🎉 The State of Cold Email 2025 report is LIVE! 🎉 After months of work, I’m proud to finally share our comprehensive 20+ page report breaking down what’s really working in cold email this year—and what’s not. We surveyed over 500 sales and marketing professionals and analyzed cold email performance across multiple industries and sending volumes. Huge shoutout to our incredible contributors— Jed Mahrle, 🏄🏼‍♂️ Scott Leese, Jordan Crawford, James Buckley, 🦾Eric Nowoslawski, Michael Hanson & Wes- Schaeffer —for their insights. Big thanks also to the Mailshake team for helping bring this to life with crisp visuals and deep analysis. Here’s what’s inside the report: ☑ Benchmarks for open rates, reply rates, bounce rates, and lead generation ☑ The impact of Google’s recent spam updates on cold email deliverability ☑ How personalization level correlates with campaign performance ☑ A breakdown of reply-rate leaders and what they’re doing differently ☑ Strategic recommendations + a 4-phase implementation framework ☑ The “PVP” method explained with examples ☑ Actionable insights from 7+ expert practitioners And a LOT more. Some of the findings that really stood out: → 69% respondents said their cold email results declined year-over-year—highlighting just how much harder inbox visibility has become. → Campaigns with individual personalization outperformed group-based approaches across every metric. → Most senders are generating fewer than 10 leads per month—but a small group is consistently hitting 50+ with the right strategy. This report isn’t just theory. You’ll find real benchmarks, real expert advice, and a step-by-step framework to adapt and win with cold outreach in 2025. 📩 HOW TO GET YOUR COPY: Like this post Comment “COLD” below I’ll DM you the full report directly.

After weeks of research and analysis, I’m thrilled to share ZoomShift’s 20+ page deep dive into how tariffs are actually affecting small and midsized businesses this year. This isn’t a recycled headline or a policy explainer.

We surveyed 1,124 SMB owners and managers across industries like retail, manufacturing, logistics, and professional services to uncover: 📊 How many businesses are raising prices (and how customers are responding) ⚠️ Where supply chains are breaking down — and what smart companies are doing about it 📉 Why nearly half of SMBs are slowing hiring or reducing staff 📈 The strategies agile SMBs are using to grow in spite of the pressure 🧭 What leaders need to prepare for in the second half of 2025 Some findings that really stood out: → 66% of SMBs have already raised prices or eaten increased costs → Only 22% report no supply chain disruption → More than 40% say they don’t fully understand how tariffs even impact them This report is packed with practical takeaways — not just survival tactics, but growth strategies for uncertain times.
