Why 200 Warm Emails Beat 2,000 Cold Ones?

ngl , blasting thousands of cold emails every week never really worked for us. reply rates barely moved, like 0.5–1% at best, even after tweaking subject lines, templates, or timing.

so we switched to emailing only people who had actually interacted with our site, read our content, or spent time on pricing pages. sent around 200/week instead of 2,000 and reply rates jumped to 15% almost immediately.

tbh, it still feels weird sending so few emails. my brain kept screaming more = more pipeline, but the results speak for themselves. way less work, way higher reply rate, and the pipeline actually improved. wish i’d figured this out years ago instead of burning through inboxes, domains, and mental energy.
