COLD EMAIL EXAMPLES TO LEARN FROM IN 2021 WRITTEN BY: Rachel Woods

Here are 4 Best Cold Email Examples to Use in 2021: 1. The “Congrats on the New Role” Email That Got a Prospect to Ask for a Meeting Scenario: To connect with a prospect who had just started in their role, reaching out immediately to offer congratulations and build rapport. The result? The prospect ended up asking for a meeting. Here’s the email used: “Hi ***, Just left a quick message at the office for you. I chuckled a little bit when I got an automated email this morning from your predecessor, *** who we worked with briefly, and before him, *** who we worked with as well. First and foremost, congrats on coming into this new role! I’m sure you’ve got a lot going on - so this conversation might be timely or not. If you’re stressed, this is my goto :) My role here is working with businesses (in the area) on how they can effectively and efficiently drive more traffic to their website, increase conversion, and nurture leads into customers. How was your first month kicked so far? - Caroline” This cold email example came from Saleshacker.com’s “The 6 Best Cold Emails Ever Sent – And Why They Worked,” by contributor Caroline Ostrander, Manager, Freemium Services at HubSpot. 2

2. Knowing Someone’s Connections and Past Companies is Useful Sometimes mutual connections on LinkedIn and past companies can be enough personalized context to relate to someone with cold prospecting. In this example, this prospect worked with someone who was kind of cool and interesting, so I thought I’d ask if he knew him as the thing that made him special to me. Again notice you understand the whole story by simply reading the email. Here’s the email that I sent: “Subject: Matt and your old company Hey *****, I noticed before you worked at ***** you worked at *****. Did you work with Matthew Epstein? Guy is sharp as a whip. I remember 10 years ago he made this video to try and get a job at Google. I guess it didn’t work, but it helped him get a job. Anyways, I wanted to see if you’d be up for talking? We help make life way easier for sales teams when they are prospecting...so they can spend more time doing things that a bit more thoughtful like Matt did. Things like adding prospects from LI to Salesforce with full enriched contact data are only one click. Does this seem like something that could help *****? What are your thoughts on talking more?

3. “But You Are Free” Email Persuasion You’re looking at one of the most effective persuasion techniques out there. Make a request and then tell your prospect “but you are free” to do whatever they’d like. Why it works? If you give someone a way out, it will double the chance that they say yes. This practical persuasion tactic is supported by 42 psychological studies on over 22,000 people. Example: “Hi, Yesware, First off, thanks for the epic product - you’ve made the internet a better place! EDITORIAL POLICY

“I usually get a YES. I’ve only been turned down 8 times in the 7 years I’ve been blogging.” Why it works The message is brief, focused, and friendly.
