[[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}}

Hey {{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?

During some research of {{company}} , I came across your profile - love how passionate you've been the past [[number of years they've been working at the company, look it up on their LinkedIn profile]] years to help scale the [[department]] team, while also being that go-to advisor for your growing customers.

Inside look at [[name of your product or service]]

Hi {{first_name}}, this is freaking awesome.

I had to show you this.

I’m in the middle of [[what you’re creating]] about [[benefit about why you’re creating this product or service]].

[[screenshot or GIF of a quick inside look at the product]]

See, here’s the brilliance of [[benefit]]:

Once you know [[what they’ll know after they’ve gone through your product or service]], you [[what they’ll do different]].

I used to have to [[what your reader is currently doing because they don’t have the insight of your product or service]].

I don’t have to wait [[what your reader is doing now]].

Is this you, {{first_name}}?

Hi {{first_name}},

[[icebreaker]]

So, I’m reaching out to ask you a quick question: [[Intriguing question]]

Asking because I just finished [[Service]] for [[Client]], and achieved [[metrics]] – resulting in revenues approaching 7 figures.

My guess is these are results you'll want to have at {{company}}. And given {{company}} similarity with [[Client]], implementing our strategy will yield the same crazy results.

That said, I'd like to show you how this strategy can be useful to the marketing team at {{company}}.

Is this something you're interested in?

Yes!

Lost At Sea

Hi {{first_name}},,

I am not sure what body of water that is on your LinkedIn cover photo, but I would totally be okay with getting lost at sea on that boat. Especially if I get to float around on one of the blow up rafts. I could only imagine calling that my WFH office. Did you or a friend take that photo with a drone? It is epic, what ocean or lake is it?

It seems like every meeting I have with marketers these days revolves around their need to generate more MQLs. By connecting our audience of 50 million decision makers to your content, we’ve seen a lot of success working with companies in your space like Snovio and I was hoping to replicate this success with your team.

Do you have some time this week or next to discuss how some of your peers in B2B technology are crushing their MQL generation goals?

A first-touch prospecting email goes to someone with zero awareness of you. Every sentence must earn the right to the next one. Unlike a follow-up or re-engagement email, you can't reference a prior conversation or shared context. You're starting from scratch, which means the first line needs to prove you've done your research, and the rest needs to show why the recipient should care right now.

When you have no trigger event, assert a pattern about their segment. For example: "Companies scaling from 5 to 15 SDRs typically see coaching quality drop." This establishes credibility and relevance without requiring personalization data you don't have. A good template gives you this opening structure, then leaves room for you to fill in the specifics about the prospect's situation.

Start from your best existing customers: short sales cycles, high contract value, low churn. What do they have in common? Use those attributes (industry, company size, growth stage, tech stack) to build a lookalike list. If your templates are going to prospects who don't match your best customer profile, volume won't compensate for poor fit. Prospecting is a targeting exercise first, a writing exercise second.

Each email presents a completely different value angle. Email 1: assert the core problem plus a direct question CTA. Email 2: shift to an alternative benefit plus a referral CTA ("Who on your team owns this?"). Email 3: introduce a strategic angle plus a simple question ("How are you handling this today?"). Never repeat the same argument across emails. Three total, and each must stand alone.

Sending 20-49 cold emails per day per account produces a 5.7% reply rate, 27% above the overall average, according to Hunter's State of Email Outreach report. Going above 100 emails per day hurts both open and reply rates because email service providers expect human-like sending volumes. Protect deliverability first, scale second.
