GrowReach Cold Email Blueprint Strategy

Based on Roman Czerny’s GojiBerry Playbook

The Core Strategy

Roman’s cold email system works because it gives before it asks. Instead of emailing strangers and asking for a demo (which they’ll ignore), you email them offering a valuable blueprint. When they say “yes,” you send them a document that:

  1. Teaches them the manual method (pure value — 80% of the document)
  2. Shows them how your product automates it (10% — embedded naturally)
  3. Gives them a choice to try your product or book a demo (10% CTA)

“We’ve changed the thing from outreach to inbound. It’s people who decided after reading this document to book a demo with us. When you arrive on a call with these people, they’ve decided to be here. They show up, they want to buy, they are interested.”

“Most of the people they don’t book a call, they just go to the website and try with a free trial.”

The Blueprint: “The AI Lead Scoring Playbook”

Title: The AI Lead Scoring Playbook: How to Find, Score & Close Your Hottest LinkedIn Prospects in 5 Minutes a Day

Why this works for GrowReach:

  • You’re building lead scoring, qualification, and management features (matching Linqin’s capabilities)
  • The blueprint teaches the methodology — GrowReach is the tool that automates it
  • “AI” in the title gives 10x distribution boost (Roman’s insight)
  • It’s evergreen — lead scoring is a fundamental need, not a trend

The Cold Email Sequence

Email 1: The Offer

Subject: AI lead scoring blueprint

Hi [Name],

[1-line personalization — saw their comment/post about lead gen]

I've been building a lead scoring system that helps us
identify the hottest LinkedIn prospects in about 5 minutes.

I put together a playbook on it — covers the signal types,
the heat score framework, and the exact daily workflow.

Want me to send it over?

Best,
Rahul

Email 2: Follow-up (3 days later)

Hi [Name],

Just checking in — did you see my previous email about
the AI lead scoring playbook?

Happy to send it over if you're interested.

Best,
Rahul

Email 3: Last chance (5 days later)

Subject: Re: AI lead scoring blueprint

Hi [Name],

Last call on this — the playbook is still available
if you want it.

No pressure either way.

Best,
Rahul

The Customer Service Hack

“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.”

How to execute for GrowReach:

  1. Find the company’s customer service email (support@, help@, contact@)
  2. Send: “Hi, I made a demo video showing how GrowReach can help [company] score and qualify LinkedIn leads. Could you forward this to [CEO name]? Thanks!”
  3. CS forwards it → CEO watches → CEO books a call

Lead Sources (Priority Order)

  1. High-intent leads (BEST) — Scrape LinkedIn commenters on posts about lead gen, LinkedIn outreach, B2B sales
  2. Scraped leads (GOOD) — Sales Navigator search → scrape ICP → enrich emails
  3. Databases (OKAY) — Apollo, SaaS CDB (lowest response rate)
