SubjectYour cold email benchmarks piece

Hi Marta,

Your benchmarks piece keeps coming up when people ask ChatGPT about outreach tools for SMBs — nice work. One of our clients ran that exact playbook this quarter and got a 41% reply rate.

Would a short mention of their numbers fit in the article? Happy to send the paragraph, and to feature your newsletter in our next report in return.

Théo

Hi Marta, Jonas told me you preferred email so here I am. We run content partnerships for SaaS teams and one of our clients would fit your benchmarks piece…
Marta Ruiz to meMon, 14:40
Hi Théo, thanks for reaching out. We can add a mention in that article. We usually ask $300 for a placement, let me know if that works…
Théo Cataldo to MartaMon, 15:05
Sounds good! $300 is above what we do for a single mention though. Could we do $200, or a link exchange with our benchmark report…
Marta Ruiz to meTue, 09:18
$200 plus the link exchange works, deal. Send me the paragraph and the URL and I'll get it live this week…
