In “How Do I Create A Pitch Email For My Startup That Works,” Brett Fox unveils the secret sauce behind pitch emails that don’t get ghosted. Imagine: a cold email that not only lands in an investor’s inbox but compels them to respond. If you’re tired of hitting “send” into a void, Brett’s insights will flip the script.
He kicks things off by dissecting common email mistakes—like walls of text and overselling—that tank your chances faster than you can say “no reply.” His method? Precision and brevity. Brett then shares a cold email template that landed him meetings with over 30% of recipients. The best part? It’s about getting to the next step, not closing a deal on email one.
Stick around for Brett’s “one final thought”—it might just save you from blowing your next shot at VC funding.
Key Takeaways:
- ✂️ Cut the Clutter: Long, dense emails are a no-go. Keep paragraphs short, sentences crisp, and your email under one minute to read (02:25).
- 🎯 Don’t Oversell: The goal is a response, not a commitment. Focus on piquing interest, not closing a deal right out of the gate (03:11).
- 🧭 Be Direct About Your Business: Quickly explain what your company does and why it’s unique. Make it easy for investors to understand your value (04:42).
- 🤝 Gentle Asks Win: Skip the hard meeting request. A soft ask, like “Please let me know how you’d like to proceed,” works wonders (08:23).

I had the pleasure of joining John Casmon on “Multifamily Insights” to demystify the often misunderstood world of cold email. Let’s be real: cold emails have a reputation problem. But I’ve built a business—and helped others grow theirs—by making cold outreach a science, not spam. In this episode, I shared my journey, from landing Fortune 500 clients to closing deals for real estate developments, all thanks to thoughtful cold emailing.
It’s not about blasting generic messages; it’s about connecting with people in a way that resonates. I explained why building the right email infrastructure and using AI tools for hyper-personalization can transform cold emails into genuine opportunities. And yes, I even shared a simple framework to craft emails that don’t end up in the trash.
If you think cold emailing is a lost cause, let me change your mind.
Key Takeaways:
- ✉️ Be Thoughtful, Not Thoughtless: Sloppy emails kill your brand. Target wisely, use perfect grammar, and offer real value to your prospects (09:10).
- 🤖 Personalization at Scale Is Real: I revealed how we use AI tools like Clay.com to craft highly personalized messages, but at massive scale (12:08).
- 💡 Cold Emails Are Like Ads: Just like a good ad, a cold email needs brevity, relevance, and genuine intent to stand out and engage (10:05).
- 🏗️ Infrastructure Is Everything: I explained why we send from hundreds (sometimes thousands) of inboxes for clients to avoid spam traps and maximize reach (23:12).

In “Email Marketing Automation Framework For Beginners,” Daniel Stewart delivers a fast-paced breakdown of how to set up a basic, yet effective, email automation strategy. Perfect for anyone starting a Shopify store or running a newsletter, Daniel’s no-nonsense approach helps businesses stay connected with subscribers effortlessly.

He also emphasizes the power of surprise in lead magnet strategies, encouraging businesses to overdeliver and create deeper customer connections. It’s a must-watch for anyone serious about building lasting relationships through email marketing.

- 🎁 Lead Magnet Strategy: Surprise subscribers with unexpected value through lead magnets, creating loyalty and a sense of reciprocity (06:11).
- 🤝 One-to-One Connection: Treat every email like a personal conversation—whether for one subscriber or 10,000, personalization wins (05:19).

Every email is an opportunity to change your direction—whether that’s landing that investor meeting that redefines your startup or creating loyal connections with your audience. In a crowded inbox world, standing out is no longer a choice—it’s a necessity.
