I’m still exploring ways to get business owners to respond to my emails. I’m not sure what the exact statistic is, but it probably works out to about one reply for every 25 or even 50 messages sent. One thing that consistently improves the odds, though, is making each email highly personalized—tailoring it to the owner’s background, their website, or specifics about their industry. This is just to give them that confidence that it’s not just another fishing attempt.

Emails definitely work, but its a complicated game these days. You're not going to get anywhere unless you optimize deliverability, leverage AI for list building, run workflow automations for data enrichment, etc etc shoot me a DM and i can share more
