Ever wonder why a literal con artist can get a smart businessman to wire him $50,000 in 24 hours, while an honest guy with a product that actually works can't close a $3,000 deal?
Because a scammer doesn't have to worry about delivering anything
When you have a real business, 90% of your brainpower is spent worrying about fulfillment, edge cases & what could go wrong
So when you get on a sales call, you bring your "honest engineer" brain with you. You hedge ("well it depends, usually takes 60-90 days...") and to a normal buyer's brain, hedging sounds like you don't believe in your own shit
A con artist knows he's never delivering a fucking thing
So 100% of his energy goes into making the buyer feel like a king for the 48 hours BEFORE the wire hits. Instant replies, zero hesitation, pure dopamine, telling the guy's ego exactly what it wants to hear
Which means before the money changes hands, the scammer looks like the professional and the honest guy looks like a sketchy amateur
The richest operators I know split their brain in half:
Sell with the shameless, delusional certainty of a con artist who knows the buyer wants a fantasy
Then fulfill like an autistic engineer the second the wire clears
When im exhausted, everything starts sounding true all at once because i don't have the energy left to doubt any of it

cold email to a German business is unlawful with no exception
cold calling is unlawful unless you can show concrete facts that this company wants your offer (a scraped list or a public listing doesn't count) aka presumed consent which is difficult to do
both under UWG and companies will send you an Abmahnung if they are annoyed
And then theres GDPR...

At this current moment in time it is equally or more difficult to have 10 people validate an idea in an industry via cold outreach than it is to actually build the product and sell it

well here we go, customer LTV will just slowly creep to the equivalent of token cost from here on out until every problem can be inferenced by ai

im curious as to wether or not you can dive local markets on craigslist/kijiji/kleinanzeigen on specific items by mass lowballing
never cared to try it though
