Booking $13 billion company Grammarly for a client at Spring Drive.

Cold outbound.


We spend most of our time with clients on competitive differentiation, not automation (we do that too, its just not the point lol).

That's why we *resonate* for them with prospects, rather than saying the same thing as everyone else.

And actually generate meaningful pipeline.

Not...

"Just saw your got funded, here at Generic .ai we're flipping the script on..."


Only Becc Holland can flip the script (she is brilliant btw check her stuff out).


For everyone else there's Spring Drive.

Actually there's a few other great agencies too, not just us.

But if you do want to work with us, you can apply for a pilot at springdrive.co.


Or don't, do whatever you wanna do.

Mohan Muthoo

Getting replies like this reminds us that we're putting out strong positions for our clients at Spring Drive.


Especially knowing the end stats add up too (getting 20-30 leads a day for this client).

But again, its a reminder that most saturation is around messaging not channels.

Before you move on to another channel, ask someone who works on your channel for a living what they think of your campaign.

8/10 times, mistakes are being made that, if corrected, would well actually start reaping success.


Cold email is just another channel and everyone reads their emails.

Don't forget it.

Something I've been noticing more and more lately - the teams that are crushing outbound aren't necessarily better at writing emails or picking better leads.

They're just better at operating.

They've figured out how to monitor campaigns, swap what's not working, keep mailboxes healthy, and follow up at the right time, without it eating their entire day.

That's partly why what Smartlead just released with SmartAgents caught my attention.

I've been playing around with it and there are a few things that stood out:

1. There's a campaign optimizer agent that monitors all my active campaigns every 6 hours. If reply rates dip below 4% after enough sends, it swaps out underperforming mailboxes, and shifts send times.

2. A mailbox health agent that tracks domain health, figures out when I need new ones, buys them from SmartSender, and sets up warmup. 

3. A meeting booking agent that catches intent in replies, books through Calendly, drops prep notes into HubSpot, and pings me on Slack. That whole flow used to be 4-5 manual steps.

What I like is how you build them too. no code, no complex workflow builders. You describe what you want the agent to do in plain language and it deploys. That matters for teams that don't have a technical ops person.

You still need to review, tweak, and make the actual decisions. But the repetitive operational stuff that eats up a few hours a day? That's where these are useful.

Worth looking at if you're running any kind of volume:

Building unstoppable pipelines | Get free sales opportunities with our no-cost, no-risk pilot campaign | Founder @ C17 Lab

Most outbound agencies take your money and deliver nothing - zero meetings, zero learnings.

I do the opposite - you see results before you pay a dollar.

I launched Square in France and was the top growth performer at Booking.com for two consecutive years, driving over $50M in GMV. After realizing I could earn more by owning even 1% of the value I created, I started C17 Lab, the first revenue engineering firm focused on outbound-led growth.​

Who I help

You’ve built a solid business through paid media, inbound, and referrals, but growth has plateaued.
You know outbound can work - you’ve seen others scale with it - but every agency you’ve tried delivered excuses instead of pipeline. Maybe you tried DIY outbound and ran into technical complexity, deliverability issues, or data problems. You’re done with the “trust us, it takes 6 months” narrative.

How I help

C17 Lab engineers outbound systems that consistently generate pipeline for:

1. Manufacturers
2. B2B SaaS selling into traditional industries
3. Professional services firms doing $2M+ in annual revenue

My team of GTM engineers and SDRs will run a free pilot campaign that books you 3-4 qualified meetings. No payment required.

If we can generate pipeline when we barely know your business, imagine what happens once we deeply understand your product and market.

Marketers call it an investment.

CFOs call it an expense.

And when money gets tight, the CFO wins.

Marketing gets paused. And then this happens:

Weeks 1-4: "See? Nothing's changed."
Weeks 5-8: "Hmm. Calendar's looking a bit thin."
Weeks 9-12: "Where did the leads go?"
Week 13: "Turn it back on. Everything. Now."
Weeks 14-20: Spending money to fix the money they were trying to save.

Congratulations. You just ran the most expensive experiment in your business.

The result? You proved that turning it off was a bad idea.

You didn't save money.
You just paid twice.

You could have just... not turned it off.

The real issue isn't budget.

Marketing isn't a Netflix subscription you cancel when you're not watching.

You can't pause what took 6 months to build and expect it to restart in a week.

The CFO sees a line item.

The marketer sees a system.

The founder sees both and cuts the wrong one anyway.

Don't be that founder.

Skipping strategy and going straight to execution is a fast way to fail in business. 

That's why so many companies have an inconsistent pipeline. 

