OpenAI o3's price just dropped by 80%. 2 years ago, we paid OpenAI more than what customers were paying us. People said we don't have a business model. Fast forwarding, the price has dropped 100x and model is 50x b…

I booked 1000 meetings last week and this is how. Comment "script" and I'll send you a guide on how to find the low-hanging-fruit bathrooms.

Most outbound advice on LinkedIn comes straight out of a 2022 playbook. "Personalize more" "Shorter emails" "Fix your subject lines" None of it's wrong, it's just not enough anymore. We pulled the data on 2,000+ out…

This is how I'm booking 15-20 meetings a week using our own AI SDR at Coldreach (YC W23). Turns out, you just need a few cold email campaigns that are getting responses to fill your calendar. But that's not even the i…

Every week, I hear about teams that try to build their own AI SDR on top of Claude or ChatGPT, because an expert on LinkedIn convinced them that's the way to go in 2026. Most of them realize that's not working in <2 wee…

Marc Andreessen implied that if you can't pitch a VC, you can't sell to a customer. Great soundbite, but it also gets B2B sales backwards. VC fundraising and sales look similar from a distance... both involve cold outr…

AI has a maturity curve, and we've already watched it play out with software engineers over the last couple of years. In 2023, AI touched maybe 1% of our codebase at Coldreach (YC W23). In 2024, we had fun with Copilot,…

This email landed in my spam, which means Gmail knew it sucked before I did. It's 26 words, but gave me zero reason to actually reply. And the worst part? It follows a lot of the cold email best practices circulating o…

Everyone's asking if AI is going to replace BDRs. But when Anthropic is hiring someone to build and manage a team of 8-12 of them, that's the wrong question. Anthropic is the most AI-forward "enterprise" on the planet. 9…

There are two views on what the future of sales is going to look like. The first is the dystopian one where every sales role gets disrupted by AI to a massive degree. We're already seeing some of this. BDRs that aren't…

I take 15+ sales calls every week. Not because we don't have the pipeline to hire an AE. We do. Because I watched what happens when founders stop talking to customers. Even worse, I lived it. My last startup, a two-s…

Clay went from $2m to $100m ARR in two years. Insane growth, but I think there's a ceiling for that entire category. Let me explain - Clay built a narrative that outbound shouldn't be done by SDRs, but by a "GTM engin…

Ten years ago, the gold standard sales org looked like this. Ten BDRs. Two managers watching them. A director overseeing the whole thing. ZoomInfo seats to find the leads. Outreach licenses to email or call them. Sales…
