Why do most sales email templates fail?

Simply put, most email templates are based on what sales reps (and their managers and sales enablement teams) think works. Often these are email templates they used to use in a previous job (in a different industry in a different era). Times have changed. We now have data!

Does it include a cold email template?

Yup. Not one, but two. 

1. Prospecting email (#1) discusses loss aversion, words that sell and why the interest CTA is the one to use in outbound/cold emails.

2. Prospecting follow-up email (#2) stresses the importance of keeping it simple, being informative with useful insights (deliver value!), the power of a really good story, and why the interest CTA is still the go-to one in cold emails.
