Risk Mitigation vs Volume Maximisation: The cold email budget mistake almost everyone is making

The cold email industry has bundled two completely separate concepts into one word. And the word is diversification. Risk mitigation is one concept.

Maybe the copy needs work. Maybe the leads are off. But the problem is not one piece. It is how everything is connected.
