Research at [[company]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I saw that [[company]] is really producing a lot of research. I loved the [[name of report]].

Most [[function you help]] teams that find us at this stage already have a [[solution you offer]]. The friction point is usually the same: [[challenge]].

Your [[product]] turns [[challenge]] into [[solution]]. We are [[what your solution replaces]]. Teams that switch typically [[ROI statement]].

Open to a quick look?

[[Webinar Title]] question

Hi {{first_name}},

I saw we were both on [[Webinar Title]] with [[Host Name]] earlier – your question about [[something they asked / topic from chat if known, or “scaling in [[Industry]]”]] really stood out.

I’m [[Your Name]], founder of [[Your Startup]], where we [[1-line on what you’re building]] for [[who you serve]]. We’re wrestling with a lot of the same themes from the session – especially [[specific topic from webinar – e.g. “finding the right early customers” / “figuring out a repeatable outbound motion”]].

If you’re open to it, I’d love to connect for a quick 15–20 minute chat to swap notes on what you’re trying this quarter and share what’s working (and not) on my side too.

Would you be up for that?

[[Your Startup]][[key metric or outcome]] for [[customer type]]

Hey {{first_name}},

I’m the founder of [[Your Startup]], where we [[plain-English description of what you do]] for [[target customer]]. We’ve reached [[key traction metric – e.g. $XXk MRR, YY active customers, recent milestone]] and are now raising [[amount + round type]] to [[what the capital will unlock]].

Given your investments in [[Fund’s relevant focus or portfolio – e.g. “B2B SaaS at seed” / “[Portfolio Company A] & [Portfolio Company B]”]], I thought this could be a potential fit.

Would you be open to a quick 20-minute call to see if it’s worth a deeper look?

Join our pilot program

Hey {{first_name}},

Our [[Job title and name of senior figure in business]] came across [[Prospect company]] on LinkedIn while identifying top-performing [[Industry]] [[title]]s for a pilot program we’re running.

We’re offering a Quick-Start Plan to a select few [[industry]] teams - a lightweight setup that [[benefit of pilot and the ROI]] for [[prospect's company name]].

We recently helped [[example customer]] increase [[value metric]].

Based on what [[senior figure in business]] found, [[prospect's company name]] looks like a strong candidate for similar results.

Would you be open to a short call to explore?

P.S. Normally [[cost]], but [[prospect's company name} was flagged as an ideal case study - so we're waiving the fee

Subject: Reach out to [[First Name]] - Quick-Start Plan

To: [[you]]

Hey [[your name]], wrapped up research on [[prospect company name]]. Excellent candidate for the Quick-Start - let's schedule a call to confirm fit.

Cheers,

[[senior figure in business]]

Do you actually use [[competitor's]] full suite of tools?

Hey {{first_name}},

Quick question: Do you actually use [[competitor's features]]?

Or are you mostly just...[[core job to be done]]?

Most teams we talk to are paying [[cost of competitor service]] for [[competitor name]] but [[job to be done they're focused on]]. Which is fine, except [[your company name]] does that one thing for [[cost]] and [[your tool's quality vs. theirs]].

Not saying [[competitor]] is bad - but if [[company name]] is primarily [[job to be done they're focused on]] you might be overpaying for features you're not using.

15-minute call: I'll pull up your current [[competitor]] plan, show you [[what that'd cost with your tool]], and you tell me if the math makes sense.

If it doesn't save you real money, we'll both move on. If it does, you just found the budget for something else.

Worth a look?

P.S. - Not asking you to switch anything today. Just showing you the numbers.

Your journey with [[Prospect's company]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I saw you’re the person behind [[Prospect's Company]]. Your journey [[include information from prospecting their bio, LinkedIn, or podcasts]] shows [[something the prospect is passionate about]].

I think you're exactly the person that I need to talk to about [[your solution]]. It's [[what the solution is]] built for [[ICP]] to [[job be done.]]

Can I share more information?

p.s., if you'd like to get a copy of [[piece of content]] that helps people like you, just hit reply and enter Y.

Spending too much on [[job to be done]]?

Hey {{first_name}},

Spending too much on [[job to be done]]? Head counts ebb and flows but our fees don’t.

[[company]] keeps your [[job to be done]] cost static. Your peers at [[competitor]] saw [[ROI - x saving in y months]]

Worth a quick call to discuss how it can work for you?

Ideas Hey {{first_name}},

Since content is a major source of customers for you, here are a few meaty topics that would bring in high intent leads and a lot of social engagement.

[[Briefly describe a really good idea related to their business and your services]]

[[Briefly describe another really good idea related to their business and your services]]

A little about me: I create really engaging content that converts (recent examples: 1, 2, 3).

