1 Cold Email, 10 closed deals

This email is based on “actions’ your prospect took. These actions might be a product launch, a new offer, a new blog, a press release…any action that might represent an opportunity for you to help.

Having action gives you a reason to email and

makes the email itself feel less cold and unsolicited.

You have to do some leg work in order to find relevant actions you can email them about.

Here is one way to find “actions” that you can use as a reason for your email:

Use LinkedIn or a Google Search to find businesses

you’re interested in working with. Compile a list of the names of the businesses, web address, and contact information of decision makers.

Identify potential needs of these businesses and how you can fill those needs. Can you write blog posts? Articles? Facebook Ads? Video

Scripts? Emails or Sales Copy?

Use a Google Search to determine “new” things that have shown up on their website lately. You can also use social media or LinkedIn to see what these businesses have been up to recently.

To do this, type “site:URL” into a Google search, using

the URL of the business you are looking to work with.

Next, select tools, and pick a recent time frame (1 month usually works well) to see what new things they’ve been working on or releasing.

Skim the search results for recent happenings, events, launches, or publications

🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄

Today, in 1831.

Over 60,000 Jamaican Slaves, led by one man, go on to carry out one of the largest Slave Rebellions in West Indian history.

The 11-Day battle that no one talks about.

The Baptist War: The Christmas Rebellion

[History Thread]

During the 19th century, Jamaica was essentially used as one large plantation by the British.

Most, if not all of the Black residents were enslaved. In fact, Slaves outnumbered Whites 12:1 on the island.

Racial tensions were at all time highs.

Rumors began to circulate around the island that emancipation was on the way for the slaves.

A rumor created by Baptist missionaries to try to pacify the slaves and to thwart any revolts.

The truth, once realized, only angered the slaves even further.

Christian & Baptist missionaries thought their religion would essentially keep the slaves in check.

What they didn't count on was the slaves taking their Christianity and mixing it with Afro-Jamaican religion called "Myalism".

If you're knowledgeable about Jamaican culture and slang, then you would be familiar with the term "Duppy".

This term originates from the Myal Religion, and is believed to be one of the two souls a human gets when they are born into the world.

Origin of the GodhA Sthuthi
******************************

The first slOkam of GodhA sthuthi arose from Swami Desikan spontaneously as he stood on a side street at SrivilliputthUr on a PradhOsham evening to find out the origin of fast approaching sounds of the mangaLa vaadhyams.

He was observing mounam (silence) befitting the occasion of the PradhOsham evening.

He was planning to go to ANDAL Sannidhi later for MangaLAsAsanam.

When he heard the sounds of Koil vaadhyams, he stepped out from the inside of the house, where he was staying to find out as to what was happening .

To his greatest surprise and joy, he saw the archA moorthy of ANDAL being carried by temple servants approaching him, as it was being carried on the backs of the temple servants.

ANDAL's normal processional route did not include the street , where Swami Desikan was staying.

On this special day , there was some theettu on the main street and the temple priests had rerouted the procession to include the street where Swamy Desikan was staying as an alternate route.

Debunking Fake Narratives on Manusmriti on Women; Here Are Facts.

1.Found many antiDharma forces and confused persons using abusive language against Manusmriti.They were depicting Manu Maharishi one who gave birth to caste system and that he was biased against women nd womenhood.I found dis propaganda more sort of political rather than social.

2. So, here I debunk the various myths and fake naaratives pertaining to Manusmriti on women.

Swami Dayanand, the great Vedic scholar of the 19th Century, writes:
“I believe in that part of Manusmriti which is not interpolated (appended later) and is in accord with the Vedas.”

3.He concludes that the Manusmriti we read today is not as originally laid down by Swayambhu Manu, the first Chief of Humanity. As it now is, he found the text as self contradictory and against the values espoused in the Vedas, and hence injudicious.

4.He therefore rejects those prejudicial texts which advocate discrimination against populations with alleged inferior status. Commentaries, interpolations, and additions have demeaned the essence of the Manusmriti. This is the same with other Hindu sacred texts.

Vaikunta Ekadasi good wishes to all Hindus who are observing the Vrata today. The significance & benefits of keeping a fast today is explained in the Uttara Khanda of the Padma Purana. Today the mind must be firmly fixated on Narayana only.

