A proposito di questo titolo

 In this episode of For Badass Entrepreneurs ONLY!, Dan Gordon sits down with Adam Rosen, founder of Email Outreach Company, to break down what actually works in cold email today. Adam explains why “cold email doesn’t work” unless you do the fundamentals correctly, and what A-through-Z really means in a world where Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft are tightening inbox rules. You’ll learn the biggest cold email mistakes, why links in first emails hurt deliverability, and how “spin tax” keeps outreach from looking like spam. Adam also shares a simple framework for high-converting copy, the surprising subject line that performs best, and a clever PS strategy that boosts replies while doing good in the world. If you want more meetings, better reply rates, and a cleaner approach to outreach, this episode is packed with practical, real-world guidance.

Five Badass Q&As
Q1: Is cold email dead?
A1: Cold email doesn’t work if you don’t know what you’re doing. But if you do the full setup properly, it can still deliver strong results today.
Q2: What are the biggest mistakes people make with cold email?
A2: Sending from a main domain, writing long emails with links, skipping personalization, using low-quality lists that bounce, and not using spin tax are common deal-breakers.
Q3: What is “spin tax” and why does it matter now?
A3: Spin tax randomizes parts of an email so each message looks slightly different, improving inbox placement. It’s now a must-have because providers are filtering mass emails more aggressively.
Q4: Should you include a link in the first cold email?
A4: No. Links increase spam risk. The better move is to ask a simple question first, then send the link after they reply.
Q5: What are the three essentials to run a successful cold email campaign?
A5: Solid infrastructure, a clear ideal customer and accurate lists, and high-converting copy that earns replies and meetings.
