Let me help you to reach out local businesses with cold emails to check if they are willing to support you. I have a cold email SaaS called Nureply and your situation can be a great case study for us.
I am dogfooding the tool I made for cold emails cold Nureply. Basically it helps me to do marketing for Nureply by using Nureply.
I am mostly a technical person and not the best for selling/marketing. So I built Nureply to help me meet with potential customers and learn from them directly.
Saying illegal doesn’t make a product illegal. We are getting this statement a lot but still nobody can prove it.
Also, what is immoral? How are you so sure we are doing something immoral?
Employees are feeling great and more hyped than I am about the product. They see the value behind what we are doing. When a small business owner from a small country sends you a thank you message, we all want to work on our product more.
We are getting endless messages from small businesses around the world for showing their gratitude. Most of them have great product or service they want to sell and not good at copywriting. They don’t have enough money to hire someone to chase customers/clients but by using our product, they can finally sell their goods and start a business relationship.
We are not getting any contact information from the web. We are just checking their public social profile and website. Where in the GDPR or any similar law this is illegal?
Customer brings their own data. For example, one of my customers got this data from their embassy. They collected the data from companies who wants to buy specific type of material but couldn’t find someone to sell to them. They left their contact information and 100s of other companies followed this. As a result, my customer have 1000s of contact data, which are given with consent, waiting to be contacted.
This customer mentioned above just started their business and their product is awesome but have nobody to reach out those people. Our product fills this hole.
I understand your hate towards what you don’t understand but world is not about just EU or US. We are not breaking the law any means but if you think we do, I want you to prove it so we can fix it.
We were already using LLM’s at https://nureply.com for creating personalization for cold emails but GPT-4 enables us to create more specific and engaging icebreakers for our users.
Challenge comes in pricing and getting a good result. Generally longer the prompt, better the results but you have to adjust accordingly.
Also, generally using only GPT-4 doesn’t make sense. Mix and match between 2 different models make sense. (e.g. data extraction can be done with GPT-3.5 but writing a good email should be done with GPT-4)
Wrong email address is never counted towards to replies. The rest is correct but if you are getting that much reply with just “stop emailing”, probably there is a targeting problem.
The replies I have mentioned in the article is almost all of them are positive replies.
I was using regular NodeJS server on EC2 or similar services from cloud providers and wanted learn Serverless because at the peak times I was struggling to manage servers for https://nureply.com.
It turned out great and I am almost paying nothing. It is a bit slow if there are no active users but at the peak times there is no cold starts and comparable to regular Ubuntu server.
Vendor lock in is true but I can copy paste a lot of code to make it a regular server again.
Also there are limitations for long running tasks but for these kind of tasks I can create a thin server.
So far it is doing well and enjoying not doing any devops so far.
