How many cold emails did you send before you got your first customer? (alien.top)

I've sent 500+ cold emails at this point trying to sell my SaaS product and got only a handful of replies which didn't go anywhere. I'm wondering if it's just a numbers game and I need to keep sending more emails or if my product doesn't solve a problem for the audience I'm targeting. Interested to hear about your experiences!

Maybe do a video mail showing how your product can solve the problem you’re claiming it solves and make a legitimate bid for their business after the fact?

“You’re probably wondering blah blah blah and we have custom tailored a solution just for you, so you can increase/optimize/delegate/w.e. your operation. Here’s one way that we’ve helped many people scale and optimize their process……” QUICK clip of solving the problem, or a few testimonials of people using the tool and sharing how it helped them (can find the testers/reviews on LinkedIn within your target market).

Give those who test your tools a free 3-6 months of the tool and make an offer at the end of the clip like “use code HELPMENOW within 24 hours of receiving this email for an unbeatable price on our tool.”

Idk just need to get creative with what you’re doing.
