Promise a playbook then admit there is none

The Hyperbound cofounder teased a 10 step playbook, then said the truth was relationships and persistence.

Updated · By Blake Emal

The post opens with 6,000,000 impressions in under a month, promises a playbook, then says just kidding and tells how he cold emailed sales leaders by hand until they became believers. The fake out is a pattern break, and the honest story is more useful than a list.

  1. Open with a result people want
  2. Tease the format readers expect
  3. Break it with honesty
  4. Tell the real story in short lines
  5. Credit the people who helped
