Do you ever feel guilty for spamming?



It's me hi. I'm the problem it's me.


Anyone else feel guilty for making email and phones very difficult to use?


Over the past year as demand for SaaS has cratered it seems every company is doing the same thing. "If demand is cut in half then I guess we'll just send twice as many emails! Make twice as many calls! Send more LinkedIn connection requests!"


And as a result we're just seeing lower open rates, lower reply rates.


This is what half of my job has come to. Spamming.


Y'all cool with this?

Sometimes these posts make me more confident, every email start with "I" and gives me insight how to stand out more

Are you being directed for that doubling by your company,or you're just doing it just cuz others do!
I don't think it would be impactful enough, as long as they're being sent to the same prospects,I prefer sending 100 emails to 100 different prospects instead of sending the same 100 to only 50,just not to be junked.
Other way is to send a gentle reminder to the same sent email instead,try the Prospecting Threads by Gasty,they got very valuable insights!

Yeah, it's pretty unreal, this is why taking 5 minutes to personalize outreach and showing you give a shit, makes all the difference

Cause repeatedly saying "buy me" 1000x works.
