What’s one outdated marketing tactic businesses should drop?

Hey Rockstarr team –

What’s one outdated marketing tactic businesses should drop?

Cold outreach without research.

Sending generic cold emails, LinkedIn DMs, or calls with zero personalization is a waste of time. Today’s buyers are smarter—they can spot a copy-paste message from a mile away.

Why It Doesn’t Work

  1. People Hate Spam – If your outreach isn’t tailored, it’s going straight to the trash.
  2. Low Response Rates – Generic messages get ignored because they don’t feel personal.
  3. It Hurts Your Brand – If you’re known for bad outreach, it damages your reputation.

What to Do Instead

✅ Personalize Everything – Reference something specific about their business, recent news, or content they’ve shared.
✅ Lead With Value – Instead of pitching right away, offer a useful insight, tip, or resource.
✅ Use a Warm-Up Approach – Engage with their content on LinkedIn before reaching out.

The Bottom Line

Cold outreach can work—but only if you do your homework. Stop the copy-paste spam and start treating people like humans.
