Hey friends—Raghav here. If you’re a SaaS founder, agency owner, or just trying to stand out in a crowded space without burning time or ad dollars… This post might save you a ton of time—and frustration. 🧠 What I’m Building (And Why I’m Fired Up) I’ve built a LinkedIn outreach platform that I am working with @ianryankirk on refining the offer messaging. It’s not just software. It’s a scalable outbound engine, built for people who want calls booked, not just tools. But here’s where I got stuck… 🤯 What the Clarity Call with Ian Kirk Unlocked 1️⃣ The “Kevin O’Leary Elevator” Test Ian hit me with the classic challenge: “If you had 30 seconds with a shark, could you make him care?” Turns out, my pitch had too many moving parts. Ian helped me cut the fluff, center the core value, and reframe the software as a solution—not just a stack of features. 2️⃣ A Guarantee Isn’t a Differentiator Anymore Everyone offers one. The real edge? - Scale beyond LinkedIn’s limits - Run everything from one dashboard - Let agencies book calls without building a team from scratch Now that gets people leaning in. 3️⃣ Target the Buyers Who Already Spend We mapped my ICP in 60 seconds flat: → People already paying for Sales Navigator→ Power users frustrated with limits→ Agencies who want outreach at scale—without risking bans or burning hours 4️⃣ Action Steps That Don’t Just “Feel Productive” They Are ✅ Post the new offer version in the community + on LinkedIn ✅ Watch the Outreach & Cold Email masterclasses ✅ Show up to the next group call—get feedback, refine message ✅ Don’t complicate it. Talk in outcomes, not software-speak 🙌 Why I’m Sharing This Because most of us overthink the offer and underplay the result. I woke up at 4am for this call—and it gave me more clarity in 45 minutes than I’ve had in weeks of brainstorming. If you’re stuck on: - Pitching too many features - Talking to the wrong audience - Or wondering how to stand out in SaaS…

(Steal This Cold Message That Actually Got a Reply) 95% of DMs being sent right now? 💩 They read like a Fiverr VA copy-pasted it from a 2021 YouTube tutorial. You know the ones… ❌ “Hey [First Name], I help busy founders scale to 6-figures using my proven 3-step system…” ❌ “Quick question for you... 👀” ❌ “I saw your profile and thought we might be a great fit!” If you’ve ever sent one of those, this is your intervention. Because you’re not just being ignored—you’re being categorized. 🧠 As forgettable. 🗑️ As background noise. 📉 As someone not worth replying to. 🧠 How I Flipped It, just like @Jay Feldman teaches. Instead of ignoring a guy who’d been DM'ing me like an amnesiac AI… And this guy is a fairly well established influencer with a sizable IG YT & Skool Community. I sent this: Not gonna lie --> you’ve hit me with more “Hey Ian”s & "How's Biz?" than an MLM recruiter w/ amnesia 😂 Figured I’d wait to reply until I had something worth showing. In the last 3 months 56 new customers. $72,408 in revenue. 9 churned. {SCREENSHOT PROOF} All from a similar offer and audience size to yours. Not saying you're leaving money on the table... But if you are, your weak ass DM game is probably why. ✌️☮️ Guess what happens next? 👀 He replied instantly. Then booked a call. 🧨 Why It Worked ✅ Pattern interrupt – Casual. Funny. Not trying to sell. ✅ Leads with proof – No bait. Just data. ✅ Curiosity over pitch – Hints at the gap without bragging. ✅ Reverses the dynamic – He chased me. 💥 Want to Stop Getting Ghosted? Here’s the formula: Open with a jab – playful, honest, bold Drop results – numbers > adjectives Create curiosity – no neediness, just a window Position yourself as the shortcut – without pitching Shut up and let them ask Comment “SLAP” and get the DM Masterclass that’s booked me calls with people way outside my “lane.” No more spam. No more guessing. No more sounding like someone’s virtual assistant. 🧠 You’re either pattern-interrupting…

If you’re an AI automation or cold email geek trying to break out of the Upwork grind-->or just tired of sending campaigns and hoping for the best-->this post is for you. 🚀 Where I Started I’m build AI-powered outbound systems for B2B SaaS and tech companies. But up till now, my only clients came through Upwork, and my first cold email campaign (1,300 sent!) got me… crickets. Reply rate? Under 1%. Positive leads? Zero. I realized I was running my business on hope, not a system. 💡 What My Clarity Call with Ian Unlocked 1. Differentiate or Disappear Ian challenged me with the “Kevin O’Leary elevator test.” If you can’t explain what makes you different from every other automation specialist on Fiverr/Upwork, you’ll get ignored. My new focus: - Real experience in the trenches (not just theory) - A clear promise, plan, and proof-->so I’m not just another “me too” offer 2. Stop Automating What Isn’t Working I was ready to scale up with automations and tools, but Ian showed me why you have to test your offer and messaging manually first. If you’re not getting replies, it’s not a volume problem-->it’s a message problem. 3. Lead With Value-->Reciprocity Wins Instead of pitching or asking for a call, I’m now sending a simple value-driven first message (e.g., “Here’s a free AI agent template-->can you tell me if it’s on point?”). When people reply, I can ask about their real pain points and start a conversation-->not a pitch fest. 4. Track, Test, and Tweak Don’t just hope for results. - 100 DMs = ~10 replies - 10 replies = 1 booked call (if your copy is right)If you’re not hitting those numbers, fix the copy or targeting before you scale. 5. Community Is a Shortcut Ian pointed me to masterclasses, copy review threads, and Friday coaching calls inside the group. Why guess alone when you can get real feedback, faster? 🛠️ My Next Steps - Practice my new offer and outreach copy manually (not just with automation) - Post my draft emails in the community for feedback from real copy pros - Engage more on LinkedIn (and groups where my ideal clients hang out) - Show up to Friday calls with my biggest questions
