Cold outreach will always be a solid strategy if done right - with proper customization and nothing spammy. Obviously there are spaces where it works better but overall it's always going to be viable. Reaching out to people and getting involved on Reddit is still super underrated, especially if you keep finding the right subreddits, threads and comments. For that I recommend Surfkey.io by @johancutych

@johancutych @a_m4 Good comment! We never have been used Reddit, but I hear it a couple of times.. I will take a look πŸ‘€

Reluctant to choose "Absolutely yes!", but would say "Yeah.". Obviously, there are always other options, but I have found that (Cold) outreach works well well, as long as it is targeted. It makes no sense to try and sell something to someone who really has no use for what you're selling, but if you manage to find the right person at the right time, that can be a win for both of you.

@irina_haupt Exactly, the outreach doesn't work on the first day... You need to understand how to find the perfect people and have clear WHO is the perfect people. Once you have some experience selling with this action, it becomes easier

Would say most of our customers were from cold outreach for evoke-app.com What about you? How do you do cold outreach? For example, how do you pitch to your leads?
Luis Gustavo
@richard_gao2 We tried to find people using some of the tool related with our software, for example, ActiveCampaign or Segment.. Only with this, we can know if this person could use our solution. Also, we could think in their business model. At the time to make the pitch, we tried to find something in common with our solution, to create the opportunity to have a real conversation about something, especially something related with our software. I will create a discussion talking about this. We grew WM (https://www.wildmail.io) until €78k MRR only with outreach and our partner program πŸ™‚

May I ask which channels you guys used for cold outreach?
Luis Gustavo
@ozan_yalcin1 Twitter (using the advanced search), Podcaster with often guests, LinkedIn, communities.. We explore all the channels and focus on the most successful results πŸ™‚. If you want, I can create a discussion about this later

Have you been struggling to close your first customers? Many entrepreneurs find it difficult to make the sales process a success, but the great news is that cold outreach can help! That's right: reaching out to people online or through email and introducing them to what you have to offer is a great way of establishing a connection with potential customers. Cold outreach is an effective means of showing people how your product or service can improve their lives, and it can be one of the keys to closing new customers. Nothing will get those deals over the line like making sure that potential customers know exactly what they stand to gain from working with you – so don't wait any longer, start hitting send and watch those sales roll in!
