I was wrong (and here's what I learned)

Hey there,
Div here. I know it's been a while - the Delhi summer has been intense, and I hope everyone in and around North India has been taking care of themselves.
Let's dive right in:
1. Tool Update: ReachInbox and Mailforge
Remember when I suggested ReachInbox? Well, after thorough testing, I've concluded it's not quite ready for prime-time cold emailing. The good news? If you bought it via AppSumo, you can get a refund within 60 days.
As for Mailforge, there's been some friction with Instantly. But don't worry, I've got a solution:
Salesforge.ai, owned by the Mailforge team, is an excellent alternative. Use coupon code INSTANTLY for a full month free trial!
Remember, competition in the industry keeps things healthy and innovative.
2. Business Updates
YouTube Consultation: Thriving! Working with clients in the lead gen space was the right thing to do - while also having white label clients on the side.
Lead Generation: We're evolving. To maintain quality, I'm now limiting each of my businesses to 5 clients at a time.
New additions to our Lead Gen offer:
• Branding on LinkedIn or Instagram (wherever your leads hang out)
• Connection requests/DMs during the 2-week warmup period
• A mix of hyper-personalized and mass outreach
• Quarterly goals of 10 leads a month with a refund guarantee
Feel free to use this offer model for your own business!
3. Coaching Offer
I've signed up two new coaching clients:
1. A Fiverr success story looking to expand into cold leads
2. A copywriter starting a lead gen agency
In our first call, we:
• Created a catchy business name
• Defined lead criteria
• Set up domains and email accounts
• Signed up for Salesforge
Both clients are making great progress!
I'm now looking for 2 more coaching clients. Whether you want to generate leads for your business or start a lead gen agency, I'm here to help.
Success Story:
Srestha says: "Div helped me set up my lead generation process. I closed one client for $1000 and another for $500. He was invaluable in conducting discovery calls and DM conversations with potential leads. Highly recommended for scaling your business!"
Ready to take your business to the next level?
Stay cool and keep hustling,
Div
P.S. Everyone who books a call gets a complimentary list of 1000 recently funded startups! Also, in my next email, I'll be sharing a fool-proof agreement template highlighting the essential clauses you need when signing new clients (learned from my own mistakes). Make sure to mark this email as primary so you don't miss out!
