“4-Pillars of Your Cold Email Pipeline”

Let me start with why we prioritized building Cold Pipeline.

Firstly, Cold LinkedIn outreach comes with a limitation of 100 invites a week per profile,

Which means 5000 invites per profile per year,

With 20% acceptance rate, that is 1000 prospects.

On average, we manage 3 profiles per client and that gives us 250 prospects a month

And to deliver more leads to our clients we wanted to crack cold emailing

With a lot of buzz around, we tried various email automation tools.

And it took some time of failures and struggles to identify the right tools,

But when this was happening, we pushed our limits and gained better grip with crafting the right messages.

And gradually the results started showing up.

Then we solved a big gap of Email Deliverability (check yesterday’s post for details about how we fought this monster),

And finally after weeks of grinding and failure and learning we realised that cold emailing is a game of -
📌 Solving Email Deliverability Issue
📌 Cracking the right Craft
📌 Getting the Best tool
📌 Quality Data (procurement + verification)

There should be no compromise on any of these.

We also connected with a lot of cold email folks (freelancers and small agencies),

But we still found some gaps in terms of what we expected,

And that is why we took all the 4 pillars of cold emailing seriously,

So when you plan a cold emailing campaign, get the right data and tool and set it up,

And verify emails without fail (preferably from two different tools),

Then ensure the right deliverability process,

And then keep working on your craft,

Be clear about your KPI (for us they are ‘open’ and ‘reply’ rates),

And until and unless you reach consistency levels,

Do not stop working on your 'craft' and 'deliverability'.

A timeline of 5-8 weeks is what it takes to succeed in cold emailing,

And remember, there is no ‘getting rich quick’ thing with cold emailing,

Because this could be your other gold mine (just like it is for PipeBagger and our SaaS partners)

So make sure there is a qualitative approach to everything, especially these 4 pillars,

Because a strong pillar system is what your cold emailing success needs.

Cold emailing did not only give us some high-ticket clients,

Cracking this also helped us build high-quality pipeline for our B2B tech partners,

So, take it on priority to make cold emailing your success.

Secret no. 2 of 'How we grew 7.5x': Email Deliverability

'Email Deliverability' came out as a highly underrated

and much overlooked (most of our clients weren't aware either),

part of cold emailing.

This is one of the crucial challenges where Shiva Dudigama really brought in some of his hustle to assure us of 90% deliverability.

Within 2 months, we started seeing serious leads coming in.

💥 More email open rates.

💥 More replies.

💥 More meetings booked.

I always measured cold emailing with 'email replies' as the ONLY KPI.

And now deliverability has become the biggest reason why the open rate for me is a serious KPI.

We tried various tools and Instantly.ai was our early winner,

followed by Reply.io becoming our recent favorite.

However, choosing an email tool is not more important than warming your emails for high deliverability,

which is why this is a huge shout-out to those who spend a lot of time in the automation part of cold emailing.

Chose the simplest to use cold emailing tool (eg: instantly),

and focus more on deliverability.

Because it is more important that your emails get delivered.

And also ensure you get quality source for list building + quality email verification tool.

If you ensure all three, you are only right craft away.

B2B Sales Lesson (hard-way): '01 / 31'

"Fear the ones who practice one thing 10,000 times"

In early 2022, we got this serious idea - to master ONE thing at a time.

And with the flood of Linkedin and Social media marketers (our competition),

we decided to stand out with 'Outbound DMs',

10,000 Meetings seemed like a distant dream.

But, we said - let's write 10,000 Outbound Messages (without copy-paste),

and the journey was very hard-hitting,

with less than 200 prospects accepting invites per profile, you can send only 2000 DMs a year, per profile.

This is how more team members at PipeBagger jumped in,

to build their personal brands and practice Cold Outreach on Linkedin.

With an average of 2-3 meetings a week per profile, we scored 400+ quality meetings FOR FREE,

WITHOUT hiring a sales rep.

👉 Outcome-1: A super-validated funnel to scale our B2B business.

👉 Outcome-2: On-boarded our first TWO High-ticket Clients, through this.

👉 Outcome-3: Closed our first client with 100% DM-only communication.

👉 Outcome-4: HUGE differentiation, compared to every other agency.

👉 Outcome-5: Set a strong culture of 'Social Selling', which changed us gradually.

Guess what? Our first strategy was to write 10,000 LinkedIn posts, and just before executing it,

we shifted to OUTBOUND DMs, because if we nail it, we will have a HUGE differentiation,

and a bigger problem solved for our customers.

💣 Super Fact: This success became a reason for us to create our Growth Benchmark - 💥 'Total Meetings Booked' 💥

Since 2022, we measure our Agency Growth by tracking 'Total Meetings Booked'.

In 2022, we booked 1400 meetings.

In 2023, we are already close to 5000 B2B meetings.

What are you deciding to practice 10,000 times in 2024?

Dear SaaS Founders!

Tired of the broken hiring practices that can't find truly exceptional talent in your SaaS?

