#570 - Cold Email Masterclass: Everything You Need To Book Meetings in 2026
2w ago00:25:50Tap to summarizeYour AI Email Guide: https://www.30mpc.com/course/cold-email-course Jason Bay gives a cold email masterclass on what actually gets replies in a market where most reps are ignored. Stop pitching your product and start with a specific company problem that creates urgency and shows you did your homework. Use relevant social proof and short, skimmable emails to build trust fast and make it easy to respond Write subject lines that look internal and use simple yes or no or offer-based CTAs instead of asking for time. Run multi-touch, multi-channel sequences with smart follow-ups instead of relying on one email. If you’re sending cold emails today, this is the playbook to fix what’s not working.

#569 - How Leaders Can Clarify the Pitch, Stop Paraphrasing, and Actually Add Value | Allison Bouchard ft. Outreach
3w ago00:31:58Tap to summarizeGet more from Outreach x 30MPC Cut the fluff and win executive buy-in faster by turning complex sales messaging into clear, high-impact ideas your buyer can understand in under three minutes. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Shrink your message until it hurts → Draft your content, cut it in half, then cut it again until only the core idea remains. Separate decks from docs → Use slides to drive one visual/emotional point, and send a separate doc for detail and justification. Use plain language, not “company speak” → If a non-industry person wouldn’t understand it, simplify it immediately. Keep depth in the appendix, not the pitch → Focus your presentation on 2–3 big ideas and move everything else out of the main narrative.

#567 - How to Turn Cold Outreach Into Real Conversations | Adia Toll
4w ago00:36:13Tap to summarizeIn this episode we take how Adia Toll engineered a 72% reply rate by shifting from pitch-first selling to conversation-first prospecting and the exact systems behind it. ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Grind → optimize → automate (GOAT framework): Manually run your entire outbound motion first, then optimize each step before automating so you scale what actually works. Focus on one metric at a time: Pick a single KPI (like reply rate), reverse engineer it, and ignore everything else until you 10x it. Prioritize conversations over meetings: Start simple, human back-and-forth dialogue first—meetings come easier once rapport is built. Don’t scale bad outbound: Avoid “spray and pray” automation—optimize for quality conversations, not activity volume.

#563 - How to Build Reps Who Don’t Need You on Every Deal | Jason Miller ft. Unify
Apr 900:36:38Tap to summarizeGreat sales leaders don’t solve problems, they build reps who can. Jason Miller breaks down how to drive focus, coach real skill gaps, and force critical thinking so your team performs without you in the room. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Use “poster vs post-it” to drive focus: Set one team-wide priority (poster) and one hyper-specific behavior per rep (post-it) to avoid overwhelm and actually move performance. Don’t tell reps what to do, make them think first: Ask “what would you do?” before coaching. Then reinforce or correct based on your process to build independent decision-making. Force prep through no-AI deal planning: Require reps to manually map out key calls, questions, stakeholders, and outcomes. Critical thinking before the meeting beats post-call coaching. Size problems with extreme ranges to unlock honesty: Frame questions like “are you closer to a 5% or 70% gap?” to make prospects more comfortable revealing the real impact.