So they hire more SDRs, switch tools, and rewrite the copy. 

None of it works because the foundations aren't in place. 

Instead, follow this flow: 

1. Define the target
→ Start with a revenue goal
→ Get specific on who you sell to
→ Pick the metrics that actually tell you if it's working

This is a founder decision, not something to delegate on day one.

2. Understand the buyer
→ Talk to recent customers
→ Go back through deals you lost
→ Find the pattern of why people say yes or no

It's already there. You just haven't looked for it yet.

3. Study the competition
→ How are competitors positioning themselves?
→ What are they charging?
→ Where are they weak?

Most companies skip this and end up sounding the same as everyone else.

4. Build a strong offer
→ Define the result you actually deliver
→ Keep the scope tight
→ Price it based on the value it creates

A bad offer doesn't get fixed by better copy or more sends.

5. Align before you launch
→ Who you're targeting
→ What you're offering
→ How you're talking about it

Founder, marketing, and sales need to agree on all three before execution starts. If they don't, you're wasting time and budget.

6. Build the GTM plan
→ Choose your channels
→ Set weekly activity targets
→ Define what a qualified lead looks like in writing
→ Track pipeline in one report everyone can see

Before any campaign goes live, verify your contact data. Dirty lists destroy deliverability and lead to wasted efforts. 

We use BetterContact, a data enrichment tool that cross-checks 20+ data sources to find and provide you with the most accurate contact information. You only pay for verified data.

7. Run marketing
→ Cold email, cold calling, content
→ Measure what's driving replies and meetings
→ Cut what isn't

8. Run sales
→ Train the team on the offer before they're on calls
→ Qualify hard and early
→ Review close rates every week, not every quarter

9. Retain and expand
→ Get results in front of the customer fast
→ Track their outcomes
→ The best upsell opportunity is a client who's already seen ROI

Most companies jump straight to marketing and sales.

Missing steps 1 through 5 is why steps 7 and 8 never convert.

We build this end to end at C17 Lab.

Follow Enzo Carasso 🧲 for frameworks that work.

Our client just fired us.

Not because we weren't getting results... 

Because they can't keep up with the leads we're sending.

Their exact words: "We have far more demand than we can handle right now."

This is what happens when you build outbound correctly.

Most companies pause agencies because:

❌ Reply rates drop
❌ Leads don't qualify
❌ Nothing converts

We paused because their sales team is drowning in qualified meetings.

The system:

We rebuilt their offer from scratch.

Cold audiences don't respond to the same value prop that works for inbound. 

So we designed something specific for people who've never heard of them.

Then we built the infrastructure to send volume without breaking:

→ Email deliverability that holds at scale
→ Cold calling workflows that don't rely on one rep
→ Data systems that keep campaigns running when lists run dry

Most agencies test at low volume and call it done.

We built for scale from day one. 

Result: quality leads filling their calendar faster than they can work them.

If demand outpaces capacity → your outbound worked.

Most companies never get there.

Cold emails not getting results?

Here’s 7 ways to 10x your performance.

1/ Strengthen the Offer
→ Low reply rates are often a result of weak offers.
→ Lead with a measurable outcome tied to a real problem.
→ If your prospect can’t picture the result in 10 seconds, it’s not strong enough.

2/ Narrow Your ICP
→ Tighter targeting = cleaner replies.
→ Use revenue range, role, and intent signals.
→ Broad ICPs dilute your message before it lands.

3/ Improve Data Accuracy
→ Bad data kills deliverability before you start.
→ Verify emails and phone numbers before launching a campaign.
→ Clean data means you actually reach the right inbox.

We use BetterContact, a data enrichment tool that cross-checks 20+ data sources to find and provide you with the most accurate emails and phone numbers.

4/ Write Direct, Specific Emails
→ One problem. One outcome. One next step.
→ If your email could apply to any company, it’s not strong enough.
→ No generic statements. Be specific about the pain you’re solving.

5/ Increase Speed to Respond
→ An MIT study found responding in 5 minutes vs. 30 minutes = 21x better qualification.
→ Slow response = lost deals.

6/ Qualify Before Booking
→ Not every reply deserves a meeting.
→ Qualify role, urgency, budget, and authority before you book.
→ Unqualified meetings tank your close rate.

7/ Build Infrastructure for Scale
→ Warm domains. Multi-touch sequences. Reply workflows.
→ If your system breaks when you increase volume, you can’t rely on it.
→ Performance improves when infrastructure can handle pressure.

7 Ways to 10 X Your Cold Email Results

You have 50 warm leads in your CRM.

