Hire someone to help you send cold email

Hello everyone,

This is a thought experiment for you to entertain. Since finance is really a numbers game, and sending cold email is the most crucial part of expanding networks. How much would you pay for someone else to help you send cold emails?

For me personally, I am willing to pay $1 for each cold email.

Yeah making mistake concerns me as well. Maybe structuring the pay as hourly rate would motivate them to be more careful?

 

Thanks! I will keep you posted. If this strategy works, it will probably change how people view relationship in banking, and potentially change the whole networking landscape.

 

Don't forget to ask to do favors for the people you cold email. The more personal the better. Some of my favorites are "where do your kids go to school? I can pick them up for you ;)" and "what is your address? I can clean your house while you are at work ;)". Always and I mean ALWAYS punctuate these requests with a wink emoji - it lets them know you care.

I can write my email for sure. But writing cold email does not help me grow either professionally or personally, which is the reason I don't want to do it myself.

 

I can sent out ~20 emails in an hour. Yes I have time to sent 200 or 400 emails, which will take me 10 to 20 hours. But I want to have contacts in every bank, in every department, in consulting firms etc. Doing so will probably need a large number of emails, perhaps 3000 or 5000. I don't think I have time for this, and I also don't want to just sending out emails all day.

 

You can pay me $1 per email, I'll whip up a short script to email every person on the fucking planet and you better have a damn big bank account.

It's actually pretty time consuming. You have to first find the contact on LinkedIn, make sure get their name and email address, their position, and copy that to your email template. I feel very dreadful after doing this for 3 hours. I'm willing to pay you if you actually want to help me.

 

This isn't a thought experiment. You can get a LOT of cold emails for that since Filipino virtual assistants are typically great and you pay like $3/hr.

Dude, it will work. How deep are you going? Are you having them research the people they're emailing and ask them shit about their dog and their ugly kid's soccer shit? Or just copy paste a bunch? If the latter, you can do that shit yourself quickly.. With the former, they will probably do a good job, but I still wouldn't trust them. What if some little grammatical slip they make on an email is what gets it deleted and that's the email that would have gotten you your goal had you done it yourself? Fun experiment though. Keep us posted.
