6 Tips for Better Cold Emails Cold emails can be hit or miss. Sometimes they're annoying as hell, other times, they deliver exactly what you need.Sending a cold email is like going to the gym. You have to put in the reps to see the benefits.Here are 6 tips for getting in your reps: Who are you sending to? We recommend scouring LinkedIn to find your contacts. With tools like hunter.io, you can literally hijack the emails you want. It's a numbers game: You won’t get results if you send one a day; you’ll get frustrated and give up before you ever get rolling. If you can send 20-30 a day, do it. Strong CTA: Don’t send a douchey email with a subject line like: “Hey, I saw you on LinkedIn and thought we should connect.” Instead, write a strong, clear, memorable CTA and feature it in your subject line. Get real: Don't address people like a bot. Example - Dear Mr. Richards. Nah. Instead, don't be afraid to say, "What's up Ken?" Always circle back: You need three to five follow-ups, sometimes a dozen, before you get a response. Be persistent, but don’t be an asshole. Use someone else: If you can’t think of the words to write, if you’re running into a brick wall of subject lines, or throwing your hands up in sheer frustration trying to write your email sequence, AdZombies can help. They'll craft on-demand email sequences like a bawse for you.Dive deeper here.
