Do cold emails still work?

A: Absolutely, but only if you know what you’re doing. If your list of prospects isn’t opening or responding to your emails, it’s time to adjust your strategy. Each cold email template will help you get the attention of your prospects and close more deals.

What makes a good cold email?

A: Running a cold email campaign is tough. You don’t have a prior relationship with the potential prospect, so it’s harder to get their attention. To give your emails a better chance of success, using an engaging email subject line is a good place to start. You should also consider using personalization, creating an email list of high-quality contacts, and narrowing down your ideal customer. That means you’ve taken the time to understand their needs and tailored your cold email pitch accordingly. Email cadences are also a big consideration (in other words, you don’t want to bombard buyers with follow-up emails). 

Is cold calling better than cold emailing?

A: There’s no clear-cut answer. Cold emailing and cold calling are both effective ways to connect with new prospects. A cold email strategy is easier to scale and track, while cold calls can deliver a more immediate response.
