The majority of salesy cold mail goes straight to trash. But as a business owner, what would make you respond?

    You are asking to the incorrect people

    For everyone: this is an example of invalid market research

    You can’t ask reddit active commenters something and expect anything useful comes out of it. It’s like if youtube asked people what kind of ads they liked.

    The whole process is flawed because you first get an interaction bias: Only people that actually comment will respond to you (like me), it’ll skew so much the outcome that you’ll be led to belive false things

    Then you get the kindness (or not) bias: where people try to be nice to you vastly over stating their actual response should you try to expose them to your product

    You need to ask *sales* reddit, that’s the correct spot. Either that or run A/B tests yourself until you start getting better results.

      Hi! This would definitely be an invalid way of conducting market research, if this were market research.

      However, this is an example of my curiosity in other people’s perception of things.

      That being said, feel free to leave your thoughts on cold mail as well.
