Here's why most cold emails go to spam.

(And what we do differently)

The problem isn't your copy.

It's your infrastructure.

Most founders: 1-2 inboxes, blasting 100+ emails/day.

What happens: Spam filters notice. Domain reputation tanks. Game over.

What we do instead:

1. Multiple inboxes per domain
↳ 3 pre-warmed inboxes (Zapmail) or 2 Google + up to 25 Outlook (ScaledMail)

2. Strict sending limits
↳ 15-20 cold emails per inbox per day. Never more.

3. Warmup ratio locked
↳ 1.5x warmup emails for every cold send

4. Domain-level health monitoring
↳ If ONE inbox drops below 98% health, all inboxes from that domain get pulled

5. Automatic removal
↳ Unhealthy accounts removed from campaigns instantly. No manual checking.

The result: Your emails actually land in the inbox.

Not the promotions tab.

Not spam.

The actual inbox.

Most founders learn this after burning 3 domains.

You don't have to.

Here's our 10-stage lead enrichment pipeline.

It runs while you sleep.

Most founders manually research leads one-by-one.

Here's what we built instead:

Stage 1: Blocklist check (150 workers)
↳ Filter unsubscribes and complaints instantly

Stage 2: Global dedup
↳ Never email the same person twice

Stage 3: AI ICP classification
↳ Every lead scored against your ideal customer profile

Stage 4: Email cache lookup
↳ 140,000+ emails already stored - no paying twice

Stage 5-8: Email waterfall
↳ 4 patterns tested before spending a penny on paid lookups

Stage 9: Personalization
↳ AI-written copy that doesn't sound like AI

Stage 10: Campaign upload
↳ Ready to send by the time you wake up

We process 4,000-5,000 leads per hour.

Your SDR does maybe 50.

Your competitors aren't hiring more people.

They're building systems like this.

Most founders think they need to hire an SDR.
They don't. They need to automate.
Here's the math:

SDR cost:
- Salary: $50-70K/year
- Tools: $500/month
- Training: 3+ months before productive
- Output: Maybe 50 leads researched per day

Automation cost:
- Infrastructure: Fraction of an SDR salary
- Speed: 4,000-5,000 leads per hour
- Training: Zero
- Consistency: 24/7, no sick days, no ramp time

The gap isn't 2x.

It's 100x.

One SDR working 8 hours might research 400 leads.

Our pipeline does that in 5 minutes.

While you sleep.

While you're in meetings.

While your competitors are still interviewing candidates.

The best GTM teams aren't hiring more people.

They're building systems that don't need people.

Your SDR isn't slow.

The model is slow.

Email verification at $0.0005.

Not $0.05. Not $0.005.

$0.0005.

Here's why that matters:

Most teams verify emails one at a time:
• Find email: $0.02
• Verify email: $0.01
• Total: $0.03 per lead

Our approach:

• Check cache first: $0
• Try 4 patterns at $0.0005 each: $0.002
• Only pay for lookup if patterns fail

For a 10,000 lead campaign:

Traditional: $300 in verification alone
Our pipeline: Under $50

$250 saved. Per campaign.

And those savings compound.

Every email we find gets cached permanently.

Next time that person appears in any campaign, the lookup is instant and free.

140,000+ emails already cached.

Every week you're not caching, you're paying twice for the same people.

Most cold emails get ignored.

  Not because your offer is bad.
  Because you're writing like a stranger.

  Here's the framework that gets 40%+ open rates:

  The secret? Write like you're texting a friend who asked for help.

  Not: "I noticed your company is scaling..."
  But: "Quick question - are you still manually finding leads?"

  Specificity builds trust.
  Brevity shows respect.
  Questions create curiosity.

  What's your current open rate on cold emails?

Clay went from $1M to $100M ARR in 2 years.

They recently hit a $3B valuation. Here's their GTM playbook 👇

1. Six Years of Foundation Work

Clay didn't rush to market.

They spent 6 years building the product before explosive growth hit.

The lesson: Infrastructure matters more than speed.


2. Credit-Based Pricing Model

Every action costs credits:
→ Pull a LinkedIn profile
→ Find contact info
→ Look up a phone number
→ Run an AI prompt

This model scaled with usage. More value = more credits = more revenue.


3. Self-Serve First, Enterprise Later

They built a foundational self-serve customer base first.
Only in early 2024 did they move upmarket.

