Cold outreach is hard because when someone replies, it may take months before you actually get deeper access to them. On a reply, you now need to figure out if they actually want to talk to you or if they are just being nice. To find out, you exchange messages, replying back in a way you think will get you to a call. This journey can take months (or years). This is the issue with “chat”. A reply doesn’t mean you have a deeper level of access, it just leads to false hope and a target that is always moving.

Really enjoying these bite size daily posts. Keep them coming!
They are dense enough where there is thoughtful information while still leaving room for the reader to think through their own solution or ideas extending beyond the short post.
