Where do you find clients if you’re not using cold email to find them? Do you use LinkedIn or Upwork or other social media channels?

@Diran George Diran, that’s really good to know. Thank you. What I’ll do is when I find an account that’s gives us all the signals. I’ll start following the CIO for those companies and try to see what he’s interested in.

@Jay Feldman Hey Jay, here's a strategic account in my neighborhood, Healthplan of San Mateo. Here's a percise message. It's pretty vanilla but I really like what your leaning into with Percision gets Tuest! Subject: Microsoft Access environments and HIPAA audit exposure Hi Eben, I’ve worked with several health plans that still run meaningful parts of their operations on Microsoft Access databases. The pattern is consistent: the applications often sit outside centralized access controls and lack reliable audit trails. Under the HIPAA Security Rule, that creates two specific gaps that tend to surface only when OCR or an auditor requests evidence — the absence of independent change history, and uncontrolled copies of .accdb files that leave the organization’s enforceable controls. If this is still relevant to any of the environments at HPSM, I’m happy to share what we’re seeing across similar plans. No pitch — just a short conversation if useful. Best regards, Sasha Froyland Title:?? Risk Mitigation Specialist??
Done for you Mailboxes
Jay is done for you mailboxes by Jay are $3.50 per month and I think Instantly’s are $10 a month. Has anybody compare the results of the two? I would expect them to both perform the same, but the cost of Jay’s to be much less.

@Jay Feldman Might even consider using our snitcher account as kind of a pseudo real time dashboard Who’s Visiting. What I mean is watch snitcher dashboard for recent visits and that’ll show you what they looked at and what account it is then pop over to instantly and see what they’ve interacted with with respect to the email marketing. What we’re selling customers, legacy support for IT , they are often very reluctant to talk about they in fact our almost ashamed to be in the situation they’re in so calling them delicately for a warm introduction seems fitting. Besides getting the phone number from the website and trying to call in to get the CIO, any thoughts here? My call script would be something like hello. My name is Sasha. Your company has showed interest in our services. We are your Microsoft assigned service provider and wanted to book a meeting with John Doe to let him know we’ve made progress on solving other Healthcare providers in California with their legacy IT system systems. I wonder if actually sending US mail is appropriate? I’m only half joking here.

@Adan Valdez Adan. Thank you. That’s exactly where I was headed and wanted to to be sure. Your results is exactly what I needed to. Let me know that my plan is solid. Thank you.
I built a cold email system inside Claude Code
I haven't logged into Instantly in weeks. And my campaigns are still running. Domains. Mailboxes. Lead scraping. Verification. A/B testing. Deployment. Once it was set up, I stopped logging into Instantly. Stopped logging into Apollo. Stopped logging into Clay. Here's the actual flow. Step one is infrastructure. You give Claude Code two API keys: Instantly and Inbox Insiders. From there it buys your domains, configures DNS, spins up the mailboxes, loads them into your sequencer, and kicks off warmup correctly. Four weeks later, you're ready to send. Works with other sequencers too. If you're on Smartlead, just swap the API docs in the skill file. Step two is leads. Point it at Consulti or Apify with your ICP filters: job titles, industries, company size, geography. It scrapes, verifies on the way in, flags dupes, and pushes everything to Turso or Supabase. No more accidentally pulling the same 500 people you emailed three months ago. Step three is strategy and copy. Feed it the transcript of your offer or client strategy call. It asks what I'd ask: CTA, ICP, reverse lead magnet or direct, standalone or wedge. Strategy gets worked. Emails get written. A/B variants get generated. Step four is deployment. The campaign goes into Instantly, leads get loaded, and tests start running. Step five is what creates compounding. Every reply gets logged. Future sessions analyze patterns, refine ICP filters, and train a reply bot on your own data. I made the Cold Email Quickstart Wizard Skill free. It maps the entire build in the right order, from infrastructure and lead sourcing through copy, testing, and deployment. It shows you what each phase requires and where the specialist skills plug in. It's the orchestration layer, not the complete specialist toolkit. Grab it here

Pulled back the hood on the cold-email-quickstart package to evaluate the architecture, dependencies, and execution logic. Here is the technical breakdown: Key Findings - Skeletal Orchestration: The download serves strictly as a thin prompt router and local directory/state manager via .metadata.json. It contains no native execution logic to actually process leads or deploy campaigns. - Hard Dependency Gate: Step 0 relies on 8 proprietary sub-skills (consulti-scrape, list-optimize, cold-email-campaign-deploy, etc.). Without these modules, local shell calls throw missing file errors unless you write custom replacement scripts or join the $1,497 program. - Missing Production Controls: As an execution engine, a local bash wrapper lacks essential production controls—such as schema validation, API rate-limiting, automatic retry logic, and real-time webhook handling. - Vendor Stack Lock-In: The routing is structured specifically to channel data through a monetized tool stack (Consulti.ai, Email Bison, and affiliate integrations) rather than open, direct API connections. Takeaway & Execution Alternative The structural blueprint itself—the 9-phase sequence (Strategy \rightarrow Tracking DB \rightarrow Scraping \rightarrow Pre-verification AI qualification \rightarrow Verification \rightarrow Perplexity research \rightarrow Copy/Spintax \rightarrow Deployment)—is well-organized and logically sound. However, rather than maintaining local shell scripts, you will achieve far better scale, reliability, and data control by applying this exact 9-phase sequence directly inside production automation platforms (like Clay, Make, or GoHighLevel) or wiring your own custom Claude API endpoints to handle campaign state and enrichment.
870 prospects, 24 opportunities, $120K potential pipeline.
Just finished reviewing one of our recent cold email campaigns. 870 prospects → 24 opportunities → $120K potential pipeline. What I like about this campaign is that we didn’t rely on sending a crazy amount of emails. We focused on the basics: - Good targeting - Clean lead data - Proper inbox setup - Deliverability - Relevant copy - Follow-ups - Constant optimization The biggest mistake I see is people trying to scale before they know what’s working. If the foundation is weak, adding more volume won’t fix it. Get the setup right. Get the targeting right. Get the messaging right. Then scale. There are no conversions recorded yet, so the $120K is potential pipeline, not revenue. Still, 24 opportunities from 870 prospects gives us a strong base to work with. Now the job is simple: keep optimizing and turn those opportunities into customers.

@Jay Feldman Good question. I too would like to hear the answer.
Thinking Of Doing Highly Personalized Cold Email
Hello What Is the best way Do extensive research on a brand and explains what they are doing wrong with text and screenshot and sending the email Or Record a loom video going through their ad account and competitors ( Shy to record a loom video and so demotivated to send the text ( no one will gonna read and more than 1 screenshot will be end in spam 😓)

@Jay Feldman that is a very spot on reply. Jay, do you personally write all of your responses on this platform? Nice.
