Nick Abraham is breaking down the exact outbound system behind 250,000 LinkedIn DMs a month, including the numbers, infrastructure, and why LinkedIn is blowing cold email out of the water right now. He pulls back the curtain on the LinkedIn InMail arbitrage that most people have no idea exists, how he's stacking SalesNav licenses to send at scale without paying per credit, and why reply rates on LinkedIn are nearly 3x what he's seeing from cold email, even to the exact same lead lists. 

But it doesn't stop there. Nick also gets into how he's completely rethinking cold email as a one-to-one marketing channel powered by AI, where every email is essentially a personalized ad written specifically for that recipient's business, role, and pain point. He walks through a real live example using getleads.io and how he's slicing TAM lists into micro-campaigns by channel type, inbox provider, and job function to squeeze dramatically better results out of the same volume. 

They also get into the full outbound tech stack Nick is running right now: SmartLead for email sequencing, HeyReach for LinkedIn, Master Inbox for unified reply management, Close CRM for pipeline, and how Cursor plus Claude replaced his entire RevOps setup, no Zapier, no full-time hire. About the Guest Nick is the founder of Leadbird.io, one of the top outbound agencies running today. Link with him through here.
