Perfect hook for your email


Hey Reader,

Thanks for opening. To answer the question: It doesn't exist.

Stop obsessing over your subject lines.

I often see founders waste dozens of hours over the perfect subject line.
They prompt ChatGPT for the “perfect hook.” They tweak the adjectives.

It’s a waste of time.

If your cold emails aren’t converting, it is almost never a copywriting problem. It is a list building problem.

Founders focus 80% of their energy on the words (the 20% of the result) and ignore the list quality (the 80% of the result).

Here is the truth: A mediocre email sent to the exact right person at the right time beats Shakespeare sent to a generic list.

Relevancy > Copywriting. Always.

Here is the simple Playbook to fix your outreach today:

  1. Stop writing. Put down ChatGPT. Close the Google Doc. Stop trying to be clever.
  2. Tighten the ICP. Stop looking for “Marketing Managers.” Look for “Marketing Managers at Seed Stage SaaS companies using HubSpot who just hired a VP of Sales.” The difference is specificitity.
  3. Check the timing. Why them? Why now? Are they hiring? Did they just raise funds? Did they post about the specific problem you solve? If there is no trigger, there is no deal.
  4. Write the email. Now, you only need three sentences because the relevance does the selling for you. You don’t need to persuade them they have a problem; you just need to show up when they are already feeling it.

When the targeting is perfect, the copy writes itself.

Speak soon,

Hey Reader, Founders love to pitch an inevitable future. They see a clear shift in the market, build a product for that future, and launch. Then they get silent buyers and a dead pipeline. They assume the product is broken. Or the marketing is wrong. But the problem is usually much simpler: they are early. And in an early-stage startup, being ahead of your time is functionally indistinguishable from being wrong. A market can be directionally attractive and still be a terrible opportunity...

Hey Reader, In my last email, I broke down how Sam Altman’s relationship network literally purchased his first company's failure for millions. Most builders read that and thought: "Great, but I don't live in SF and I don't know any VCs." You are looking at networking all wrong. You don’t need billionaires. You need a net of adjacent peers who are 6 to 12 months ahead of you. If you want to know if your current network is there yet, here's a handy validator for ya: Look at your calendar for...

Hey Reader, Founders love the myth of the exceptional product. They believe Silicon Valley legends won because they built better software. Here is the reality. Sam Altman's first company, Loopt, had no real traction. It failed as a consumer product. It was acquired for millions anyway. Not because the tech was brilliant. Because Altman had well-connected VC relationships. When the app failed, his network caught him. The relationships were the infrastructure that literally purchased his...
