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.

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.

Helping eCom brands maximize profit & retention | Worked with 15+ brands in more than 5 different countries

I scale 6-9-figure eCom brands through email & SMS marketing.

In the past 2,5 years alone, my team & I have been responsible for the success of MessyWeekend, Møbelkompagniet, Street Bill, ASARAI, Pitaya, Meotine, and 45+ other brands’ email setup.

Today’s email space is filled with “email gurus” showing off screenshots of their Klaviyo attributed revenue and stating they’ve done wonders.

In reality, everyone and their grandma can increase the amount of weekly campaigns, give every subscriber a discount and increase their email revenue.

See, actual profitable growth is not necessarily about ever-increasing attributed revenue, but rather being able to build a full customer journey map and cover every funnel of a brand, work around product margins to increase profitability, honing in on deliverability to increase KPI’s that matter, and so much more.

The things my team & I focus on at SB Digital is exactly this, which in the end is; optimizing for profitability, not revenue.

Some of the results we’ve gotten so far for individual brands include:

MessyWeekend (first 3 months):

➡️ Avg. overall bounce rate: 0,21% - 0,081% (+61,2%)
➡️ Avg. campaign open rate: 28,06% - 48,8% (+72,5%)
➡️ Avg. revenue per recipient: 0,11DKK - 0,20DKK (+82%)
➡️ Overall deliverability score: 46 (in April) - 85 (in July) (+85%)
➡️ Overall campaign revenue (whilst sending to a smaller segment): 24,63% - 31,58% (+28,2%)

Giomi (within 6,5 months):

➡️ Avg. campaign open rate: 34,1% - 49% (+43,69%)
➡️ Avg. returning customer rate: 42,93% - 50,23% (+17%)
➡️ Welcome sign up form submit rate: 2,79% - 8,92% (+219,7%)
➡️ Avg. monthly email revenue: €1.662 (8,25% of revenue) - €8.514 (42,1% of revenue) (+410%)

Pitaya (within 4 months):

➡️ Unsubscribe rate: 0,71% - 0,42% (+41%)
➡️ Avg. campaign open rate: 43% - 67,2% (+56%)
➡️ Revenue per recipient: 0,09DKK - 0,83DKK (+822%)
➡️ Avg. monthly email revenue: €3.502 - €55.084 (+1.472%)

...and the list goes on.

Does achieving more bottom line revenue, increased customer lifetime value and average order value, which in the end also decreases your customer acquisition costs (CAC) long term—sound like something you'd explore for your brand?

Send me a DM—I'll happily do a full audit of your current email setup, for free.
