Shoutout to Bravado for the meme
I’m obsessed with the art of writing great cold emails.
So whenever I get an outbound email that catches my attention, I’ll save it.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Day 1 Email:
This is my go to for kicking off an outbound sequence or sending one-off.
Four sentences. That’s all you need.
Signals to use - hiring, growth, job changes, product launch etc.
Ideas to try - reference their boss, investors, competitors etc.

Challenge Emails:
I love the subject line and first sentence here.
A relevant question + personal reference will help improve your open rates.
Challenge the status quo, then tease the promise land.

Forwarding Emails:
Was skeptical of this play. The data made me a believer.
Avg day 1 email reply for our SDRs = 3%
Avg day 1 email reply with forwarded = 6.1%
This is a template you can create to make prospects feel exclusive (see below).
Best to get your CXOs approval first.

Funny Emails:
99% emails are text only and boring to read. So most get ignored.
A good meme always hits.
Typically, these work best as a 3rd or 4th email in your sequence.

Templates to Copy
For your convenience, I added each of these into a doc for you to copy/paste.
