Someone replies: “Unsubscribe.”
Your instinct?
Delete. Snap back. Move on.
But that moment defines your brand.
Snark burns bridges.
Class builds them.
A simple:
“Apologies for the intrusion. Won’t reach out again.”
Says everything about who you are.
Your cold email should fit on one phone screen. No scrolling.
I use the 3-Sentence Rule:
Observation
Bridge
Low-friction question
That’s it.
Clarity is kindness.
Brevity is respect.
And replies come faster when it’s that simple.
You optimize ads like a machine.
But your cold email?
Broad. Casual. Vague.
"Just reaching out…" isn't a wedge. It's a whisper.
You would never run broad match on a $10K ad without intent.
So why send outbound without context?
The moment matters more than the list.
You’ve optimized LinkedIn. Referrals. Inbound.
But the quietest channel?
Still untouched.
Cold email.
No noise. No trend. Just signal.
Not louder.
Sharper.
You audit Amazon accounts.
When’s the last time you audited your outbound?
"Are you free to chat?"
Sounds polite.
Kills momentum.
It's a permission request.
Not a peer convo.
I switched to:
"What's your calendar look like to briefly discuss this?"
It assumes relevance.
Leads with confidence.
And gets sharper replies. Every time.
Everyone's chasing speed.
That's why none of it sticks.
We slow down.
No scraped signals. No guesswork.
Just quiet indicators stacking until timing makes sense.
The result?
"How do you know this?"
The edge was not the list.
It was the context.
I searched my emails for weak words:
“I think.” “Maybe.” “Perhaps.”
Weasel words.
They kill confidence.
I cut them.
“I think this could help” → “This will help.”
“Maybe we could” → “My recommendation is…”
It feels blunt.
But clarity is kindness.
CEOs don’t care about ACoS or CTR.
They care about 3 things:
→ Growth
→ Efficiency
→ Risk
I write emails that speak to those.
Not in marketing jargon,
But in plain business language.
"Leak in your funnel = lost $$" beats "Low CVR" every time.
I start emails with an empathy bridge.
A simple line that shows I get their world.
“Hope the new role’s treating you well.”
“Feels like marketers are being asked to do more with less…”
Small gesture.
Big signal.
I see you, not just your title.
My best-performing subject line?
Not clever.
Not flashy.
Just: “Quick question”
It works because:
– It’s humble
– It sparks curiosity
– It feels internal, not like a pitch
While others chase headlines, I just sound like a human.
Before I email a prospect, I run a quick test:
Tab 1: Their LinkedIn.
Tab 2: Their top competitor.
60 seconds. Back and forth.
What’s the gap?
What’s the edge?
Great insights don’t come from deep dives.
They come from contrast.
I stopped ending emails with “Do you have 15 minutes?”
Now I close with quiet confidence:
“This gap may only last until your competitor’s playbook goes public.”
No pressure. Just perspective.
The strongest ask is often invisible.
Cold emails fail because you’re storming the gates.
Be the Trojan Horse.
No pitch. No ask. Just a gift.
"Noticed a broken link."
"Quick idea for you."
No pressure. No trap.
You are not selling. You are surprising.
That's how you get in.
Ever get an email that just feels... off?
The words are fine. But your gut knows.
It’s cold. Templated. Lifeless.
Then one comes in that's raw, maybe a typo.
But you feel the person.
We polish too much.
Maybe we just need to sound human again. 🤣
Still hearing "cold email is dead" in 2025.
No, what's dead is the spam: generic blasts, "Sir/Madam," bad names. Just noise.
A real, thoughtful message, person-to-person? That's alive & rare.
And rare in a noisy world? That's profit.