Now their customers include:
→ OpenAI
→ Canva
→ Anthropic
→ Rippling
→ Perplexity


4. Outbound Use Case as Core Wedge

Clay connects to sequencing tools to automatically create email campaigns from enriched data.

Rippling doubled their cold email performance year-over-year using Clay in 2023.

That's the power of good data + automation.


5. Near-Breakeven Operations

Even at $100M ARR, Clay operates close to breakeven.

They're reinvesting everything into growth rather than optimizing for profit margins.


The timeline:
→ 2018-2022: Building foundation
→ 2022: $500K ARR
→ 2023: 10x to ~$5M ARR
→ 2024: 6x growth
→ 2025: $100M ARR, $3B valuation

From 6 years of patience to 2 years of explosive growth.

P.S: What's your take on credit-based pricing for GTM tools?

We run an 8-stage lead enrichment pipeline.

Here's what happens to every lead in under 3 seconds:

Stage 1: Blocklist Check
• Filter unsubscribes and complaints
• 150 workers running in parallel

Stage 2: Cache Lookup
• Check if we've emailed this person before
• 140,000+ emails already cached

Stage 3: ICP Classification
• AI determines if lead fits your ideal customer profile
• Rejects bad fits before we spend a penny

Stage 4: Email Cache
• Check our database for known emails
• Free lookup for repeat contacts

Stage 5: Pattern Verification
• Try 4 email patterns automatically
• firstname@company, first.last@company, etc.

Stage 6-7: Professional Finders
• Only pay for lookups when needed
• Waterfall through providers

Stage 8: Final Upload
• Clean, verified lead ready for campaign

The result:

4,000-5,000 leads enriched per hour.

Your SDR does 10-15 per hour manually.

That's not an incremental improvement.

Your competitors aren't hiring more SDRs.

They're automating.

While you're posting job listings for $80K/year sales reps:

• They're running 150 parallel workers
• They're processing thousands of leads per hour
• They're paying under $0.02 per enriched lead

The math has changed.

Manual lead research:
• 10-15 leads per SDR per hour
• $80K+ salary + benefits + management
• Weeks to ramp up new hires

Automated pipeline:
• 4,000-5,000 leads per hour
• No sick days, no turnover
• Scales instantly

This isn't about replacing humans.

It's about letting AI handle the grunt work so your team can focus on closing deals.

Every week you wait, competitors are building lead lists you'll never catch up to.

AI agents now book more meetings than your entire SDR team.

For 1/10th the cost.

Here's what the data shows:

→ AI SDRs cost ~$833/month
→ Human SDRs cost $9,000+/month (fully loaded)
→ That's 10 cents on the dollar

The results?

• AI handles 1,000+ contacts per day (no lunch breaks)
• Cost per lead: $39 vs $262 for humans
• 83% of teams using AI saw revenue growth

36% of B2B companies eliminated their SDR teams in 2025.

Not because AI is "better" at everything.

Because the economics of volume prospecting fundamentally changed.

The smartest founders aren't asking "should we use AI?"

They're asking "how fast can we implement it?"

The gap between early adopters and everyone else is widening every month.

You're paying twice for the same email addresses.

And you probably don't know it.

Here's how it happens:

Month 1: You run a campaign. Find 5,000 emails. Cost: $100.

Month 2: You run another campaign. Different list. But 2,000 of those people? You already have their emails.

You just paid for them again.

Month 3: Same thing. Another $40 wasted on emails you already own.

Multiply that by 12 months.

That's $500+ thrown away. Per year. On emails sitting in your own CRM.

What we do differently:

We cache every email permanently.

140,000+ leads in our database.

When a new lead comes in, we check the cache first.

Hit rate? Often 20-30% on mature campaigns.

That's 20-30% of your enrichment costs eliminated instantly.

Before we spend a penny on a paid lookup, we check:
1. Have we seen this person before?
2. Do we already have their verified email?
3. Is the domain a catch-all? (Skip it entirely)

Simple system. Massive savings.

Most founders burn money on email lookups.

We check 4 email patterns before spending a penny.

Here's the waterfall we run:

1. Cache lookup first
• 140,000+ verified emails in our database
• Instant match = $0 cost

2. Pattern verification
• Try firstname@domain
• Try first.last@domain
• Try firstlast@domain
• Try f.last@domain
• Verification costs $0.0005 per check

3. Professional finders (only if needed)
• LeadMagic: ~$0.02/lookup
• Icypeas: ~$0.02/lookup

The result:

Most leads never hit the paid providers.

