Here's the thing nobody wants to admit about Q4 - it's both the best and worst time to run cold email campaigns.

Most agencies and service businesses get this wrong. They either ghost their cold email completely (which is a massive mistake), or they run the same campaigns they ran in September and wonder why nothing lands.
