English

Generate personalized cold email sequences. Get replies and land new clients without networking events.

Steps

  1. Identify your ideal client profile: industry, company size, pain point you solve.
  2. Research 10–20 prospects on LinkedIn, company websites, and recent news.
  3. Note 1–2 personalization hooks for each (e.g., "I saw your recent blog post on X").
  4. Open an AI chat and use the prompt to generate a 3-email sequence.
  5. Customize each email with prospect name, company name, and hook.
  6. Send email 1 to a small batch (5–10 people) and track open/reply rates.
  7. Use replies and non-replies to refine the angle for email 2.
  8. Iterate and scale to 100+ prospects when reply rate exceeds 5%.
