Most cold pitches I sent got ignored. The ones that landed felt like luck.

So I broke down the 5 messages that actually worked, and built the workspace I run them from.

If your DMs are getting opened and not answered, your scripts are not the problem.

You don't have any system.

What's inside:

The 5 Scripts

The Cold DM. Why most opening lines fail before the brand reads "collab," and the one swap that fixes it.

The Email Pitch. The 3-concept frame that turns "send your portfolio" into "let's talk numbers."

The Follow-Up. The phrase that closes 30% of dead leads. Without sounding desperate.

The Rate Negotiation. Anchor your price so the middle option always feels like the deal.

The Counter-Offer. What to say when they push back on rate, without dropping it.

The Outreach Tracker

Every brand you pitch gets a row. Status moves Queued → Sent → Replied → Negotiating → Booked. The Days Since formula auto-counts so you know who's overdue.

A saved Follow-Up Queue view surfaces every brand sitting cold for 4 or more days, oldest first.

The Rate Calculator

Plug in video count, base rate, usage rights, exclusivity, and rush. The Final Quote calculates automatically. Stop pulling numbers out of thin air mid-conversation.

$7 Notion template. Duplicates into your workspace when you join.

Use it tonight, send the first pitch tomorrow.