How many have you actually called?

You know you need to call them.

You've known for 2 weeks.

The phone sits there.

You know how it works.

But first you need to:

- Rewrite that subject line one more time
- Watch one more video on "tonality"
- Reorganize your CRM by industry (very important)
- Make another coffee
- Check LinkedIn
- Suddenly remember you need to update your email signature

You're not avoiding, you're "optimizing."

Anything except dialing.

Congrats. Your leads are still sitting there.

Meanwhile, someone less qualified than you called them yesterday and booked the meeting.

Cold calling sucks.

Until it doesn't.

→ Call 1: You sound like a hostage reading a ransom note.
→ Call 10: You're still bad, but faster.
→ Call 100: You stop caring and start qualifying. It works.

The fear is worse than the rejection.

Prospects don't care if your voice cracks.

They care if you're wasting 30 seconds of their day or solving a real problem.

The math is simple:

100 emails = 10 replies.
10 calls to those replies = 8 conversations that move forward.

Email finds them.
Calling qualifies them.

One without the other is leaving pipeline on the table.

Your warm leads aren't getting warmer.

Call them today.

Or don't, and watch your competitor close them.

At C17 Lab, we run cold email at volume and turn replies into pipeline.

Follow Enzo Carasso 🧲 for more cold outbound reality checks.

I've sent 13M+ cold emails for manufacturers and professional services companies last year.

Most teams optimize messaging. 

Almost nobody optimizes the foundations:

1/ Offer Design
→ If your offer needs a 30-minute call to make sense, it's a pitch deck.
→ Buyers should know what they're getting in 10 seconds.
→ If you're explaining value on the discovery call, your outbound was already dead.

2/ Market Selection
→ Precision is useless if you're precise about the wrong people.
→ Don't build perfect lists of people who need 6 approvals and 9 months to close.
→ Outbound works when buyers have budget pressure and a reason to move now.

3/Control Systems
→ Most teams let every reply become a meeting.
→ Build gates that separate interest from intent.
→ Remove bad fits before they reach sales.
→ Make access something prospects earn, not something you give away.

Without control systems, everything falls apart:

→ Bad fits flood the calendar
→ Sales gets buried in junk meetings
→ Qualification rates tank

Volume doesn't fix a broken system.

It just breaks it faster.

Build the gates first 
→ Prove the filter works 
→ Then scale.

The hardest part of outbound isn't the copy.

It's building infrastructure that survives contact with reality.

Follow Enzo Carasso 🧲 for more on building GTM systems that actually work.

You're writing cold emails wrong.

Actually, you shouldn't be writing them at all yet.

Most founders start with copy. 

They workshop subject lines or hire agencies to "fix the messaging."

Then they send volume and get nothing.

The problem isn't the email.
It's the approach. 

Here's what to do instead: 

1/ Craft an irresistible outbound offer

→ Not your pitch. Not your product description.
→ An offer built for cold audiences.
→ Valuable enough that saying yes feels like a must. 

2/ Select an ICP where the economics make sense

→ If your LTV is under $7K, outbound economics break fast.
→ Long cycles and low close rates will kill you.
→ Pick accounts where a single deal justifies the effort.

3/ Design value that lands before the meeting

→ Most outbound promises value during the call. That's too late.
→ Deliver insight, analysis, or something tangible upfront.
→ Make the meeting a continuation, not a starting point.

4/ Package it into a simple outbound message

→ Now you write the email.
→ You're explaining what you're sending and why it matters.
→ Keep it clear. Then send it.

5/ Review for clarity, then send at volume

→ Read it once. Cut anything that doesn't support the offer.
→ Then scale it.
→ Volume shows what holds up.

Outbound isn't a copywriting problem.

It's an offer design problem that gets tested at scale.

Follow Enzo Carasso 🧲 for outbound systems that actually work at volume.

Sending more emails won't fix your outbound.

Engineering a reliable system will.

The gap between random outbound and systemized outbound:

When outbound runs on random instinct:

❌ Every drop in replies → new tool purchase
❌ Every slow month → "let's try cold calling too"
❌ Every campaign → complete restart, not an iteration

You're not building a system. You're collecting tactics.

When outbound runs on systemized infrastructure:

✅ You know exactly who converts and why
✅ Your offer is designed for cold audiences
✅ Your deliverability survives at scale, not just the first 1,000 sends
✅ Your sequences educate before they ask for time
✅ Your pipeline data shows what's breaking before revenue does

The difference isn't effort.

It's whether you're optimizing campaigns or engineering outcomes.

If you rebuild your outbound every quarter, you don't have a tactic problem.

