Ever feel like email “stopped working,” but the truth is you’re just showing up at the wrong moment? This edition argues that blasts fail when they ignore buyer readiness and the reality of a buying committee, while timely, account-based nurture stays useful and welcome.

📧 Cold Email Tip of the Day

Use Light Humor to Lower Defenses

What This Means: Most cold emails sound stiff and robotic. Light humor adds a human touch that shows you don’t take yourself too seriously, without turning the email into a stand-up routine.

Why It Works: Humor can act as a pattern interrupt and signal, “There’s a real person here.” When done well, it makes you more memorable and easier to talk to. The key is to keep it self-aware and low-risk, never at the prospect’s expense.

How To Use It This Week: Try a small line like, “Promising no 47-slide deck if we chat,” or “If this is way off, I’ll retire my career in guessing.” Use it once, not in every sentence. If a persona or industry is very formal, keep the humor extra subtle, or skip it entirely.

B2B Email Isn’t Dead, Your Timing Is 📬

Published: December 22, 2025

B2B email still works, but only when it matches buyer intent and timing. The piece argues that blasts fail because they ignore context, readiness, and the buying committee.

Upside: Treat email as account nurture, not list volume, and you can stay useful. For example, trigger a short insight note after a target account engages with a relevant asset. Follow with role-based content for each stakeholder, not a one-size pitch.

Impact: Inbox fatigue punishes noise, so alignment with sales and content matters more. Brands that respect readiness build trust, and they move deals faster. The channel is not dying; sloppy strategy is.

Cold Email Gets a Reality Check 🎯

Published: January 14, 2025

Cold email succeeds when my goals are clear, and my targeting is sharp. On Growth Now Movement, I share how I went from a business exit to building an Email Outreach Company, and I break down a few of the pivots along the way, including acquiring and growing a newsletter business.

Upside: I treat outreach like a goal, not a resolution, then I measure it weekly. I start with one buyer role, write one crisp opener, and send ten focused emails. If the replies show a mismatch, I adjust the message fast.

Impact: Cold email is not dead, but sloppy blasts get ignored. My approach ties outreach to adaptability, so you can iterate without burning trust. And my digital nomad discipline is a reminder that systems beat hustle every time.

How To Tank Your Holiday Emails in One Easy Lesson 🎄

Published: December 22, 2025

A tongue-in-cheek holiday marketing post leans on “terrible tips” to spotlight factual email mistakes. It reframes familiar missteps, like blasting everyone and ignoring relevance. The lesson lands because most damage is avoidable.

Upside: Use the irony as a preflight check before your next seasonal send -- segment by recent behavior, then cap frequency for anyone who has not engaged. For example, send a gift guide to clickers, and one reminder to everyone else.

Impact: Holiday inboxes punish lazy volume and reward relevance. Teams that plan early, test, and respect attention avoid delivery hits. That restraint also sets you up for Q1, when every lead costs more.
