I make writing cold emails easy for entrepreneurs and sales teams 🚀 Growth @ Woodpecker | Consultant

Everyone wants to land clients consistently, and I figured out how.

With $15.2M+ in pipeline generated, 110+ clients scaled, and sales systems that generate revenue, I can show you how to build one yourself (without the trial-and-error BS).

In 2020: Scaled a SaaS to its first 1,000 customers via outbound cold emails
In 2023: Became the #1 cold email creator on LinkedIn by building my personal brand
In 2025: Teaching B2B teams the exact Cold Email + LinkedIn + Content playbook to land clients

Helped 100+ founders master the new outbound: LinkedIn intent signals, demand generation 
through content, social selling, and cold emails that actually convert.

Don't start your DM with: "Hope this message finds you well”

It has never found anyone well. Try this instead: 

1. Relevant + Good Timing + Personalised
• 2-4 sentences max. It's a DM, not an email.
• Personalise the 1st and the last line of your DM.

2. Value + Social Proof
• Show the Status QUO is not desirable by focusing on Cost of Inaction
• Add social proof with an example of a similar company = build trust faster

3. End strongly
• End with ONE clear yes/no call-to-action.
• Be super specific about what you’re asking for (don't ask the meeting)

This formula will get you a response: 

Name - <observation>, <value>. <social proof> + <risk reversal>. <CTA>.

Some good openers examples:

• Artur - your CEO <name> mentioned on a pod...
• Matt - saw in your <name of the report>...
• Yurii - despite 293k visits in October...

*Bonus tip: Move beyond DMs

- Combine DMs + Calls + Email.
- Decision-makers are more likely to respond that way.
- Use tools like Prospeo.io to find email addresses/phone numbers. 
* It works super well with Sales Nav + it's the best data on the market imo

Why be generic when you can stand out?

Outbound isn’t dead. Your system is. I fix that.

The 1-minute cold email checklist

(use it before you hit "send")

1. Each word counts
2. 1-3 word subject line
3. Doesn't scream "SALES"
4. 1st line loaded with research
5. <5-th grade reading language
6. F-shaped with shorter sentences
7. Clear reason “WHY” you contacted
8. “What is in it for a prospect” stands out
9. Can be read on the phone without scrolling 
10. Social proof that you helped a similar company

Bonus tip: add one soft tone Call-to-Action at the end

An example of such cold email: 

Subject: DACH expansion 

Margaret - saw Woodpecker’s DACH expansion is a Q1 focus.

Cold emails that worked in the US tend to flop with German buyers.

Hubspot’s DACH team booked 18% more meetings after 2 months with us.
We helped rebuilt their whole outreach for cultural fit.

Want to see how they did it?

P.S. Loved your LinkedIn take on deliverability.

Stop desperately asking for a meeting.

Don’t use AI to write your cold email scripts.

It makes you look bad. Here’s why: 

AI does a lot. 

Deep research? (AiSDR)
Enrichment? (Clay)
Drafts? (Twain).

But AI can’t originate. 

It relies heavily on templates and patterns it's seen before.

Also, AI often misses crucial context:

• If they already have a solution like yours
• How your solution fits into the prospect's ecosystem
• Whether your timing makes sense for their business cycle

The most effective cold emails I've seen share these things:

- Clear reason why act now
- micro-stories with social proof
- Relevant, well timed and good offer

Here’s how to use AI + Cold Emails best: 

Use AiSDR (agent) or Clay's agent to: 

1. De-anonymise site visitors
2. Summarise LinkedIn profiles in seconds
3. Find lookalike leads, prep 1st cold email draft

Then, it’s time for you to step in: 

1/ Adapt the cold email draft for you (use Twain)
2/ Add authentic voice and personality
3/ Ensure contextual relevance

AI can help. 

But it won’t replace someone who “gets it.”

What would you add?

AI SDR vs Human SDR - who sells more?

Human. Here's why: 

Buyers aren't ready for 100% AI reps in 2025.

- 98% of execs still prefer real conversations
- 96% trust brands more after human interaction
- 72% engage only with messages that resonate

But ditching AI? That’s just as bad.

Top teams don’t choose. They combine both

- AI = speed.
research, data, and grunt work

- Humans = strategy.
nuance, tactics, and relationships

The results speak:
 +30% ROI with AI tools
 + 25% cost savings and more output
 +202% reply rates with AI enriched cold emails

Use tools like AiSDR to:

1. De-anonymise site visitors
2. Summarise LinkedIn profiles in seconds
3. Find lookalike leads, prep 1st cold email draft

So you have more time to close and build genuine relationships

So, stop chasing the magic button.
Start building a hybrid Human + AI sales machine

♻️ Repost if you agree with this. 

PS. I`m Yurii and I`m building an outbound sales system that actually works. For those DONE with wasted effort or think "outbound is not for us". Want to hear more about it: DM me "SYSTEM"

Cold email isn’t dead - people just stopped replying to generic ones.
 
See how I turned cold email from “meh” to “let’s talk”:
 
1. Relevant hook
→ Lead with THEIR problem, not your pitch.
 
2. Clear value
→ Show why staying with their current solution costs them more.
 
3. Strong close
→ One direct CTA (no begging for calls).

PS. I help founders book 25+ meetings/month. DM “System" to find out more.

Cold Email Rewrite

Your cold email should be like a burger.

The first bite has to be so good, prospects want more.

Unfortunately, most emails are gas station sandwiches.

