I just read Smart Marketers Use This 4-Step Framework for Every Email Campaign on Entrepreneur, and if your emails aren’t converting, this might be the reason why.

It’s not your subject line. It’s not even your offer. It’s your system.

The article dives into a repeatable, four-part framework used by top-performing teams: grab attention, build engagement, align content to a strategy, and guide readers with powerful CTAs. From emotion-tugging subject lines to behavior-triggered automations, this process doesn’t just improve open rates—it transforms email from inbox clutter to a revenue engine.

It’s not about sending more emails. It’s about sending smarter ones—with intention, structure, and purpose.

Key Takeaways:

• ✉️ Craft emotional, mobile-friendly subject lines: That spark curiosity or urgency—nearly half of the opens depend on them.
• 👀 Use preview text as a second hook: Avoid generic intros—make it specific and valuable from the first line.
• 🧠 Framework-first writing beats guesswork: Align every email to audience problems, strategic offers, and a clear sales path.
• 📈 CTAs must be bold, simple, and time-sensitive: Track performance using CRM tools to fine-tune future campaigns.

Let’s get this straight—cold email isn’t dead. It’s just been abused.

In my conversation on Multifamily Insights with John Casmon, I broke down exactly how I’ve used cold email to land clients like Bank of America and Amazon, raise money for my startup, and even find the company that acquired us.

Cold email has a bad rap because people do it lazily. But if you build the right infrastructure, write thoughtful copy, and leverage AI tools the right way—you can scale it, automate it, and drive real results.

The truth? I built my agency while working remotely in Italy, Hawaii, and London, sending over a million emails a month for clients—because when it’s done right, it works.

Key Takeaways:

• 📊 One reply per 1,000 emails is a win: That’s the benchmark. With the right system, you can scale this effortlessly. (13:06)
• 🤖 We use Clay.com for personalization at scale: It makes emails feel handcrafted—even when you’re sending thousands. (12:08)
• ⚠️ Do NOT send from your main domain: Poor infrastructure gets you blacklisted. Build it right, or don’t do it at all. (22:43)
• ✉️ My cold email formula: 1) Purpose 2) Problem 3) Solution 4) Social Proof 5) CTA. Keep it simple. Keep it tight. (20:51)

I just read The Future Of Email Marketing: Trends To Watch In 2025 from Harlem World, and if you thought email was going out of style, think again.

This article pulls no punches—it’s not about chasing shiny objects but doubling down on what actually works.

The main idea? Email is still king—if you play the game right.

AI-driven segmentation, multithread outreach, and FOMO-inducing urgency are shaping the next-gen inbox experience.

Forget vanity metrics—email deliverability is the new north star. Because if your message never makes it to the inbox, nothing else matters.

And here’s the kicker: for every $1 spent on email marketing, the return is $36. That ROI isn’t going anywhere.

Key Takeaways:

• 🧠 AI now curates intent-based content: Email tools can analyze behavior, location, and purchase patterns to automate hyper-personalized campaigns.
• 👥 Multithread outreach boosts conversion: Emailing multiple stakeholders inside a company increases trust and deal traction.
• ⚠️ FOMO isn’t a gimmick—it’s a strategy: Limited-time offers and exclusivity can elevate your open and response rates.
• 📬 Deliverability > open rates: No one cares how clever your CTA is if your email gets trapped in spam. Clean lists and compliance are everything.

My Last $.02

In a world full of too much information, email still represents one of the greatest returns—if used correctly.

Today’s successful marketers are not just emailing. they’re creating systems. From cold email to hyper-personalized sequences, it’s all about strategy, structure, and intelligent tools. If you’re a founder, a growth marketer, or just starting out—mastering this is important.

Because email is not dead. It’s evolving—and it’s still your most valuable business asset.

Until next time, happy emailing!
