About this episode

Saurav Gupta interviews Gerda Ance Rieksta about effective cold email strategies for B2B companies.

In today's episode, I chat with Gerda, from Leadprinter AI, about running end-to-end cold email systems for B2B companies across a surprisingly wide range of niches—SaaS, video agencies, investment firms, solar panels, real estate, conferences—with a bold guarantee of minimum 20 leads per month or extensions and refunds, which has only failed twice out of 200 clients. We explore two campaigns: a Bali villa real estate campaign where they scraped relevant Facebook groups and LinkedIn to build a hyper-targeted list, ran a webinar funnel via cold email, booked 350 attendees, and sold the villa; and a Latvian financing company campaign where basic industry and job title filters across a 2,000-company TAM produced 150 leads per month—effectively reaching nearly 10% of the entire market every single month. Gerda's consistent observation: the most effective campaigns are almost always the simplest ones, and over-engineering with Clay enrichments and complex personalization introduces more failure points than value.
