Our new Leader to Follow on LinkedIn - Alan Ruchtein on his Cold Email Formula
Updated: Dec 20, 2022
"My cold emails get +40% open rate
This is my formula:
1. Introduction.
2. Reason why you reached out.
3. Offer, and why it matters.
4. Proof it works (𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺).
5. Call to action.
6. Clear next steps.
Some extra actionable items:
- Start by introducing yourself.
- Be brief (𝟣𝟢𝟢 𝘵𝘰 𝟣𝟧𝟢 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴).
- Talk about them, not you.
- Make it easy to respond.
- Give before asking.
- Be direct.
