issue #100

Hey ColdIQers! There’s something special about new launches, a new product, the milestones…

We're living it right now. ColdIQ was built as an outbound agency, and this summer it became a product too: the same data and plays we run for clients, in your hands through one ColdIQ account.

The first sales came in. So did the feedback… and now the features:

-Verified emails and mobile numbers, searched across providers until one hits

-Funding, hiring, and job-change signals that tell you when to reach out

-Company and people search across 40+ data sources

-Mailboxes and domains you can order straight via API

-Website visitors setup

And since it's issue #100, here's our gift: the end-of-summer deal is back, with up to 25% off every ColdIQ plan.

Let’s get it.

Tool of the week

When Jonathan Chemouny joined ElevenLabs, about 95% of their pipeline came from inbound. Strong, but risky.

His sales development team grew outbound from 5% to 30% of pipeline with lemlist.

lemlist just reached $53M ARR and is growing at a crazy pace, and there’s a reason why…

Picture your week. A prospect ignores your emails but is on LinkedIn every morning. Instead of juggling two tools and a spreadsheet, you build one sequence: an email, a LinkedIn step, then a call task, all in the same place.

Sending from Microsoft inboxes? lemwarm handles the warm-up inside lemlist.

If your outreach still lives in three tabs, lemlist is worth a look. The 14-day free trial is enough to test one sequence.

Profile of the week

Ever wondered who wires the systems behind a campaign that books meetings?

Joe Wilde does it for a living. Senior GTM engineer. The person who turns a list, a signal, and a sequence into one pipeline that runs on its own.

He shares how that work gets built, from the data layer to the send. Follow Joe for:

• Real GTM engineering builds

• AI agents wired into outbound

• Lessons from the senior seat

Data source of the week

A company that just posted five SDR roles is not the same lead it was last month.

PredictLeads tracks that change for you.

It watches job openings, technology adoption, funding rounds, and news, then serves it all through an API your agents can call. Want every company that just started using a tool you replace? One endpoint. Every company hiring for the role you sell to? Another.

That is the gap between a list of who fits and a list of who is moving right now.

Their free plan gives you 100 API calls a month to test it. If your agents still build lists from static filters, plug in PredictLeads this week.

PS: It’s also available inside the ColdIQ MCP!

Play of the week

Every person engaging with your content could become a client of yours…

Our CEO Michel has posted 770+ times on LinkedIn, and we mapped the workflow we use to follow up with the people who engage.

Every like and comment gets captured with the ColdIQ MCP and GetLeads, enriched with Explorium, scored against our ICP with Claude skills, then checked against our CRM so clients and competitors never get pitched.

Each prospect who passes gets an Instantly email that references the exact post they engaged with.

You'll learn:

• How to filter engagers who should never get pitched

• Which data points decide whether to activate or skip

• How to write a first line from the post they liked

If your engagers still disappear after the like, steal the workflow ↓

Thanks for being with us!