Would you be open to a 15-min brainstorm to bat around some ideas?

[[Your name]]
Should I speak to [[referral name]]?

Hi {{first_name}},

Would you be the right person to connect with regarding lighting & energy management at {{company}}?

This is [[name]], [[position]] at [[company]], a local Nashville company. We consult on energy efficiency and clean energy projects, working to help our clients reduce their utility bills by 10-50%. We like to call it “Total Energy or TotalE.” Do you have a “Total E” strategy?

Have you converted to LED lights? What percentage of your utility and maintenance budget is HVAC? Imagine if you could cut that expense by 30-50%. We’ve helped our clients do such things.

I’d like to set up a quick phone call or meeting to discuss your firm’s “Total E” goals. Thanks for connecting me to the right person.

[[company]] & {{company}}

Hey {{first_name}},

How are you?

As the owner of [[company]], we are a big fan of {{company}}. We use it as a daily tool to reach out to new clients.

During my usage, I couldn’t find a specific video that could tell me how to use {{company}} and what all the possibilities are. Luckily, I found out myself. 😉

The reason for my mail is that my company [[company]] is specialized in making high end video content in the B2B sector. I was wondering if you’re open for a first acquaintance to see if we could collaborate and develop cool video content for {{company}} (animation videos for example)?

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

2 Questions {{first_name}}

Looking at how {{company}} works and the pricing breakdowns, and I was wondering if you're using automation to recover failed payments and do you think it correlates to any involuntary churn?

If so, could I share with you how our full human approach can add 20% or more back?

Frequently asked questions

If you can’t find the answer to your question here, visit the dedicated section in our Help Center.

Visit the Help Center

A cold email for sales should answer four questions the prospect silently asks: why are you emailing me, why should I care, why you specifically, and why now? Open with a relevant observation about their business, quantify the consequence of inaction, provide proof you can help, and connect your timing to their current circumstances. The templates give you the structure. Your job is filling in the specifics.

A sales email should be under 100 words. Shorter emails get better reply rates because they respect the recipient's time and force you to cut filler. Your first email earns the right to a reply, not a sale. If you can't explain why the email matters in three to four sentences, the problem is your positioning, not your word count. Each sentence needs to pull its weight.

Match your cold email CTA to the email's position in your sequence. First email: a low-commitment question like "Is this something your team is dealing with?" Second email: a referral ask like "Who on your team owns this?" Third email: a simple question like "How are you handling this today?" Never ask for a meeting in the first email. Low-pressure questions outperform calendar requests because they give the prospect a way to respond without committing to anything.

The strongest cold email offers deliver standalone value before any sale: an audit of their current setup, a competitive analysis, a benchmark report for companies their size, or a framework relevant to their role. The test is simple: can the prospect see exactly what they get in a single sentence? "Let's hop on a call" fails that test. "I ran a quick analysis of your top three landing pages" passes it.

The number one reason sales cold emails fail is being too sales-focused. 65% of decision makers say pushy, sales-first copy is their top complaint about cold emails, according to Hunter's State of Email Outreach report. This overtook irrelevance as the primary objection. Cold emailing is effective when the email earns attention through relevance, not when it demands it through pressure. Lead with the prospect's problem, not your product.

How to write a cold sales email template?

  • Write subject lines like a real person. Provide a quick overview of your email content, keep it short and simple. You can even ask a relevant question or mention a mutual connection in your subject line.
  • Create a perfect opening line. Make your prospect interested in reading your sales email from the very first line. Explain the context of your email shortly, build the trust, or refer to someone or something they already know.
  • Keep your email short and easy. A good sales email provides additional context on who you are, clarifies the problem you’re solving, and highlights the benefit to the prospect.
  • Include a powerful CTA. Create a single and powerful call-to-action that will be clear to your prospects.
  • Don’t forget about your signature. Besides a typical signature where you mention your name, company, and website, you can add a link to your latest case study, video, or webinar recording.

How to write sales email subject lines?

  • Make your subject line personal. Mention the prospect’s name, company, or offer relevant to them. Write subject line like a real person (even if you automate your outreach), double-check if you don’t have brackets showing form field labels, extra spacing, or the wrong name in a subject line since it all show an apparent lack of care.
  • Ask questions in your subject line. Having a relevant to your prospect question can dramatically improve your open rates; you just need to intrigue prospects with the content behind your subject line.
  • Keep subject lines short. Best subject lines have something in common - they are short and straight to the point. It’s much easier to catch prospects’ attention this way. Besides that, it’s important to keep subject lines short because they will get cut off if they are too long, especially on mobile devices.
