How to write a cold email that gets replies

If your cold email doesn’t stand out or provide value, your prospects won't reply. And no replies means no meetings booked, ending in 0 business growth opportunities.

That’s why your cold email must catch the prospect’s attention and provide value as a reason to reply.

Here’s an example of a cold email with a 44% reply rate. 💪

Let’s go through the good elements you can use in your next campaign!

#1 Give a compliment‍

→ genuine congratulation on the business win will prove that you are following prospects' work and understand their background

#2 Mention common ground‍

→ relating to the prospect's pain point will help you build rapport more easily and make your solution more relevant

#3 Make CTA less sales-y‍

→ instead of booking a sales meeting, the closing line suggests chatting over a coffee which sounds less formal and more inviting

#4 Add personalization‍

→ the personalized image will add a human touch which helps build a relationship and makes prospects more likely to reply

3 ways to build trust in your cold emails

When prospects receive a cold email, they are often skeptical and may quickly think the message is either "spammy" or "another sales-y pitch".

That's why building trust and credibility in a cold email will make the prospect take your message seriously and consider your help.

Here are 3 ways to prove you understand your prospect's struggles and are the right person to help them 👀

#1 add a pain point example‍

→ it will help you stand out from other emails' “fake” personalization and show you did detailed prospect research

#2 add social proof‍

→ mentioning the results of your customers (from the same size and industry as the prospect) makes it easier for the prospect to relate

#3 show your industry expertise‍

→ demonstrate that you know what you’re talking about by giving free value even before they become your customers
