Hey 7 Fig Community! 👋 This took me 2 hours to put together. If you're looking for a proven way to get clients AT SCALE and actually make money for your agency, then this is for you. I run an agency that basically made no money because I had a hard time finding new clients. I tried cold email starting in November and it quickly become one of our most profitable acquisition channels. I knew NOTHING about cold outreach when I started. I learned A LOT along the way (including plenty of expensive mistakes), so here’s everything I wish I had known from day one. If you don't know what cold email marketing is, it's when you send out thousands of emails to potential leads you haven't spoken to before. The goal is for them to book a consult with you where you'll then close on a deal. If you do it badly, it will look like spam and nobody will respond. Do it where you target relevant people ready to buy and offer a lot of VALUE, and you will generate sales. Part 1: Technical Setup Domain Strategy - Buy dedicated domains just for email campaigns — never ever use your main company domain. - Set up DNS records immediately: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. - Use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for better deliverability (roughly $4–6 per account per month). Email Account Setup - Create 1–4 email accounts per domain. - Start slow: 10 emails per account per day, then increase volume by ~10% each day. - Max once warmed up: ~25 emails per account per day. - Example: 4 domains × 3 accounts × 25 emails = 300 emails/day to begin with. IMPORTANT: Always warm up accounts for at least 14 days before ramping up. Extra tips that help a lot: - Add real profile photos and complete the accounts. - Older domains tend to perform better when you can get them. - Set up a custom tracking domain for accurate open/click data. Choosing Your Sending Platform You can do it manually with the technical setup above but it's way easier to buy an email account that's already configured and ready to go. I ran high-volume campaigns using Instantly.ai because it has good deliverability, analytics, and tons of guides on it since it's used by many agencies to get clients. It’s not perfect but probably one of the best for cold email right now. But honestly, your lead list and outreach message matter more.

Claude Code is the most powerful marketing tool EVER. This is how you use it, even if you aren't technical. This Wednesday at 4 pm PST Im doing a Claude Code Marketing Workshop and I wanted to see if you wanted to join? This is a live, click-by-click workshop that shows non-technical entrepreneurs and business owners how to use Claude Code to build landing pages, funnels, lead magnets, email campaigns, content, and client-getting marketing assets without hiring copywriters, designers, developers, or learning how to code. You can grab your seat right now for just $27. That’s less than a DoorDash order… and I’m going to personally walk you through the exact setup I use to build and deploy high-converting marketing assets with AI. If you want in, just drop “CLAUDE” below and I’ll send you the workshop link. Inside, you’ll discover: ✅ Why Claude Code is not just for developers — and why marketers who learn this now will have a massive advantage over everyone still using ChatGPT or regular Claude like it’s still 2023. ✅The exact Claude Code workflow I use to build landing pages, funnels, lead magnets, email sequences, content systems, and client-getting campaigns in a fraction of the time it used to take. ✅How to teach Claude your voice, offer, audience, frameworks, and design style so it stops spitting out generic AI slop and starts creating assets that actually sound and look like you. ✅ How to build a “marketing project brain” inside Claude Code so every asset you create gets sharper, more consistent, and more aligned with your business over time. ✅ The click-by-click setup for using Claude Code even if you’ve never written a line of code and have no clue where to start. ✅How to use Claude Code to create high-converting landing pages in under 30 minutes, without staring at a blank page or fighting with a page builder for hours. ✅ How to turn one offer into an entire marketing system: page copy, email follow-up, lead magnet, content angles, campaign assets, and launch material.

Question for coaches/consultants here: How do you currently handle people who DM you asking for free advice or “quick questions”? Do you usually: - answer for free - ignore most of them - send a booking link - move them to a paid call - use a community/course instead I’m trying to understand whether paid 1:1 access through one simple link is actually useful for coaches, or whether most coaches already solve this with Calendly, Stripe, Skool, Kajabi, etc. Would love honest feedback from people who already coach, consult, or sell advice.
