08:05 "Something you can do is actually record yourself pitching the sale to someone, playback the recording. And kind of like write down the bits and the pitch that sounds really really solid. Like oh s*** like two minutes in, you know, I really made a good point here. Write that down in an email, have a notes pad of all your one-liner pitches, and just perfect those."
09:27 "Earlier on in my outreach, something I found that by writing really solid cold emails. If I did it right, and we had a decent exchange, by the time we got on the phone, it didn't feel like a cold lead anymore. It actually felt like a warm lead like we had built up some rapport."
19:12 "I do think that there's an amount of thoughtfulness that goes into taking the time to crunch down your words, to cut the fat, and just get directly to the point. Not a lot of people wanna do it because they don't have that kind of time."
20:23 "I try to play a game where I highlight all the copy, look at what the word count is, and see if I can cut the fat by like 25%. Because the copy's always going to get better and you can always find 25% of the fat you can cut out. And I think generally speaking the copy's gonna get better if you do that."
21:31 "Make your subject lines close to ridiculous. Especially if it's a cold email where people are just getting smacked with dozens of cold emails every day. The last thing you want to do is to try and make the cold email sound 'sales-y."
