What are some interesting or unusual replies that you have gotten from owners during direct outreach?
In a recent email where I inquired about buying and asking to meet over coffee, the owner replied "Time is money in our business and we can chat for up to 2 hours with a
$1000 retainer."
I take this as a valuable data point and move on. Takes a special kind of individual to take their "valuable" time to type out this reply instead of just ignoring it.
Would love to hear some other stories.