Puja at our place today 🕉️ (1)

Before narrating the origins of Ekadasi, Shri Krishna explains to Yudhisthira the benefits to be had by keeping a fast on Ekadasi. Krishna says the one who keeps a fast on Ekadasi accrues more punya than performing the Ashvamedha. (2)

Krishna says keeping a fast on Ekadasi is 100 times more meritorious than giving Gau-dhana to a Brahmana who has mastered the Vedas. Krishna says those who fast on the Ekadasi day are equal to those in whose bodies live the three deities Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva. (3)

Krishna says to Yudhisthira that even the performance of a thousand Yajnas is not equal to keeping the Ekadasi Vrata. such is the power of keeping a fast today. (4)

To Yudhisthira's query on the origins of Ekadasi, Shri Krishna goes on to narrate the story of the extremely powerful asura Murasura, in whose slaying lies the origins of Ekadasi. Mura who lived during the Satya yuga had taken away by force Indra's abode. (5)

My grandad told me this wild story about the birth of the #NORAD #SantaTracker once. I didn't believe him but most of it checks out - you can look it up. I think I've got the dates right. Scared me a little when I was a kid. Just... weird stuff. Details... THREAD BEGINS 1/

My grandpa, Oliver, was born in Montrose, Colorado, 1934. Big into trucks & cars, dreams of being in the military but won't pass muster as he put it for his later phys eval - his interest in aircraft doesn't catch fire till Dec 24, 1948 w a strange article in the local paper
2/

Oliver's 14 now, thinking about his future, when he reads what's supposed to be an official United States Air Force "communique" that's tracking Santa's sleigh, eight reindeer, at 14k feet, the whole bit. It's kiddie stuff, he knows it, only, friends of his have seen things
3/

This is where it gets weird. Maybe someone at the USAF just thought it'd be fun to get a little press but the 14k sticks in Oliver's craw funny and won't let go. He looks at a map he's got, state parks, etc. 14. It hits him like a freight train - THE 14ers! He had to explain:

Colorado's got 58 mtn peaks over 14k ft, most of any state. They're called the 14ers. Stick with me here...
Not much to do in Colorado as a teen except sneak out with your Dad's hooch, grab a blanket & stare up at the stars. Skies so clear you can count constellations...

Merry Christmas! How’s your Christmas going? Here is a collection of random tweets from Indian Twitter that will do India proud. Thread 👇1/n

The run up to Christmas started with Chavhanke running his Christmas special series on conversions. 2/n

A few days before Christmas, a ‘dharmic’ influencer started a campaign about whether Hindus should celebrate Christmas. 3/n

Right-wing blog OpIndia meanwhile thought it was an opportune time to dig out a 10+ year old video of Zakir Naik on Christmas greetings. 4/n

No Christmas is complete without Indology enlightening his followers. In fact he does it every year on Christmas. 5/n

So I’m looking at Exodus Cry’s business partners & you can really tell who benefits from this definition of “freedom”.
One is called Cedar & Twine.

Basically a bunch of white women moved to Nicaragua, did missionary work, targeted poor Nicaraguan women to manufacture their stuff

We know this business model.

You create a business in a poor country & target people from poor neighborhoods. You pay them like $100/mo, $1/day, pennies/hr. You create a retail store in the US & pay them more.
You get a tax write off from the percentage that goes to charity

It is disturbing that businesses can just donate to anti-trafficking/anti-slavery organizations and claim that they’re ending slavery as a marketing tool.

They found a way to make ending slavery profitable and a way to avoid taxes.... for themselves.

Do you ever notice that all these anti-trafficking/slavery orgs never talk about workers having their wages stolen or being forced to take wages that keep them in poverty forever?

We have to ask the question of who these organizations really serve?

Another business partner of Exodus Cry is Matchless.

Which...I soon as I entered the site I saw a rant on Hooters Girls. They explain that we weren’t really “choosing” to do this, that “it was all we knew”, & only some women willingly “live in sexual sin”

I did my best to capture it, but I apologize in advance. There’s a very good reason I’m not a brain surgeon😅

On #GitaJayanti, I prostrate before Sri Krishna for conceptualising the Bhagwad Gita, Ved Vyasa for compiling these powerful spiritual ideas, and Sri Aurobindo for taking them to the next level.
A thread...

The one shloka from the Bhagwad Gita that has dominated the 2020 discourse is on dealing with death:

नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः ।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः ॥

Weapons cannot cleave it, nor the fire burn, nor do the waters drench it, nor the wind dry.