Here's the 8-ingredient recipe to cook up a Michelin Star +15% reply rate:

1. Subject Line (The Bun Top)
- Think boring, think internal. 
- Keep it simple, under 3 words.

2. Opener (The First Bacon Bite)
- Your 1st line should scream "I did my homework."
- Use enrichment tools to find info for a "punchy start" 

3. Relevance (The Cheese)
- Focus on WHY NOW, instead of WHY US
- Work-related reasons always win.

4 Pain Point (The Healthy Stuff)
- Mirror their biggest challenge and reveal the cost of inaction.
- This is the only way to create real urgency.

5. Value (The Pickled Onion)
- Nobody cares about your product/service. 
- Everyone's looking for "what's in it for me”. not “what we do”

6 Social Proof (The Lettuce)  
- Show how you helped similar companies. 
- One specific win beats ten vague claims.

7. Clear CTA (The Meat)
- Make saying "no" easy. 1 yes/no question.
- Reduce friction, build trust.

8. P.S. Section (The Secret Sauce)
- Save personal interests for PS. 
- Let your main email focus on business value.

*Bonus Burger + Fries combo

Just like burgers need fries, cold emails need deliverability.
The best copy means nothing in spam folders.

I use Maildoso to ensure +98% deliverability

→ Pick my outbound domains there
→ It monitors my deliverability daily so I catch issues early.
→ Safely send image, videos, links in cold emails (game changer)

Follow these rules.

They get replies.

An example of such an email: 

Subject: DACH outreach plan 

Margaret - in Woodpecker’s quarterly report expansion to DACH seems to be a top priority for Q2.

Cold emails that work in DACH differ from those you used to grow in the US.

Hubspot’s DACH sales team started booking 27% more meetings after just 2 months of working with us. 

Would insights on how they did ot be interesting to you?

PS. Your LinkedIn posts on email deliverability are really insightful

*Pro tip.
These tips mean nothing if your emails land in SPAM (happened a lot in 2025)

- That's why I send my emails using Maildoso's infrastructure.
- It gets me +97% primary inbox placement - even to Outlook emails.
- Plus, it's cheaper to buy mailboxes that way (only $1.80) compared to Google.

1. Why everyone saying “outbound is dead” is wrong (and losing)

I’ve been in the SDR and outbound space for over 4 years.

And here are 10 brutal truths about being an SDR/BDR:

1️⃣ No one likes getting cold calls or cold emails
2️⃣ Rejection is part of your daily routine
3️⃣ Every business needs you, but the job is rarely appreciated
4️⃣ You’re judged purely on performance, every single day
5️⃣ The pressure of quotas never stops
6️⃣ Many factors that affect your success are completely out of your control
7️⃣ Burnout and self-doubt hit harder than most people think
8️⃣ Your past achievements mean little if you don’t deliver now
9️⃣ Most companies skip training but expect instant results
🔟 A toxic sales culture can destroy your career

I’m not trying to sound negative but this is just the reality.

And I believe every aspiring or current SDR/BDR should know what they’re signing up for.

What’s one hard truth you’d add to this list?

Step-by-step guide to ruin your email infrastructure in 2025 :


1️⃣ Use your primary domain for cold outreach. Who needs subdomains anyway?

2️⃣ Add 3 links, a video, and maybe a GIF for good luck on your first email.

3️⃣ Send the same email to at least 1,000 prospects. Personalization is overrated, right?

4️⃣ Skip Icypeas for email verification. Who cares if it bounces, as long as it sends.

5️⃣ Throw in a few spam words like “FREE,” “GUARANTEED,” and “LIMITED TIME OFFER.” Works every time.

6️⃣ Keep your bounce rate above 30%. That’s how you know you’re reaching people.

7️⃣ And please, don’t forget to drop your calendar link in the first email. Instant meeting, guaranteed.

Cold calling is a tough sport.

▶️ You’ll face more rejections than wins.
▶️ Prospects hang up mid-sentence.
▶️ You get 10 to 20 seconds to grab attention.
▶️ Some days, you’ll question yourself.
▶️ Rejection can mess with your confidence.
▶️ And honestly, few people appreciate the job.

But most of that is out of your control.

What you can control is how you show up.

You can train your skills.
Work on your mindset.
Practice your craft like an athlete before a big game.

Still, one thing can kill your rhythm if you ignore it - your Mobile Data

Bad data means wasted dials, wrong prospects, and fewer connects.
Even the best cold caller loses then.

That’s where FullEnrich helps.

It searches across multiple data providers until it finds a match, giving you the best coverage at the lowest cost.
You only pay for verified data that actually works.

If you want to improve your cold calling game, I’ve built an SDR Playbook with helpful resources.
Comment “cold call” and I’ll share it with you.

Great post by Debrup Saha!

Cold calling is one of the toughest skills out there, and I truly respect people who openly share their learnings to help others get better.

#sdrlife #coldcalling

Founding SDR @Vieu | Helps you get access to your Economic Buyer | Building the future of Go-to-Network (GTN) |

Posted my first cold call recording today… and yes, it definitely wasn’t perfect.

 But that’s exactly why I shared it.

On this call, I hit almost every classic objection:
🔴 “Reach out in the first week of January.”
 🔴 “I’m not the decision-maker.”
 🔴 “Just send me an email.”

Instead of backing off, I leaned in as a Founding SDR, embracing the reality that I’ll face more failures than wins, and every rep is a chance to sharpen the blade.

I kicked off the call with a pain-first, problem-centric approach, diving right into the challenges teams face when trying to open doors at enterprise accounts. 

From there, I tried to add real value by tailoring a quick, custom mini-demo aligned to their exact use case.

Was it smooth? Not really.
 Was it a win? Definitely.

Because progress doesn’t come from perfect calls, it comes from being willing to fail publicly, iterate, and grow.

Curious, how are you handling objections like " Reach me out in the first week of Jan"?
