Woodpecker: This tool features a unique delivery process can help you send cold emails to an outreach list automatically, while appearing to arrive one at a time (as if you were sending them manually yourself).

If you’d be able to answer this question in a few sentences, that would be amazing:

No promotional links.

No service pitches.

No asking if they’re hiring.

You need to be patient at this stage. Your goal is to provide value and show your worth.

By doing that first, instead of just making promises of the value you could deliver in the future, you’re going to win their trust and catch their attention in a much different way than 99% of other freelancers cold emailing and pitching them to be hired.
