so max, and it's really difficult to only find influencers because of the way you search there. (you go by keywords) It gets me some influencers/creators, but also a large percentage of unrelated emails as well, so poor for cold email. I got the 50,000 a month package, and unless I sit here all day doing all kinds of searches finding 200 at a time knowing 25% are unrelated, I'll never get my $ out of it. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)
Perplexity Comet Browser
Thought AI browsers were just marketing hype... until I saw Perplexity Comet reading my emails and scheduling meetings automatically. I'm not an advocate for the tool - still just testing :) While Google sticks to traditional Chrome development, Perplexity (who offered $34.5B for it!) is already testing the future AI assistant built into every tab. The real game-changer isn't the tech - it's cutting the time between question and action. Instead of: 📧 Read report → copy link → open Gmail → write email → paste link → switch to calendar → find time slot → back to report You get: 🎯 Read report → say "send this to Johnson with budget notes and schedule meeting next week" → done Benefits I'm testing: - Workflow automation: AI reads page content and instantly drafts emails, books Google Calendar meetings, and compares offers. If Google Workspace integration works well, this could be huge. - Faster decisions: Access to wide info sources with auto-summarization. Instead of juggling 10 tabs, you get real-time synthesis + sources ready. Reality check: Comet isn't sci-fi - it's live for Max subscribers ($200/month) and testers today. As a tester with Gmail/calendar access, I see the potential for transforming daily business processes. But will it actually deliver on efficiency promises? I'll try to tell in 2-3 weeks' time.

I'm testing it but haven't tried much.

I feel it's a combination of copy and offer. My open rate is 50%, so can't complain there, but not getting responses or sales.
