Say what you want about this guy, he says some pretty relevant stuff sometimes.

I will emphasize the sometimes, but hey today's post from Josh Braun is pretty useful when writing emails or better wording for our pitches. IDK, is it just me?

U know what? I'm just gonna come out and say it:

Effective emails/cold pitches aren't a complex fucking science and they don't need to be analyzed and discussed ad nauseum. As if people write 500 page books about this shit. I'm tired.

Represent a good product, have common sense and be a normal person, you'll get interest. I promise.

The same folks that think emails are some mine-filled labyrinth that requires special sauce to navigate are the same ones that consistently lack common sense and self-awareness in everything they do.

Ain't that the truth. People who find communication extremely complex and difficult should stay 69 feet away from a sales career.

The no bullshit approach works over everything. Be real and don’t use tacky fucking pickup lines.

I’m glad someone said it.

The self promotion is so lame. Tips and tricks, great. What not to do, even better.

People who had semi success in sales will go on LinkedIn, lap up their own farts, and sniff that shit like it’s a Yankee candle.

people over complicate the shit out of cold emails. It really isn't that much of a science. It's like cold calling. Everyone thinks they need to have the perfect script, call the perfect people, etc. They spend so much time over thinking it that could have been spent actually doing it and getting in front of prospects. Know your product, know how to pitch it in 1-2 sentences, and you're golden.

this might be helpful to you, whats even better though is having something relevant, timely, and urgent to say that will improve that persons life, revenue, or goals

Bingo, at the end of the day if you can convey value they won't give a shit about the word "can". I'm not saying that those small word changes don't improve your message but it's not going to make or break an email.

Exactly. At the end of the day all the strategy in the world goes out the window if you can't do those basic things

I like his detached approach - It's quite effective and reduces initial friction.

I also like the way wording can be a game-changer - I always advise my reps to avoid the word cheap at all costs ~ instead use affordable. Devil's on the details.

I have no idea, that's the thing about Josh Braun I dislike, he's simply Mr obvious and a genius to whoever is just walking into a salesfloor for the first time.

Replace sometimes with rarely and I’d agree. This shot ain’t rocket science. It’s about doing the grunt work and taking all the bs and smiling through it all
