A side job to keep me occupied and improving in different fields.

I immensely enjoyed the small experiences I had using WordPress Elementor/Shopify’s web builder and always had a thing for writing so I figured to turn it into something I can work on the side. I started offering to build landing pages and write SEO-friendly copy for online stores to continue refining my skills and eye for detail.

I stopped working as a freelancer once I was promoted to a higher position at Influencers.Club so I can focus on my responsibilities.

Junior Email Marketing Specialist

Shopify

My first taste of digital marketing.

After being hooked on dropshipping videos for a few months I decided to give it a try myself. Having zero experience, very limited funds and time to support this dream, it was not a success. Nevertheless, living through this occurrence made me realize how passionate I am about digital marketing, and as a result, I eventually convinced my parents to take a break from college to attend Brainster's Digital Marketing Academy - where I later landed a job after only 3 months (the earliest in Brainster's history).

Some of the first experiences I had during this short 1-month endeavor include:

- Managing an Instagram and Facebook page
- Instagram & Facebook Ads
- Influencer Marketing
- Web Building
- Creating Video and Photo Ads

Cold Email & Deliverability | Growth | Partner @ Vinna.ai

My passion is to share knowledge I've gained from 5 years of experience with businesses and individuals who want to get the most out of their cold emailing process.

If you think there’s any way we can help each other feel free to DM me!

Jovan Shojlevski

I wasted $3,000 on bad contact data last quarter.

Here's what I learned:

Your ICP research means nothing if you can't reach them

I was building perfect lists in Clay

- Great targeting
- Ideal companies
- Perfect firmographics 

But my email enrichment was finding only 40% of contacts

The problem?

I was using the wrong tools for email finding

Here's what changed everything:

I started running Prospeo.io in my Clay workflows

The difference was immediate:

Found 30% more valid emails than without it

Coverage jumped from 40% to 70%+ on most lists

Email accuracy remained consistently high

Why does this matter?

Every missing email is a missed conversation.

Every missed conversation is lost revenue.

The math is simple:

Better data coverage = More conversations = More deals

Now my enrichment workflow looks like this:

- Build targeting in Clay
- Run Prospeo.io for email enrichment
- Push to Instantly.ai

My reply rates didn't just improve.

My cost per booked call dropped by 40%.

Because I'm actually reaching the people I want to talk to.

A client got their main domain blacklisted

All because of a 5% bounce rate

Even though you should never be sending from your main domain;

Most founders think deliverability is about avoiding "spammy" words

It's not

It's about list hygiene

And most people skip this step entirely

I used to think email verification was optional too in the beginning

"My lists are fresh from scraping, they'll be fine."

I was dead wrong

Even "fresh" data contains:

- Catch-all emails that bounce randomly
- Typos that destroy your sender score
- Deactivated addresses that look valid

One bad campaign can kill months of domain warming

Here's what changed everything for me (and the client):

I started running every single email through Bouncer

Before it touches my sending domains

No exceptions

Most verifiers give you a simple yes/no

Bouncer gives you a risk score

It shows:

- Which emails are spam traps
- Which addresses are toxic
- Which catch-alls will actually hurt you

This lets you make smart decisions instead of gambling

The results?

- Bounce rates dropped under 1%
- Domains stay healthy for months
- No more losing domains to bad data

So keep this simple rule:

Every email gets verified before it enters your sending platform

Because your deliverability isn't about what you write

It's about who you're sending to

5 Reasons cold email beginners land in spam

(and simple fixes) 

If your emails are going to spam

You are missing out on potential leads and conversions

So here are 5 mistakes that could be taking you to spam and what to do instead: 

1. Not verifying your contacts

↳ Verify every contact list with tools like Bouncer

2. Hard-to-read content

↳ Keep the message simple and to the point

WordCounter and Hemingway are game-changers for this

3. Not optimized for mobile

↳ Most read email on mobile, if they don’t have a good experience 

They are more likely to give you negative engagement

4. Overlooking basic authentication

↳ Setup SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify your sender identity

Most infrastructure providers do this automatically

This is crucial to build trust with ESPs and improve deliverability

5. Not monitoring performance

↳ Always analyze stats to make decisions and optimize future campaigns

This includes monitoring domain-specific performance metrics (Peeker AI helps so much with this if you're a beginner)

Never settle for results you know are below average

Look at your stats daily and look for what is underperforming and why

rest Drink GmbH & Co. KG

rest is a delicious drink with juices that contains only natural ingredients and comes without caffeine, taurine and preservatives. Instead you get mouth-watering cranberry, orange, lime and some ginger.

We've added extracts of shizandra, suma root and passiflora. rest is the ideal drink for everyone who wishes for a natural break and relaxation in everyday life. 

How it all started: during our semester abroad in Scotland in 2013, we were inspired by the calm and relaxed atmosphere in Scotland and the idea was born to bring some of it back to Germany. A little bit later we were standing in our kitchen in Karlsruhe refining the recipe for our natural relaxation drink. After many attempts rest was born and we hit the road for Berlin.

How to Push Without Being Pushy

7 Sales Phrases That Move Deals Forward:

https://lnkd.in/eNVZpK34

Most deals don’t stall because reps forget to follow up.

They stall because reps push the wrong way.

Here’s how top reps move deals forward—without sounding desperate:

❌ “Are you ready to move forward?”
✅ “What would a successful next step look like for you?”
→ Makes it about them, not your quota.

❌ “Just checking in…”
✅ “Last time we spoke, you mentioned [X] — is that still a priority?”
→ Anchors to their words, not your needs.

❌ “When can you sign the contract?”
✅ “Assuming we’re aligned, is [X date] realistic on your end?”
→ Increases clarity without pressure.