Our average cost per enriched lead: $0.003 - $0.02

Compare that to paying $0.02 for every single lookup from day one.

The 4-pattern check alone saves 60-70% on email finding costs.

Every cached email is pure profit.

Writing about creative work and human potential

D1 Football ➟ Writer, Podcaster & Creator Consultant

Jack Moses

All 10 spots for the Thailand Creator Expedition are filled.

However, a new idea for 5 more people to join has emerged.

The spots filled quickly once my friends Nick Sweeney among some other Twitter writers signed up.

Also, my friend Leigh St.John, an expert meditation teacher and spiritual guide, will likely be joining us for a few days and meditation workshops.

I would love it if there were more space in the Airbnb for more people to join, but the capacity has been filled.

Maybe in the future, I’ll rent a 20-30-person mansion somewhere in the world and host a huge mastermind.

Another vision is to create a holistic community living center for creative entrepreneurs who want to raise the vibration of the planet.

But those ideas are still a bit far out (unless any investors are reading this post ;)

For now, the Thailand Retreat is most immediate.

Since all spots have been filled, but a handful of people still want to join, I have come up with a solution:

Instead of staying with us at the Airbnb, you can still join the retreat from sunrise to sunset from your own hotel, Airbnb, or lodging.

You will still have access to all 7 days of masterminds, creative work sessions, healing sessions, workouts, and any events we attend.

All you have to cover is food and lodging.

5 spots are available for this opportunity.

To join us or to chat more about this, please message me here on LinkedIn.

We would love to see you there,

Jack

Your personal mystic & performance strategist ⎸ I help founders and creatives build empires through identity expansion and mind-body-spirit alignment ⎸ Subscribe below ↓

Recently, I’ve been dressing nice and going to boujee cafes and lounges to work (instead of wearing a hoodie and sweatpants at my desk).

I'm using vintage leather journals and gold pens.

Wearing Ra Optics daylight glasses.

Working out first thing in the morning and getting clean-shaven.

Why?

Everything is downstream of your identity.

When I imagine my identity 5 years from now and visualize what I'll be wearing and where I'll be working, I see myself in nice clothes, in nice places, writing and doing high-level deals.

To bring this future vision into the now, I'm simply acting as if I were already living in that future.

The way I write...
The way I send messages...
The way I talk about my offers...

It all elevates as a result of my chosen environment and my aesthetic.

You can program yourself to unlock your next level in the same way.

Put yourself into environments where wealth and money circulate.

Dress like the person you wish to be.

Walk around and talk to people as if you were already the person you wish to be.

If you were operating 1 or 2 levels higher - or the version of you 3-5 years from now:

- How would you dress?
- Where would you work?
- What would your schedule be?
- What would you be working on?
- How would you speak to prospects?

Take these answers and embody them today.

I guarantee you'll begin to see a shift.

10 Michael Jordan quotes you need to hear:

1) To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.

2) I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life, I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it.

3) I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot … When you think about the consequences, you will always think of the negative result.

4) Relax and never think about what’s at stake. Just think about the basketball game.

5) If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

6) If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working on it.

7) Look me in the eye. It’s ok if you’re scared. So am I. But we are scared for different reasons. I am scared of what I won’t become. And you are scared of what I could become. Look at me. I won’t let myself end where I started. I won’t let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, even if you can’t see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am.

8) Focus like a laser, not a flashlight.

9) If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.

10) I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

I love being a generalist as a coach.

No two calls look the same.

One call, we dive deep into building a funnel, a landing page, a lead magnet, a content strategy, and a marketing strategy.

Next, we go into fixing energy levels, light diet, grounding, sleep, diet, nutrition, caffeine timing, exercise, movement, flow psychology, and nootropics.

And on another, we'll analyze dreams, look at astrology and human design for clues, and talk about quantum physics and the nature of the universe.

Every person is incredibly unique.

Everyone has unique life experiences, circumstances, goals, and problems.

My aim is to use everything in my toolbox and throw "the kitchen sink" at an obstacle to help someone surmount it in a way that actually feels right for them...

No matter if they're looking to get healthier, build a personal brand, find their life's purpose, or live a life of more freedom and alignment.