You have an infrastructure problem.

Systemized outbound is built to scale from day one.

Repost for someone rebuilding their outbound right now.

Follow Enzo Carasso 🧲 for outbound that's built with infrastructure, not guesswork.

Three reasons your outbound efforts are failing you: 

1. Volume.
2. Validity.
3. Value.

Volume 
→ Not reaching out to enough people.
→ Infrastructure is broken or never built for scale.

Validity 
→ Not reaching out to the right prospects.
→ Your list is filled with accounts that can't or won't buy.

Value 
→ Not providing enough value upfront.
→ The offer doesn't give them a reason to respond.

When any of these break, the system stalls.

Here's how to build a reliable outbound system that keeps all three working: 

1/ Define the core problem
If the problem isn’t obvious, buyers hesitate.
When hesitation appears, everything downstream slows.

2/ Lock the target market
A tight ICP creates focus.
It also removes accounts that were never going to buy.

3/ Analyze demand and competition
You need to know what buyers already believe.
And where existing options fail to deliver.

4/ Set positioning and messaging
Good messaging doesn’t persuade.
It makes the decision obvious.

5/ Map the buyer journey
Every step should reduce friction.
Confusion and effort stall decisions faster than price.

6/ Choose distribution channels
Channels must be controllable and measurable.
If you can’t diagnose them, you can’t scale them.

7/ Design the sales motion
Sales should match how buyers assess risk.
Not how the team prefers to sell.

8/ Define metrics that matter
Activity shows motion.
Pipeline and revenue show control.

9/ Review and iterate
What works early will break at scale.
GTM only holds when it’s revisited consistently.

Most teams skip the early steps and try to compensate later.

The teams that scale do the opposite.

They build the system first.

Then they turn up volume.

I've sent millions of cold emails.

The teams that fail all waste energy on the same variables.

How most teams operate:

→ 50% writing and rewriting cold emails
→ 30% tweaking copy and subject lines
→ 20% asking for meetings

You're optimizing for precision in a commodity offer.

Better copy won't fix a broken system.

What Actually Drives Results:

1. Offer design for cold audiences
If it requires explanation, it's not built for outbound.
Your value prop should make sense to someone who's never heard of you.

2. ICP based on economics
Pick targets based on LTV, buying power, and deal size.
$8K average deal with $3K CAC = No room for error.

3. Deliverability infrastructure
Your copy doesn't matter if emails never reach the inbox.
Domain health and sender reputation are the foundation.

4. Systems built for volume
500 emails works. 5,000 breaks everything.
Manual intervention = you built a job, not a system.

5. Outbound as qualification, not persuasion
Meetings confirm fit, they don't create it.
Filter for intent before you book the call.

6. Meetings that convert
Show rate means nothing if deals don't close.
Optimize for quality, not quantity.

Outbound fails when teams treat it like just a copy problem.

Most B2B strategies aren't bad.

They're just incomplete.

Doing the basics gets you started. 

Going beyond them is what builds a pipeline you can actually rely on.

Four areas. Benchmark yourself honestly:

1/ Offer & Market Fit

Good → You have a pitch that makes sense to people already familiar with the problem.

Better → You've narrowed it down to one segment and one painful, costly problem.

Best → Cole prospects respond without needing context or a follow-up explanation.

2/ Outbound Execution

Good → You have activity. Emails going out, calls being made.

Better → That activity is converting into meetings with people who actually fit.

Best → You can dial up pipeline whenever you need it without degrading your infrastructure.

3/ Sales Alignment

Good → Your reps know what they're selling and chase every lead.

Better → They spend their time on the right opportunities because bad fits are filtered early.

Best → The handoff from outbound to close is a system, not a hope. Leaks get fixed in real time.

4/ Infrastructure & Economics

Good → You know what you're spending to acquire a customer.

Better → You understand the full cost and what each customer is actually worth over time.

Best → You've built for pressure. More volume doesn't break what you've built.

------

Most companies are sitting at "good" across all four.

Good keeps the lights on. It won't build something worth owning.

Your targeting is fine. Your messaging is fine.

So why aren't you getting sales?

The problem is probably your offer. 

Alex Hormozi's book, $100M Offers, breaks down how to craft an offer too good to say no to. 

1/ Find a Starving Crowd
Pick problems people are already paying to fix. 
If demand doesn't exist, you're looking in the wrong place. 

2/ Build the Value Equation
Increase the dream outcome. Add proof and guarantees. 
Shorten time to results. Remove friction from the experience.

