I spent the last 3 months sending out cold emails and getting almost no replies. A buddy of mine who runs a small ad agency in Portland told me to stop selling and start asking questions instead. I rewrote my emails to just offer a free tip or ask about their biggest problem, and my reply rate went from 2% to nearly 15% in two weeks. Has anyone else tried flipping their cold email strategy like this, or do you stick with a more direct pitch?
I'm tired of getting burned by shady Fiverr gigs and random outreach emails. Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid, reliable link building company that won't drain my entire marketing budget?
