FAQ
Q: How many personalization points should each email include?A: Aim for 3-5 specific personalization elements beyond name – company details, recent news, industry challenges, role-specific pain points.
Q: What’s a good email length for cold outreach?A: 75-125 words typically performs best. Long enough to demonstrate value, short enough to respect recipient time.
Q: Should I include links in initial emails?A: Minimize links in first touch (1 CTA maximum) to avoid spam filters. Increase links in follow-ups once relationship is established.
Q: How do I avoid sounding salesy?A: Focus on their world (challenges, goals) for 70% of email, your solution for 30%. Use collaborative language (“Would it be valuable…” vs “I want to sell you…”).
