GojiBerry Cold Email System — Roman Czerny’s Playbook
Visual Flow + Step-by-Step Breakdown
The Core Philosophy
“The biggest mistake people make in cold email is they ask for demos. You’re sending an email to someone who doesn’t know you and you want to take their time. You’re asking before you give.”
“Ever since I discovered the blueprint thing, I’ve never asked for a demo in cold email ever again.”

The Blueprint Strategy — Why It’s Roman’s #1 Insight
Traditional cold email (what everyone does):
You → "Can I have 15 minutes of your time for a demo?"
Them → "No." (or ignore)
Problem: You’re asking a stranger to give you something (time) before you’ve given them anything.
Roman’s blueprint strategy:
You → "I made a guide on [topic]. Want me to send it?"
Them → "Yes." (low effort, high reward for them)
You → Send the guide. Inside: value + your product + booking link.
Them → If interested, they book a demo themselves.
Why it works: You’re giving first. They opted in. When they show up for the demo, they already want to buy.
The Customer Service Hack (Roman’s Secret Weapon)
“Instead of emailing the founder, we would email the customer service with a demo video and ask them to forward it to the CEO. They would almost always do it.”
Why this works:
- Customer service is trained to respond to every email → 100% reply rate
- They forward to the CEO → CEO sees your video
- Your email doesn’t go to spam → CS inboxes are clean
- You can do high volume this way
How to execute:
- Find the company’s customer service email (support@, help@, contact@)
- Send a short email: “Hi, I made a demo video showing how [product] can help [company]. Could you forward this to [CEO name]? Thanks!”
- Attach the video or a link to it
- CS forwards it → CEO watches → CEO books a call
Sunday Sending Strategy
“I send emails every day, even on Sunday. I get great response rate on Sunday because other people are not sending emails.”
The logic:
- Most people don’t send cold emails on weekends
- Your email is one of the few in their inbox
- Decision makers check email on Sunday to prepare for the week
- Less competition = higher visibility

The 3-Email Sequence Template
Email 1: The Offer
Subject: [Topic] blueprint
Hi [Name],
[1 line personalization — e.g., "Saw your comment on [post] about [topic]"]
I've put together a blueprint on how we [achieve specific result].
It covers [2-3 specific value props].
Would you like me to send it over?
Best,
[Your name]
Email 2: Follow-up (3 days later)
Subject: Re: [Topic] blueprint
Hi [Name],
Just checking in — did you see my previous email about the [blueprint name]?
Happy to send it over if you're interested.
Best,
[Your name]
Email 3: Last chance (5 days later)
Subject: Re: [Topic] blueprint
Hi [Name],
Last call on this — the blueprint is still available if you want it.
No pressure either way.
Best,
[Your name]
The Blueprint Document Structure
When someone says “yes,” send them a document like this:
- Cover page — Title: “[Topic] — Complete Playbook”
- Your story — Who you are, what you built, your results
- The strategy — Step-by-step breakdown (this is the value)
- Templates — Ready-to-use templates they can copy
- Demo video — Embedded video showing your product solving the problem
- Screenshots — Proof of results
- Social proof — Testimonials, logos, metrics
- CTA — “Start a free trial” + “Book a demo with me”
“When people arrive on a call after reading this document, they’ve decided to be here. They show up, they want to buy, they are interested. It changes everything.”
Key Metrics to Watch
| Metric | Roman’s Number | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Reply rate | 1.36% | 500 people/month responding |
| Demos booked | 8-12 per 200 leads | From LinkedIn outreach |
| Close rate | 60-70% | On demos from blueprint |
| Email volume | 6,000/day | At scale with 124 accounts |
| Cost per customer | ~$400 LTV | One customer pays for a month of infrastructure |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ❌ Asking for a demo → ✅ Offer a blueprint
- ❌ Links in first email → ✅ Text only, no links
- ❌ Open tracking enabled → ✅ Disable it (triggers spam)
- ❌ Sending too many per address → ✅ Max 30/address/day
- ❌ Using your main domain → ✅ Buy separate domains
- ❌ Sending HTML emails → ✅ Plain text only
- ❌ Targeting CEOs only → ✅ Also target customer service
- ❌ Changing campaigns weekly → ✅ Run the same one for months
- ❌ Trying to save money on inboxes → ✅ Invest in deliverability
- ❌ Only sending weekdays → ✅ Include Sundays
