If your cold emails are getting ignored, you're making one (or both) of these mistakes: they’re too long or too generic.

In this video from AIsisted | AI Powered Sales & Lead Generation, the host reveals a proven formula for writing short, hyper-targeted cold emails that double response rates.

Most decision-makers skim emails in under 10 seconds, so walls of text get ignored. The solution? Follow the Glance Rule: At a glance, prospects should know what you offer, the specific value, and whether it’s worth responding to.

The second mistake? Not segmenting your list properly. Generic emails fail, but hyper-segmentation ensures every message feels personally written—without actually being customized one-by-one.

Key Takeaways:

• 🔐 Short emails = more replies: Response rates drop by 50% when emails exceed five sentences—keep it concise and to the point (1:25).

• 💰 Generic emails fail, hyper-segmentation wins: Target by industry, role, and pain points to make messages feel tailored—even at scale (4:46).

• 📧 Trigger-based outreach boosts relevance: Emails tied to company events, funding rounds, or hiring changes feel perfectly timed, increasing response rates (14:47).

• 🚀 Relevance beats personalization: It’s not about using someone’s college name or city—it’s about showing you understand their exact problem, right now (19:40).

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you don’t have to choose between success and freedom—you can have both.

When I sold my first tech startup in 2019, I knew I wanted two things: to build another business and to see the world. The answer? Cold email.

In this episode of Entrepreneurs on Fire, I sat down with John Lee Dumas to talk about how cold outreach helped me land major clients like Apple and Amazon, why most cold emails fail, and how I built a thriving lead generation business—all while traveling full-time.

Whether you're an entrepreneur looking for more leads or someone who dreams of running a business from anywhere, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• 🔐 Cold email changed my life: 60% of my clients come from cold email alone—it’s the fastest way to grow a business (5:03).

• 💰 Most cold emails fail because they’re bad: Decision-makers get 121 emails a day, ignoring 111—so standing out is everything (6:07).

• 📧 Cold email is harder than before, but still worth it: Avoiding spam filters now requires advanced setup and AI-powered personalization (7:05).

• 🚀 Success & freedom aren’t mutually exclusive: I run a growing business while hopping between Italy, Portugal, and beyond—and so can you (12:23).
