In this episode, Justin Chi, founder of Cold Email Hackers, shared his journey from a failed reselling business to becoming the top Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Zoominfo. Despite his initial business falling apart due to various challenges, Justin learned invaluable lessons, which helped him excel in sales and later build a successful business.
Justin's first failed venture involved reselling graphics cards from failed Ethereum miners, but it crumbled due to inexperience and market shifts. At Zoominfo, however, he broke records and mastered the art of cold outreach. His newfound success and skills in personalized cold calling and emailing fueled his entrepreneurial spirit.
Six months into his new venture, Cold Email Hackers, Justin surpassed expectations and decided to go full-time, focusing on scaling the profitable business. He discussed how he uses AI to personalize outreach at scale, leveraging tools like Clay for prospecting and mitigating spam risks through quantity and diversification.
Looking ahead, Justin foresees evolving email endurance strategies as filters and competitors change, including SaaS models and AI-to-AI conversations. However, he's committed to innovating and leveraging his experience to always reach prospects.
