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?

Ps. I`m Yurii, follow me for more actionable DM tips.

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

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).

What would you add?
 
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.

Get clients, investments and influence by speaking confidently | Public Speaking Coach for entrepreneurs and execs | ex-Fortune 50 | My featured section has a gift for you.

You know who gets the most clients and promotions?

The person who can speak the best.

You might be an expert in your domain.
But if you don't speak with confidence, no one will trust you.

Your career and business will suffer because you struggle to speak powerfully.

Your next client will go to the person who presents better than you.
Your next promotion will go to the person who communicates better than you.
Your investor might pass because they are not convinced of your value and worth.

You’ll feel weak and powerless.

It’s crazy because you have a lot to share with the world.

But your speaking skills let you down.

Here’s the good news:
It doesn’t have to be like that.

Now imagine:
You ace sales calls and win dream projects because you speak with confidence.
You get that promotion because you present with clarity in the boardroom.
You build a powerful brand because the world listens when you speak.

I can help you get there.

I’ve helped 500+ entrepreneurs and execs become confident and effective speakers.

• Entrepreneurs like Wes, who had stage fright and went blank when he was in the spotlight.

• VPs like Sarah, whose voice shook every time she presented in the boardroom. But became a confident speaker working with me and secured 2 leads worth $350,000 for her company.

• LinkedIn creators like Jasmin Alić, Ruben Hassid, Lara Acosta, Sophie Miller, Nigel Thomas, Nicholas Boucher, and Mando Sallavanti III who now speak on big stages with credibility, authority, and influence.

I can help you become a confident, powerful speaker too.

Are you ready to stop missing opportunities and start attracting them?

DM me ‘SPEAK’ to find out how.

Who am I:
• 3-time TEDx speaker.
• Award-winning ex-filmmaker.
• Communication skills trainer at Fortune 50 P&G.
• Official LinkedIn Instructor for public speaking courses.
• Coached 500+ execs at Google, Amazon, SAP, AT&T, IBM, Twitch, European Chamber of Commerce.

I'm also a part of the @elgato professional program as well as the LinkedIn Creators program.

Public Speaking Coach for stage and camera

I coach entrepreneurs and execs on how to speak on camera with maximum impact, create a powerful brand and grow professionally.

I grew from 1k to 302,000 followers on Instagram. 

In 5 months. This is how it happened: 

This year my goal was to grow beyond LinkedIn. 

Instagram seemed to be the natural choice: 

2 billion users vs 1 billion here. 

But I had already tried posting on instagram last year. 

Repurposing content from LinkedIn. 

No luck. Crickets. 

Then I hired a coach. 

Within 2 weeks we: 

→ Revamped my profile. 
→ Created a content strategy. 
→ Co-wrote scripts for reels geared for high reach. 

(Btw I worked with Alessio Bertozzi. They’re huge on insta). 

The results? 

→ 300,000+ new followers in 5 months. 
→ Doubled my mailing list. 
→ Sold out my cohort. 

This is the difference a coach can make. 

Without a coach: 
I would have struggled for months. And given up. 

With a coach: 
I now share my message with 300,000+ more people. 

Amateurs try to DIY alone. 
Pros go to the experts for coaching. 

P.S. Do you have a coach? Yes/no?

I’m a married woman in my early 40s. So I get asked: 

“Why don’t you have children?” 

This question can only ever have two answers: 

1. “Why is it any of your business?” 
2. “Because I…why is it any of your business?” 

The truth is: 

When someone asks you a personal question, 
What they’re really asking is: 

“Why aren’t you playing by the same rules as me?” 

They don’t always wish for you to succeed. 

They only want you to play the same game as them. 

So the moment you start playing your own game, 
Living by your own rules: 

You break free. 

You can choose what success looks like for you. 

For some, it might be having kids. 
For others, it might be traveling the world. 
Or being your own boss. 

Don’t let other people’s idea of success dictate yours. 

Find the game you want to play and play it. 
Unapologetically. 

P.S. What’s something exciting you’re working on?

Your body speaks before you do (even on Zoom). 

These 5 gestures can damage your first impression: 

Once you master body language, you can: 

→ Project confidence. 
→ Build trust instantly. 
→ Persuade and influence anyone. 

You see, perception matters. 

In every meeting, presentation, and interaction. 

When you learn to communicate without speaking, 

You become a top 1% communicator. 

The video below shows two types of body language. 

Which one do you think creates the most impact? 

♻️ Repost if you found this video helpful. 

P.S. Follow me Nausheen to never miss another video.

The 4 words that instantly win trust and deals: 

(Top 1% communicators keep this a secret) 

The 4 words are: 
“Is there a way…” 

Them: “This is too hard.” 
You: “Is there a way we can make this easier?” 

Them: “This is too expensive.” 
You: “Is there a way to make this worth your investment?” 

Them: “This is not working out. I’m leaving.” 
You: “Is there a way to make it work for you?” 

(Ok try the last one only when it’s worth it ;)) 

To win, you don’t need to be louder or more assertive. 
To win, you need to let the other person win too. 

P.S. Will you try this out this week? Yes/no?

I grew up in a developing country with a single mother. 

She taught me: “You’re no less than a man”. 

