Spent 2 months sending terrible cold emails.
Here's what I learned:
Mistake #1: Sending to everyone
→ Fix: Only target people. People who are interested in your offer(hiring, funding, growth).
Mistake #2: Generic personalization
→ Fix: AI can personalize at scale if you give it the right prompts
Mistake #3: Following up with everyone
→ Fix: Only follow up with people who replied (saves 70% of time).
Mistake #4: Measuring volume over quality
→ Fix: 50 perfect-fit emails > 500 spray-and-pray
Mistake #5: Doing it all manually
→ Fix: Automate the busy work, only show up for interested leads.
After fixing these: 0 meetings/month → 10+ Interested meetings/month.
🌟Now I'm helping a few B2B founders implement the same system.
Which mistake are you making right now? (I was guilty of all 5)