3/ Stack the Offer
Bonuses aren't features. They're answers to hesitations. 
Each component should solve a pain someone is dealing with. 
Anchor the price to a high-value outcome.

4/ Deliver on the Promise
The offer gets them to buy. Execution keeps them. 
Standardize delivery and track outcomes, not activity.

The strongest offers don't compete on price.

They remove price as a variable entirely.

What most people get wrong:

→ They add features instead of removing objections
→ They promise outcomes instead of engineering likelihood
→ They optimize messaging instead of fixing the core offer
→ They focus on tactics instead of the value equation

If the offer is weak, no amount of marketing can save it.

If the offer is strong, everything else gets easier.

Repost to help others build stronger offers. 

Follow Enzo Carasso 🧲 for what works in outbound at scale.

Sending the same message to everyone is not a strategy. 

It's a way to look busy while nothing converts.

If you're doing this, you're not marketing. 

You're guessing. 

And guessing is expensive.

Here's how to actually reach your audience and get them to buy:

1. Lock in a real ICP
➔ "Anyone who could buy" is not a target. It's a list.
➔ Get specific: industry, revenue, LTV, team size, sales capacity.
➔ The tighter the profile, the easier everything else becomes.

2. Build an offer designed for that person
➔ Most people copy-paste their inbound pitch into a cold email. It doesn't work.
➔ Cold audiences need an offer that removes risk and delivers value upfront.
➔ If they have no reason to respond, they won't.

3. Get accurate data
➔ Bad data kills campaigns before they start.
➔ Wrong emails, outdated titles, dead companies - all wasted effort.
➔ Clean data means your message actually reaches the right person.

We use to validate contacts before anything gets sent. It finds and verifies emails and mobile numbers across 20+ data sources. You only pay for accurate data.

4. Get in front of them with cold email and SMS
➔ Once the ICP and offer are set, execution is straightforward.
➔ Cold email and SMS, sequenced correctly, to the right person.
➔ That's what fills a pipeline.

5. Qualify hard and book meetings that matter
➔ A reply is not a win. A qualified meeting is.
➔ We focus on ICP-fit meetings, not raw response rates.
➔ If they don't fit, they don't move forward.

Most outbound fails before a single message is sent. 

The work happens in steps 1 and 2. 

Get those right and the rest takes care of itself.

Repost to help your network with their ICPs

Follow Enzo Carasso 🧲 to build outbound that knows exactly who it's targeting.

Cialdini spent years studying why people say yes. 

The answer wasn't logic or price...
It wasn't even the product...

It was psychological triggers people don't realize they're responding to. 

That's the entire premise of Influence. This book should be required reading.

Influence = Psychological Trigger × Context → Automatic Response

📋 The 6 principles behind every buying decision:

Reciprocity
↳ Value delivered before the ask creates pressure without a word being said.
↳ The gesture doesn't need to be big. It needs to be unexpected.
↳ Debt is uncomfortable. People move to resolve it.

Give something useful before you ask for anything. A relevant insight, a data point, a free resource. 

The ask lands differently when there's already something on the table.

Commitment & Consistency
↳ People protect the version of themselves they've already agreed to.
↳ A small yes today makes the next yes easier to justify.
↳ You're not changing their mind. You're letting them change it for you.

Get small yeses early. Written commitments stick harder than verbal ones. Public commitments stick hardest of all.

Social Proof
↳ Uncertainty makes people look outward.
↳ The more similar the reference point, the stronger the pull.
↳ Numbers help. But a case study from someone who looks like your prospect helps more.

Put proof where doubt lives in the conversation. 
If your prospect is a manufacturer, show them a manufacturer. 

Same industry, same problem, same desired result.

Liking
↳ People say yes to people they like.
↳ You don't need to be their friend, just don't feel like a stranger.
↳ Lower the resistance, and the logic becomes easier to accept.

Find real common ground before you pitch anything. 
Mirror their tone. Use "we" over "I" where you can.

Authority
↳ Perceived expertise reduces pushback.
↳ Authority is signaled before you make a single argument.
↳ Most people defer to whoever sounds most certain.

State your track record early. Lead with structure. 
Even the background on your video call signals whether you're worth listening to.

Scarcity
↳ Fear of loss moves people faster than the promise of gain.
↳ Real limits create urgency. Fake ones destroy trust.
↳ What might disappear feels more valuable than what's always available.

Be honest about capacity. Emphasize what a prospect stands to lose by waiting, not just what they gain by moving forward.

The gap between a deal that closes and one that stalls often has nothing to do with your offer. 

It's whether you understood which trigger to pull and when.

Read Influence. Then go back and audit every sales conversation you're having.
