Hey there,
What happens when cold email has to grow up to survive stricter filters and smarter inboxes? This edition frames success as a pile of small lifts, clean infrastructure, and copy that reads like an actual note, not a pitch blast.
Take a moment to see why discipline is now part of the offer.

📧 Cold Email Tip of the Day
Make Your “You vs. We” Ratio Prospect-Heavy
What This Means: Cold emails often read like company bios: “We do this, we believe that, we built…” Making the “you vs. we” ratio prospect-heavy means using “you,” “your team,” and “your pipeline” more than “we” and “our product.”
Why It Works: Language shapes focus. When the email talks about them, they lean in because the story is about their world. When it talks about you, it feels like a press release. A simple pronoun shift can make the same message feel dramatically more relevant.
How To Use It This Week: Take one of your core templates and count the instances of “we” and “you.” Rewrite sentences so the balance favors “you.” For example, “We help teams book more demos” becomes “Your reps book more demos from the same volume you’re already sending.”

Stop Writing Ads, Start Writing Notes ✉️
Published: January 05, 2026
Email still works, but readers tune out lifeless blasts. Human tone and genuine intent beat buzzwords and brand manuals. Treat your list like people who invited you in.
Upside: Rewrite one campaign as a personal note to one customer type. Open with a small mistake you learned from, then share one helpful tip. Close with one straightforward question, not a menu of links.
Impact: Social reach can vanish overnight, but inbox access is earned and fragile. Send fewer emails, with better timing, and you build trust that compounds. Once trust is established, automation supports the relationship rather than replacing it.
Cold Outreach Gets A Human Upgrade ✉️
Published: February 6, 2025
Most cold outreach fails because people fear it and overthink it. I see that anxiety turns into noisy, awkward messaging that pushes the right people away. The better approach is more straightforward, more direct, and more respectful.
Upside: I start with a small daily habit and focus on steady reps. I keep each note tight, name one problem, and ask one straightforward question. For example: Are you open to a quick chat about growth?
Impact: When outreach feels personal, it earns attention faster. For me, that trust is tied to building a business that supports travel and giving back. The real advantage is a repeatable system that stays sustainable.
Cold Email Learns To Behave 📬
Published: January 14, 2025
Cold email still works, but the rules have changed fast. I’ve seen results shift to dozens of small lifts, not one magic trick. With stricter inbox filtering and the need for real sending infrastructure, you either adapt or you disappear.
Upside: I treat outreach as a clean introduction, not a pitch blast. I start with a tight ICP, then test a copy that reads like an actual note a person would send. If deliverability slips, I slow the sends per inbox and scale the right way, with more inboxes, not more spam.
Impact: The bar is higher, and lazy outreach gets buried. The people winning build systems, protect their schedule, and keep the message human. When you stay disciplined, email becomes a reliable top-of-funnel again.

The higher the bar gets, the more lazy volume gets buried. Teams that protect deliverability, test thoughtfully, and scale by adding more inboxes rather than more spam keep email working as a reliable top-of-funnel.
Good behavior is now a strategy.
Until next time, happy emailing!
