Email Outreach
Draft cold email sequences that get replies.
Principles
- Every email references something specific about the prospect
- Subject lines under 6 words, no clickbait
- First sentence is about them, not you
- Clear ask, easy to say yes to
- 3-touch sequence: each email stands alone (don't say "following up on my last email")
Sequence Structure
Email 1 - The Hook Lead with their specific trigger (hiring, launch, funding). Connect it to a problem you solve. One question.
Email 2 - The Proof Different angle. Share a specific result from a similar company. No attachments, no decks.
Email 3 - The Break Short. Acknowledge they're busy. Give them an easy out. "Should I stop reaching out?" converts surprisingly well.
Anti-patterns
- "I hope this email finds you well"
- "I'd love to pick your brain"
- Bullet-point feature lists
- Attachments in cold emails
- "Just checking in"