❌ “What’s holding you back?”
✅ “Is there anything we haven’t covered that’s still on your mind?”
→ Invites honesty instead of defensiveness.

❌ “You said this was important — what changed?”
✅ “Has the priority shifted, or is there something else we should factor in?”
→ Opens the door without guilt or shame.

❌ “Let me know what you think.”
✅ “Would it make sense to [book a call / review next steps] together?”
→ Clear CTA. Collaborative tone.

❌ “Let me know when you’re ready.”
✅ “If nothing changes, where do you see this landing in the next 2 weeks?”
→ Nudges commitment while staying helpful.

Because pressure creates friction.

But insightful nudges create movement.

Your sales strategy isn’t broken.

It’s just missing one pillar.


⇢ Get our Top 50 Sales Cheat Sheets: https://lnkd.in/e3Sb_xRy 


Every repeatable sales engine runs on four core pillars:

1. Focus

• Clear ICP, clear targets, clear reason to reach out.

• Without it, reps chase everyone and close no one.


2. Demand

• A consistent motion that fills pipeline with qualified opportunities.

• Without it, growth stalls and forecasts become fiction.


3. Execution

• Process, tools, and discipline that turn interest into closed deals.

• Without it, effort rises, results don’t.


4. Expansion

• A repeatable model for upsells, cross-sells, and retention.

• Without it, every month starts from zero.


Sales Mastery

• When clarity, demand, execution, and expansion work as one.

The Sales Zoo: 10 Sales Personalities That Kill Deals

1. THE PEACOCK 🦚 (All Flash, No Follow-Through)

Struts into sales calls with flashy presentations and big talk but never follows up or delivers real value.

⇢ Fix: Teach the importance of follow-ups and substance over style.

_______

_______

2. THE SLOTH 🦥 (Slow to Respond, Loses Momentum)

Takes forever to answer emails, lets leads go cold, and moves at a painfully slow pace.

⇢ Fix: Implement strict response time expectations and CRM reminders.

3. THE CHAMELEON 🦎 (Says Anything to Close)

Changes their pitch based on what they think the prospect wants to hear—even if it’s untrue.

⇢ Fix: Train on ethical sales and setting realistic expectations.

4. THE HEDGEHOG 🦔 (Defensive and Resistant to Feedback)

Gets prickly when customers challenge them and refuses to adapt their approach.

⇢ Fix: Foster a growth mindset and encourage open conversations.

5. THE GOLDFISH 🐠 (Forgets Everything, Loses Deals)

Never takes notes, forgets key details, and constantly asks the same questions.

⇢ Fix: Use a CRM religiously and practice active listening.

6. THE HYENA 🐆 (Always Undercutting on Price)

Laughs off value and immediately drops prices, hurting margins and credibility.

⇢ Fix: Teach negotiation tactics focused on value instead of discounts.

7. THE MEERKAT 🐾 (Jumps from Lead to Lead, Never Closes)

Always scanning for new prospects but never sticking with one long enough to close.

⇢ Fix: Implement structured follow-ups and pipeline discipline.

8. THE TURKEY 🦃 (Talks Too Much, Listens Too Little)

Gobble, gobble—just keeps talking and pitching without understanding the prospect’s real needs.

⇢ Fix: Use a 70/30 listening-to-talking ratio in sales calls.

9. THE OWL 🦉 (Too Analytical, Never Takes Action)

Overthinks every deal, drowns in research, and hesitates to pull the trigger.

⇢ Fix: Set deadlines for decision-making and encourage action-oriented sales.

10. THE MOSQUITO 🦟 (Annoys Instead of Adds Value)

Relentlessly pesters prospects with non-stop follow-ups but offers nothing of substance.

⇢ Fix: Focus on quality engagement rather than quantity of outreach.

How to Build a High-Performing Sales Team

✔ Train for adaptability, patience, and strategic action
✔ Focus on value-driven sales rather than pushy tactics
✔ Hold reps accountable for both activity and effectiveness

⇢ "Great sales reps don’t just sell - they solve problems and build trust."

Great sellers don’t win because they know more.

They win because they execute better.

https://lnkd.in/e-K5x3Pp

Winning consistently isn’t about sophisticated pitches or longer workflows.

It’s about doing the small things with precision.

The reps who close more:

• Lead every call with intent
• Guide the next step without rushing the finish line
• Make buyers feel understood, not pressured
• Keep their pipeline clean, not crowded
• Ask harder questions earlier
• Control time, follow-up, and expectations
• Treat urgency, clarity, and discipline as advantages

None of this is flashy.

But it is what separates sellers who hope from sellers who win.

If you want to level up this quarter, tighten the fundamentals.

Small edges compound fast.

The 9 Harsh Truths Every Sales Rep Learns Too Late

These aren’t lessons - they’re battle scars.

1.) Speed beats perfect
 ⇢ You waited too long. Someone else didn’t.

_______
FREE: Top 50 Sales Cheat Sheets: https://lnkd.in/eWg9yBvm

2.) You can’t save a dead lead
 ⇢ Stop trying to resurrect ghosts. Focus on who’s moving.

3.) One line can kill the deal
 ⇢ Every word builds trust—or breaks it.

4.) Great pitch, wrong time
 ⇢ Even gold sounds like noise when the timing’s off.

5.) Nobody cares about your product
 ⇢ They care about solving their problems.

6.) Charm doesn’t beat consistency
 ⇢ Showing up > sounding slick.

7.) Nobody owes you a response
 ⇢ You’re not ignored—you’re just not relevant yet.

8.) Prospects forget you fast
 ⇢ Out of inbox = out of mind.

9.) Confidence > cleverness
 ⇢ Say it with certainty, not sarcasm.

You don’t need more hacks.

You need fewer blind spots.
