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

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

Helping B2B life science companies grow using strategic outbound | Co-founder at Astris Partners

Stop reading this.

Unless you want systematic, predictable revenue growth.

👉 Here’s my stance:

If you’re looking for a lead gen agency that promises 50 unqualified meetings a month, scroll on.

If you want someone who claims they understand your market better than you do after a 30-minute discovery call, this isn’t for you.

👉 Here’s what we actually do at Astris Partners:

We don’t generate leads. We build systematic outreach operations.

We extract the winning patterns from your existing customer relationships and create repeatable systems to reach more people in identical situations.

No guesswork. No spray-and-pray. No promises we can’t keep.

👉 Whether you’re:

	• A startup testing product-market fit hypotheses

	• An established company wanting predictable growth systems

	• A life science leader tired of random outreach

If you’re serious about systematic growth that you can forecast and scale, let’s talk.

We work with B2B companies who want to own their growth process, not depend on it.

Ready to stop hoping and start systematizing?
Shoot me a DM or click the link in my bio.

PS. We’ve done this successfully for over 50 B2B companies so far

Remember when you thought cold email was dead? Yeah, me too 👀

I was sending 100s of emails and still got no reply

Tried every guru-approved subject line, added fancy personalization tokens like, and used all the templates.

Nothing worked 🤷

Watching everyone else talk about their fully booked calendars while I couldn't even get a single reply. 

I started thinking maybe I needed a huge audience first but you know what’s the worst part?

I knew my service could help these people but I couldn't even get them to read my message.

Then I stopped trying to sound like a marketer

And the result? 5 paying clients in 3 weeks. 1 referral chain that's still going

That’s when I realized you don't need 10K followers or any fancy funnels.

You just need the right message, the right person and the right timing.

Swipe the carousel to see how I landed those clients 👇

How I Landed My First 5 Clients Using Cold Email

Everyone thinks they've maxed out their TAM.

They haven't…

Last quarter, I was talking to a friend and he said… ‘’I told my team to expand to adjacent marketers… We've contacted everyone in our ICP’’

But here's what actually happened:

They didn't max out their TAM, they maxed out their tool's coverage.

When you use a single enrichment provider, you're not seeing your full addressable market

You're seeing whatever that one database managed to scrape.

And the other 30%? Sitting in regional providers, niche databases, and sources your tool doesn't touch.

So while you're changing your strategy and lowering your ICP standards...

Your best fit prospects are just sitting there… Unreached 🤷

Whenever teams come to me with this, I recommend BetterContact. 

It aggregates 20+ data sources, verifies across 4 layers, and only charges for valid contacts.

And because these prospects are least contacted, they convert at higher rates

So, Before you expand to a new market, Ask yourself… 

"Have I actually reached my entire TAM, or just the 30% my tool can see?"

What 70% of Your ICP Never Tells You

The best sales email I ever saw had a terrible copy

I'm not kidding

I was reviewing outbound strategies with a client last week, and they showed me an email that got a reply in 11 minutes

No clever hooks or any polished value prop. 

Just a quick note saying ‘Saw your team just announced Series B - congrats.’

I reviewed their other emails too

Beautifully crafted emails with perfect cas studies… All sitting in the inbox with zero response

That's when I realized that most of use are losing deals not because pitch is not good enough

It’s because we are sending the right message at the wrong time 

This is what that simple email got right

The prospect had just announced their Series B. They were in growth mode. 

It was exactly what they needed to hear at that exact moment.

Most of the time it's about timing and 4 lines average email can outperform every polished pitch because it arrived at the perfect moment.

So, stop obsessing over perfect words and start obsessing over perfect timing.

Why brilliant copywriters get zero replies and it’s their fault, though

We all know those copywriters who can write the best headlines

Craft stories that sell and make words dance on the page

But when it comes to cold email, they can’t do anything

Let me explain what’s happening here

The problem is not with the copy, 17% of cold emails never even reach the inbox. 

They're filtered out before anyone reads a single word

They write perfect copy and it still lands in spam

Cold email isn't just copywriting but a complete systems thinking, including

→ Sender reputation → Domain health → Deliverability infrastructure → Spam filter navigation

So, what do we do now? Fix your foundation first.

And we recommend Saleshandy for this.

Warm-up and sender rotation keep domains healthy, while sequence score checks your copy before launch. 

Inbox placement testing catches issues early.

Once deliverability is dialed in, even average copy performs. 

And when it's broken, even brilliant copywriters look bad.

Why Great Copywriters Still Fail At Cold Email

LinkedIn taught me how to grow and how easy it is to lose yourself while doing it

I didn’t notice it at first, but it crept in slowly 

One more message to send, one more follow-up to check.

I kept telling myself it was just part of the game…

This is what consistency looked like

But somewhere between all the tabs and spreadsheets, I stopped enjoying the conversations that once made this platform special

No… the purpose was not to connect anymore but to keep up

And the truth is, that kind of work doesn’t scale.

Not emotionally or sustainably. 

Then on one Friday evening, I shut my laptop and realized something very simple:

If a system depends entirely on my constant attention, it isn’t a system… It’s a trap.

That weekend, I rebuilt everything from scratch.

Not to chase faster results but to make space for slower, better ones.

I started using a few quiet tools to take the weight off…

One of them was Aimfox.

Just a small way to bring calm back into my workflow.

To organize conversations, automate the repetitive parts,

And off course… leave room for the human parts that actually matter

These days, I spend less time doing outreach and more time talking to people again

And slowly everything started to make sense

The inbox felt lighter and work began to breathe again 

Sometimes scaling is not related to doing more… its related to doing things differently

Happy Friday ✨

P.S. The dog’s still confused why everyone’s aiming at foxes when squirrels exist.

Hey there, Kevin here from Astris with something that's completely changed how we handle sales conversations. Most people use AI note takers just to a

Open article: Why AI Note Takers Are Your Secret Sales Weapon by Kevin Patrick (KP) 🤝 • 3 min read

Why AI Note Takers Are Your Secret Sales Weapon

Waiting until you're "ready" is the fastest way to fall behind.

I see it all the time:

People who want to launch a product spend 3 months perfecting the features.

People who want to master a new skill binge every course before trying it once.

People who want to start outbound spend months studying frameworks.

By the time they're ready, things have changed.

The tools have updated.

The market has moved.

And they're back to square one.

Here's what I've learned building Astris Partners:

You don't need to score 10/10 before you start.

You need to score 6/10 and learn the rest on the job.

Because here's the truth most people won't tell you:

Even if you knew everything, you'd still make mistakes.

The difference?

People who start imperfect learn what actually works.

People who wait for perfection learn what theoretically should work.

One builds a business.

The other builds a reading list.

This hit me hard this week.

I was advising a founder who kept delaying their launch.

"I need to read one more book on positioning."

"I want to watch a few more tutorials on the tools."

"Maybe I should take another course."

Meanwhile, their competitors were in market.

Learning. Adapting. Winning deals.

The gap wasn't knowledge.

It was action.

Look, I'm not saying skip the learning.

I'm saying learn and do at the same time.

In 2025, everything moves too fast to wait for perfect.

AI tools evolve weekly.

Best practices shift monthly.

Market conditions change overnight.

If you wait to know everything, you'll always be chasing.

So here's my Friday challenge:

Pick one thing you've been "preparing" for.

And start it Monday.

Imperfect. Incomplete. In progress.

Because the only way to get good at something is to be bad at it first.

And the only way to learn what works is to try what might not.

Your future self will thank you for starting messy.

Not for waiting perfect.
