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?

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.
