Hello!

Lately, I've been handwriting cold sales letters to business owners. It takes about 20-25 minutes per letter, so I'm wondering if this is really worth it or not?

I chose to handwrite because it seems more personal and I hope it allows me to develop rapport and show I'm a human as well. Fonts that appear to be handwriting are bad from what I've heard as people are catching on and it's becoming increasingly clear and it leads to mistrust as it appears to them like you're fooling them.

So, should I continue handwriting these sales letters or should I just print them out in a normal font? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
