Hello everyone,

This is my first post since reading Unscripted 1 and 2. My question is about cold emailing. I've been cold emailing for a while but started doing it consistently for the past three months. Even though I'm sending over 1000 emails a month to vetted prospects, no serious interests yet. So, from your experience, am I sending too little? How many emails should someone be sending monthly?

I'll also appreciate any tips that you've used with success.

Thanks in advance.
