Only 1 in 20 cold emails gets a reply.

My colleague Ziemek Bućko did a fantastic job analyzing 31 million emails and pulling this report together. I went through the findings and pulled the 14 stats that actually move the needle.

Some of these surprised me:
→ Turning off open tracking increases reply rates by 68% 
→ Emailing 21–50 people outperforms blasting 500+ by 158% 
→ 3 follow-ups double replies. 4+ kills them. 
→ LinkedIn is now the preferred channel for 50.5% of decision makers

Cold email isn't dead. Lazy cold email is.

If someone told me you could win $1,000 by writing one email, I'd have laughed.

Which means most people reading this won't bother entering.

Less competition for you.

Messaging Madness 2026: entries close tomorrow, March 10. 

Write one outreach email based on a real scenario. It goes into a public bracket, head-to-head voting rounds, until one winner takes $1,000.

I'm judging one of the 4 scenarios myself.

10 minutes to write. $1,000 to win.

Full details + entry form below

Messaging Madness 2026

Can you write an email worth $1,000? Let’s find out.

Messaging Madness 2026 is officially back. 🎉

Last year, we launched an experiment: a bracket-style tournament to find the world’s best outreach. We saw thousands of votes and one undeniable truth: the "spray and pray" era is dead.

This year, the stakes are higher, the scenarios are tougher, and the philosophy has shifted.

From "Cold" to "Outreach"

In 2025, we called it a cold email competition. We were wrong.

Looking at the winning entries, none of them felt "cold." When you research a prospect and understand their pain so deeply that your message lands at the exact right moment, that’s not an intrusion. That’s a solution.

The theme for 2026: 

Turning a cold lead into a warm conversation through human-to-human connection.

How the Messaging Madness works:

Pick your scenario: Choose one of four specific prompts.
Write your email: Craft the perfect initial outreach.
The Selection: Our judges pick the Top 64 entries.
The Bracket: You go head-to-head in 6 rounds of public voting.

What we learned from the 2025 winners (@anne kar:

Relevance > Cleverness: "Smart" copy loses to "helpful" copy every time.

Length is a myth: Value-packed 200-word emails beat generic 50-word ones.

Be Human: If you sound like an AI template, you’ve already lost.

🏆 The Prize:

The "Follow-up 4" (Semi-finalists) all get a year of Hunter’s Starter plan.
The Champion takes home $1,000 cash.

📅 The Key Dates:

Entry Deadline: March 10

Bracket Announcement: March 16

First Round Voting: March 17

Stop sending spam. Start writing outreach that actually gets a reply.