This was in a place where: 

- Girls often got married off in their teens. 
- Women had to dress, think, act conservatively. 
- To be “respected” you had to be a wife or a mother. 

But my mom made it “safe” and normal for me to: 

- Get a job instead of getting married. 
- Have strong opinions and talk publicly about them. 
- Never apologize for who I was or who I wanted to be. 

Raising me against the “norms”, mom faced criticism. 

“You’ve given Nausheen too much freedom” 

But as a result, I: 

- Explored the world and traveled to 20+ countries. 
- Bootstrapped a startup to $1M in revenue. 
- Spoke on global stages like TEDx. 

Now I coach CEOs with 10x more privilege than me. 

You are never limited by your gender, race or age. 

You are only limited by your mind. 

Once you realize this, you become unstoppable. 

P.S. What was most interesting about your childhood?

Top 1% leaders know how to convince anyone: 

(without the other person even realizing it). 

They use this technique - 

The “what - so what - what now” framework. 

I teach it to you in 38 seconds in this video. 

Follow me Nausheen to get tips to become powerful in any room. 

P.S. Want to try it out? Yes/no?

I just spoke at Web Summit with 70,000 attendees. 

Here are 5 weird lessons I learned: 

1. The “SPEAKER” badge gives you instant credibility: 
→ People see you’re “pre-selected” for your expertise. 

2. Speaking on stages is great, networking is better: 
→ The real magic happens in 1:1 conversations after. 

3. Use your talk as your calling card when networking: 
→ Ask new people you meet to come see you speak. 

4. Express genuine interest, show real enthusiasm: 
→ If you “fake” interest in someone, they will know it. 

5. Have a networking strategy before you attend: 
→ Then invest time in having real conversations. 

Every single event is an opportunity: 
New collaborators, potential clients and connectors. 

Start speaking on stages to be visible. 
Start networking to be remembered. 

P.S. Do you love or hate “networking”?

Your first impression can make or break the conversation. 

(This is how to prove you’re an expert in 60 seconds) 

Too many entrepreneurs neglect doing this: 

- They spend hours perfecting sales decks 
- They memorize their sales call scripts 
- They write engaging LinkedIn posts 

But they forget the one thing that sells them as experts: 

Your “presence” in a room or on a call. 

In this carousel, my friend Michael DeLon and I show you how it’s possible to instantly prove you’re an expert in the first 60 seconds. 

Because when you’re seen as an expert, 

- You close sales without objections 
- Clients save up to work with you 
- You get invited to sit at powerful tables 

Don’t dull your expertise with poor speaking skills. 
Learn to shine like the expert you already are.

P.S. What’s the one thing you want to be known for?

How to Look Like an Expert

I’ve coached 500+ CEOs to speak confidently. 

This is the #1 mistake I see them make: 

They get “confidence” wrong. 

Most people think confidence is “acting” a certain way. 

But to have unshakeable confidence, you have to dive deeper. 

Here are 3 layers of confidence to master: 

1. How to look confident: 

→ Get rid of the poker face - use expressions. 
→ Use open gestures and maintain great posture. 
→ Take up space physically and in the camera frame. 

2. How to sound confident: 

→ Enunciate clearly and emphasize keywords. 
→ Use stories to engage your audience emotionally. 
→ Vary your pitch, pacing, pauses to retain attention. 

3. How to feel confident: 

→ Warm up beforehand to get “in the zone”. 
→ Practice and create a positive feedback loop. 
→ Reframe nerves as excitement to share and help. 

Confidence isn’t putting on a “show”. 

Confidence is a state of being. 

Once you look, sound and feel confident on the inside, 
You become unforgettable anywhere you go. 

Follow me Nausheen to learn genuine confidence. 

♻️ Repost this so more people feel confident. 

P.S. Do you have any role models? Yes/No?

#1 mistake people make in high-stakes conversations: 

They don’t “own” the room. This is how to fix it: 

When you walk into a: 

- Raise negotiation 
- Pitch meeting with an investor 
- Or even a charged conversation with your in-laws 

You’re walking into a potentially dangerous situation. 

Best case you win. 
But worst case, you walk away feeling defeated. 

Most people focus on getting the words right. 

But here’s what actually makes the difference: 

Your “presence” in the room. 

→ How well you can read others. 
→ How you make others feel seen and heard. 
→ What you communicate with body language. 

I collaborated with my friend Andrea Petrone, the CEO’s leadership coach to share our best strategies. 

When you learn how to make your presence felt, 
You can turn losing battles into conquests. 

P.S. Had a tough conversation lately? Yes/no?

How to win high stakes conversations

This CEO was deathly scared of presentations. 

He now speaks like a top 1% communicator: 

Wes is an extraordinary leader: 

At 50, he left his tech job to become an entrepreneur. 

He had 30+ years of expertise in productivity. 

But he lacked the speaking skills to: 

→ Express his ideas with ease 
→ Make unforgettable first impressions 
→ Close the deal by proving his expertise 

In fact, he was so scared of speaking to an audience - 

That he would just freeze up. 

We worked together to get him unstuck. 

→ He now speaks on top podcasts. 
→ Does webinars for companies like Thinkific. 
→ Can speak without any scripts or preparation. 

Check out his amazing progress in this video - the first part took me by surprise.
