HOW THIS WORKS
Cold outreach is reaching people who don't know you yet to start a business conversation. The reason most people fail: volume and targeting. You need to reach enough of the right people consistently — not 30, not 100. A real campaign starts with 2,000 verified contacts.
Here's the math:
- 2,000 emails × 40% open rate = 800 opens
- 800 opens × 3% reply rate = 24 replies
- 24 replies × 50% meeting rate = 12 meetings
