How to figure out the present pain of someone (when they won't even respond?)
ive been reaching out to group owners and youtube channel owners (for endorsed traffic type deals and distribution)... but have a 90%+ ignore rate lol.
i think that has a big part to do with what likes to talk about : "better to address present pain instead of future gain, if you want the person to take action and respond"
instead of mentioning "future gain" benefits like:
- looking like a hero to your audience and having them appreciate you more
- an extra source of monetization when partnering with me
- helping solve some of your audience's pain points
- not asking or requiring from you to do much effort at all, barely lift a finger (ill take care of everything)
having a hard time figuring out that present pain in them that if i bring it up, they would stop ignoring my outreach... any ideas?

That helps . I see the problem. That's not how people talk. It also doesn't show that you know anything specific about them. (I can't tell what biz they are in or anything? There is nothing personal in there.)
If you bumped into this guy/girl at Walmart, would you say ALL of that?
Probably not, right?
You basically pitch slapped them:-)
What might you say if you bumped into them at Walmart and you recognized them?
How would you strike up the conversation?

thank you Travis, you're definitely correct, I have to shift away from my own communication style (I personally prefer everything upfront) into how the majority like to communicate.
As a related question, I'm wondering if you have any guidance on the other question? : how to indirectly figure out the present pains of an individual/company when they don't respond directly to a question asking them about what those are?

I bet you'd run away if someone came up to you in Walmart and said everything you said in that email, 😁. It's not how ANYONE communicates.
Research: Most people are pretty upfront about what they are doing, what's new for them, and their present pains. They discuss it on their YT channels, podcasts, X posts, FB posts, etc.
The "trick" to opening conversations in 8 out of 10 cases on the first try is about 5 minutes of research and being a better listener than a talker.

I would start with something like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hey Luis,
Loved selling to private equity companies video.
I'm going to binge-watch the other videos.
Thank you

Shut up and wait for them to respond.
Their response would decide your response.
If they don't respond after 3 days, do something valuable for them:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Luis,
I was going through your [Name of the video]
And loved the insight [Mention it]
I feel more people should be familiar with it, so I cut it out for you:

Feel free to post it on TT or IG, or use it as you like.

If they don't respond after 3 days, move on to the next prospect.
Or pitch them if you desperately want to work with them.