I have had to send these words of solace to many friends and relatives this year.
But finding solace requires us to read the Gita, live it.
Die the body will but death is only a passport to the next life, next evolution, the Bhagwad Gita tells us.
That’s how I read this shloka.

#GitaJayanti is a good day to read the Bhagwad Gita, one of 58 Gitas, of which 18 reside in the Mahabharata and the rest outside.
The Gitas in the Mahabharata and Ashtavakra Gita I knew; the rest have been enumerated by @bibekdebroy in his new book.

Depending on the engagement path and reading skill, every seeker will have a unique proclivity to the Bhagwad Gita and its expositions.
I find Sri Aurobindo’s Essays on the Gita the deepest, the widest and the loftiest modern interpretation of these ancient truths.

Thanks to everyone who posted tributes to my father. I thought I might honor him with a not-too-serious thread on some of his major works, from the admittedly warped perspective of one of his offspring. 1/13

Let’s start with Japan’s New Middle Class 1963, hands-down my favorite. I am biased, of course, since my parents conducted the research together, and I know many in the cast of characters.

My parents immersed themselves in the lives of 6 families in a Tokyo suburb. The book is a testament to the payoff from intensive ethnographic research. It offers the reader a vivid portrait of everyday life in 1950s Japan. 3/13

Canton Under Communism 1969, the only one I had to read in college. That ruined it for me. But it was pretty impressive that he could write such a rich book about a country he had never been to. He interviewed refugees from the mainland in Hong Kong.

Japan as Number One 1979, Japan's all-time top-selling non-fiction work by a non-Japanese author – I think. Some claimed it was not truly a work of scholarship, or it did not treat Japan’s strengths and weaknesses evenly. But that was the point.

1. Going with a space/alien narrative today. I've put a thread together on the topic based off my favorite Patreon/ YT @ShowCasanova & "V". If you have never heard any of their discussions, you are missing out!

Finally got around to listening to Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's Monday news conference, and *** I AM SO CONFUSED!!! *** 1/

On one hand, Lee told reporters that he did not impose a mask mandate because statewide mandates don't work, that people will only listen to their local elected officials. 2/

"A trusted voice in their community is their local official, the people that they elected to be their leaders," Lee argued. 3/

But, in Nashville where the local officials HAVE imposed a mask mandate, Lee said: "We know that people don't wear masks even when there's a mandate." 4/

So even local mask mandates don't work? 5/

SHORT THREAD CRITIQUE OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS | SUMMA THEOLOGIAE | AGAINST LOVE & WILL IN GOD
--------
Article 1. Whether love exists in God?

I. To the contrary, I object:
1. God should not possess faculties. Faculties imply other, alike to how sight implies there is light for it to see. Any faculty possessed by God must be perfected, and so the perfect faculty must actualise its perfect end.

Therefore, by necessity of God possessing said faculty, he must actualise the perfect end of that faculty. The faculty of love necessitates either the reception or impartation of love, so he is made to either make beings which will love him and/or beings which he can love.

Being forced to make beings to achieve his perfection is a deficiency, but without doing so he cannot perfect his faculty, leaving him imperfect.

2. Suppose the faculty’s perfection is achieved internally: what cause can be given to justify the faculty? If God is simple, he must also be uniform. If he is uniform, then he is one.

The great strategist Sun-Tzu instructed, “All warfare is based on deception.”

It appears that our nation's political establishment has ‘declared war’ on our Election System. [Thread]

Instead of demanding transparency & accountability, the U.S. media is aiding this deception.

Instead of asking questions about the U.S. election, it is censoring & suppressing them. This is bizarre journalistic behavior. Americans of all political persuasions should be alarmed.

While we were sleeping, enemies wheeled in Trojan horses in the form of voting machines. The Greeks built these vessels of ruin used in the Trojan War; we acted foolishly, just like the Trojans, and wheeled them into our counties & precincts without knowing what is in them.

What is in them are secretive source codes undoubtedly stitched together like a Frankenstein’s monster.

Nothing is stopping us from concluding the voting machines have Abby Normal brains - regardless of assurance from a DHS private-public partnership functioning as their PR arm.

We are just supposed to take Dominion Voting Systems’ word that it never used Smartmatic’s source codes, even after it bought the Smartmatic subsidiary Sequoia in 2010, right as it bought scandal-plagued Diebold voting systems (a subsidiary of Premiere) in 2010? Sorry. No.