Let us unveil a game-changing strategy that connects you with the rockstars who believe in your vision and are ready to invest themselves in your growing SaaS company. 🌟

🔗 The Broken State of Hiring in the SaaS Industry 🚫

Let's face it – traditional hiring methods have failed us. Job portals, resume databases, referrals, and even campus hiring often fall short when it comes to attracting the right talent. Skills can be taught, but true commitment and dedication cannot.

💡 Connect on a Human Level: Tap into True Talent 🤝

To find real rockstars for your growing SaaS company, it's essential to connect with talent on a human level. When you establish a personal connection and share your vision, you attract like-minded individuals who resonate with your mission. These are passionate, dedicated individuals who will invest their time, skills, and energy into propelling your company toward success.

🚀 Unlock the Power of Founder's Personal Branding 🌟

Your personal brand as a founder is the key to unlocking a treasure trove of exceptional talent. By cultivating a strong personal brand that reflects your values, expertise, and vision, you create a magnet that draws in high-relevant talent.

When individuals see themselves aligning with your goals and values, they are inspired to reach out and join your team when the timing is right for them or your organization.

🌐 Be Part of Something Meaningful: Connect and Conquer Together 🙌

People yearn to be part of a team where they can connect on many levels – professionally, personally, and philosophically. Your personal brand creates that bridge, allowing you to attract individuals who share similar aspirations, beliefs, and ambitions. Together, you can build something meaningful, driving your SaaS company towards unicorn status.

🌟 Genuine Talent: The Fuel for Unicorn Success 🚀

No SaaS company has ever achieved unicorn status without a genuine pool of talent dedicated to the product and the growth of the organization.

Skills are important, but it is the unwavering commitment and dedication that sets rockstars apart. By connecting with exceptional talent through your personal branding, you can assemble a team of individuals who will go above and beyond to turn your vision into reality.

Connect with rockstar talent at a human level, and witness the transformational impact on your growing SaaS company.

Remember, it's not just about skills – it's about finding individuals who believe in your vision and are ready to invest themselves in your success.

In the competitive B2B SaaS landscape, effectively communicating your value proposition is paramount.

That's where a High-Performance Engine comes in:

1️⃣ Simplify Complexity: We know how intricate your product is, with its advanced features and functionality. But explaining them solely through written content can be a struggle. With a High-Performance Engine, you can visually demonstrate your product's power, illustrating how it solves specific business challenges in a concise and clear manner.

2️⃣ Build Trust and Credibility: Trust is the foundation of successful B2B relationships. By incorporating customer testimonials, success stories, and case studies into your High-Performance Engine, you can showcase real people talking about the positive impact your solution has had on their business. This builds credibility and instills trust in potential clients.

3️⃣ Engage and Captivate: We all know the power of video content. A well-crafted High-Performance Engine with an engaging script, compelling visuals, and captivating storytelling will grab your audience's attention and keep them interested. This increased engagement improves message retention and boosts conversion rates.

4️⃣ Address Objections Head-On: With a High-Performance Engine, you have the opportunity to anticipate and tackle common objections your prospects might have. By including persuasive arguments and counterpoints in the video, you can proactively address concerns, instill confidence, and remove any doubts standing in the way of conversion.

5️⃣ Scale with Consistency: A High-Performance Engine ensures consistent messaging across your sales efforts. It provides a standardized way to present your value proposition, making sure every prospect receives the same compelling information about your product or service. Plus, a High-Performance Engine is easily shareable, allowing you to scale your sales efforts and reach a wider audience without compromising quality or consistency.

Ready to take your sales game to the next level? Incorporating a High-Performance Engine into your B2B SaaS sales strategy can be a game changer, helping you achieve that coveted $10M ARR milestone.

🎥💼 Let's discuss how a High-Performance Engine can amplify your value proposition, boost trust, engage prospects, overcome objections, and ensure consistent messaging.

Unlock why your buyers EAGERLY book meetings with a few reps,

but won't book a call with every sales rep that comes pitching them.

The secret is in this 'Social Selling Layering' strategy.

Which has been the backbone of the 3X growth at PipeBagger

How?

This layering strategy helped us book more meetings for our clients.

And grew our per-account revenue + helped us get more meetings with NEW clients.

During our high, we attended 39 meetings in 7 weeks, only representing PipeBagger.

This is excluding the inbound leads that we generate.

The reason why I look at '39' as big number is -

1. The prospects were more prepared to buy

2. Much fewer objections from prospects

3. Closed two deals over DMs/ Cold emails (directly jumped on kick-off call)

4. Average ticket size was over 2X than earlier

5. The 'no-show' ratio was much lower. Much much lower.

Also, the prospects who did not work with us, are not ghosting us either.

We can still go back to them. And check if they are still ready to re-evaluate us.

OR, get some references.

"Social Selling Layer + Unstoppable Funnel"

is the new godly weapon that PipeBagger is using in 2023 to generate $100 million worth SaaS Sales Pipeline.
