English
Generate personalized cold email sequences. Get replies and land new clients without networking events.
Steps
- Identify your ideal client profile: industry, company size, pain point you solve.
- Research 10–20 prospects on LinkedIn, company websites, and recent news.
- Note 1–2 personalization hooks for each (e.g., "I saw your recent blog post on X").
- Open an AI chat and use the prompt to generate a 3-email sequence.
- Customize each email with prospect name, company name, and hook.
- Send email 1 to a small batch (5–10 people) and track open/reply rates.
- Use replies and non-replies to refine the angle for email 2.
- Iterate and scale to 100+ prospects when reply rate exceeds 5%.
