The quality of your outreach is decided before you write a single line. If the problem isn’t clear, personal, and urgent… the message won’t resonate. The best outreach is built on a pain the prospect is **already admitting internally.** Here’s how to find it 👇 1) Look for money leaks Where is revenue quietly slipping away? - Missed calls - Unconverted leads - Low LTV - High churn If you can tie your angle directly to lost money, you already have a strong hook. Money pain = attention. 2) Look for operational bottlenecks What breaks when they try to grow? - Hiring bottlenecks - Lead follow-up delays - Sales capacity limits - Fulfillment issues If growth is blocked, leadership feels it every single day. 3) Check urgency Ask yourself: > If they ignore this for 90 days… what happens? If the answer is “not much” → weak angle If the answer is “we lose revenue or slow growth” → strong angle Urgency makes people reply. 4) Steal their language Don’t invent wording. Go where they’re already talking: - Reviews - Reddit threads - Interviews - Job descriptions - LinkedIn posts Use their exact phrasing in your email. That’s what makes it feel specific and real. The strongest pain points always have 3 things: ✔ Clear financial consequence ✔ Clear urgency ✔ Clear ownership (someone is responsible for fixing it) If you can’t tie your angle to lost money or stalled growth, it’s probably weak. Clarity of problem → clarity of message → higher replies. Most people skip the first step.
