cold-email

Write like a peer, not a vendor: lead with the prospect's world, keep every sentence earning its place, and use one low-friction CTA. Structure it with a framework like Observation → Problem → Proof → Ask, and keep it under 75 words for the best reply rates.

Send 3-5 total emails with increasing gaps between them (day 0, 3, 7-8, 14, 21-28). Each follow-up must add something new such as a different angle, fresh proof, or a useful resource, and the final touch should be a breakup email.

Short, lowercase, internal-looking subject lines of 2-4 words perform best, such as "reply rates" or "hiring ops". Avoid first names, urgency words, emojis, numbers, and anything that looks like a sales pitch, since these reduce opens and replies.

No. Automated nurture or drip campaigns for opted-in leads are lifecycle emails, not cold outreach. That scenario belongs to the email-sequence skill, while this skill covers unsolicited outbound prospecting emails only.

Opens without replies usually mean the body fails on relevance or ask: it is sender-focused, too long, uses jargon, or requests too much (like a 30-minute call). Rewrite around the prospect's problem with one proof point and a low-friction, interest-based CTA.
