Cold Outreach
Send cold messages that sound human — targeting, framing, and drafting using the party-greeting method, not templates
When to use this
- — You need to reach a stranger — customer, mentor, partner, or investor
- — You wrote a cold message and want honest feedback before sending
- — You need to figure out who to contact before you write anything
- — You want to rewrite outreach that isn't getting replies
- — Someone replied to your cold outreach and you're not sure how to follow up
What you provide
- — For draft review: your message as-is
- — For new outreach: who you want to reach, why, and context about your product
- — For targeting: what you're building and who you think should use it
What you get back
- — For writing: a message drafted as a genuine conversation using the party-greeting framework
- — For review: a "would I reply to this while busy?" assessment with specific cuts
- — For targeting: who to reach first and the funnel math showing why 5 direct conversations beat 1,000 impressions
- — For follow-up: how to close the loop fast and turn a reply into an ongoing relationship
