Cold Email in 2025: Dead or More Powerful Than Ever? 📩 watch the full 21-min video here

People keep asking me: Is cold email dead? My answer? Absolutely not—but the game has changed. In my interview on the 21st Century Entrepreneurship Podcast, I break down exactly why cold email still works better than ever—if you do it right.
My company books more meetings now than at any point in our history. But here’s the truth: if you’re sending cold emails like you did a year ago, you’re already failing. Google and Yahoo have cracked down, spam filters are brutal, and AI-generated junk floods inboxes. The winners? Those who adapt.
Here’s what works: multiple domains, sending fewer emails per inbox, and extreme personalization. And get this—the best-performing subject line we’ve tested across millions of emails is just “Hi [First Name]”. Simple, but deadly effective.
Cold email isn’t dead. Bad cold email is.
Key Takeaways:
- 🔥 Cold email still works—if you adapt: We’re booking more meetings than ever, despite tougher inbox rules (5:37).
- 📬 Avoid spam with the right setup: Use multiple domains, keep emails under 20 per inbox per day, and nail your backend settings (6:27).
- ✍️ The #1 subject line is shockingly simple: Just “Hi [First Name]” has outperformed every other option across millions of emails (7:22).
- 🤖 AI is raising the bar for cold email quality: If your outreach isn’t hyper-personalized and well-targeted, it’ll be ignored (8:20).
The Secret Weapon in Your Emails: Why P.S. Still Works in 2025 ✉️ read the full 4,500-word article here
Article published: January 20, 2025
Did you know that over 90% of readers scan the P.S. section before reading the rest of an email? In How to Use P.S. in Email: Should You Use It in Your Newsletter?, Designmodo uncovers why this overlooked detail could boost engagement, drive conversions, and make your emails stand out in crowded inboxes.
Originally a relic of handwritten letters, the postscript is now a secret weapon in digital marketing. Brands use it to reinforce key messages, add urgency, and even sneak in exclusive discounts. And when done right, a simple P.S. line can outperform the main body of an email.
But beware—misusing P.S. can make your emails look sloppy or desperate. The article breaks down best practices, real-world examples, and expert strategies to ensure your P.S. isn’t just an afterthought—but a game-changer.
Key Takeaways:
- 🔥 P.S. is the most-read part of an email: Studies show 90% of readers check the postscript first, making it prime real estate.
- 🎯 Use P.S. to drive action & urgency: Brands use it to tease offers, reinforce CTAs, and personalize engagement—without feeling pushy.
- 📝 P.P.S. can backfire if overused: Adding multiple postscripts can clutter your email, reducing effectiveness instead of boosting it.
- 🚀 Top brands strategically use P.S.: Apple, Figma, and Reddit leverage postscripts to increase engagement, evoke nostalgia, and create exclusivity.
My Last $.02
The inbox is not only where emails arrive—it’s where business happens, relationships are forged, and deals are sealed. But here’s the catch: most are still emailing as if it’s 2020.
The true MVPs? They’re the ones who are using AI to personalize at scale, scheduling emails to the minute, and snuck in some psychological nudges that trigger action (pro tip: P.S. isn’t an afterthought). If you’re genuinely interested in email marketing in 2025, it’s time to cut the experiments short and play the game the way it’s designed. Because the difference between triumph and obscurity? It’s one email away.
Until next time, happy emailing!
