How to find 80%+ valid emails in one click

‍

Too many cold emails start with “Hi, my name is…” or “To introduce myself…”

Prospects aren’t interested in who you are and what you do. They’re interested in how you can help them achieve their goals. 💡

To measure this, we grouped emails by how frequently they talked about the prospect. To quantify “mentioning the prospect,” we measured the number of times the email included the word “you,” “your,” “yours,” etc.

And we found that, out of millions of cold emails, the ones that most mentioned the prospect got the highest average booking rates:

So what does this mean for your cold email copywriting?

Make your prospect the focus of every cold email, not you.

Here’s an example:

Here, Gina starts her email with a long section talking only about herself and her company. There is no hook to draw the reader in, nor is it immediately clear what her connection is to the prospect.

Here’s another version of the same outreach email, this time focusing on the prospect:

This email only mentions the sender’s company one time and devotes the rest of the email to the prospect’s company and needs.

She shows that she knows the prospect by congratulating her on the company’s funding round, and she makes it clear what the prospect can get out of this email.

We’ve analyzed millions of outreach campaigns to discover that, to the right audience, images increase conversion rates.

In fact, campaigns with images can have as much as a 42% higher click-through-rate than those without them 👇

So, how to use images in cold emails for more replies?

The key is to personalize images for each prospect.

75% of people are more likely to buy from someone who recognizes their name, recommends things based on their profile, and knows their history.

So when you add images to your campaigns, make them specific to the prospect. You can do that by adding text and image variables to the visual itself.

This email campaign got a 92% open rate and a 32% reply rate 👇

Here’s why this image brought a high reply rate:

→ It’s catchy, with a clear call to action

→ It calls out the prospect by name

→ The text communicates the message even if the image doesn’t show up

→ It’s simple and adds to the text, without distracting from it

The personalization worked so well that prospects responded asking for tips 💪
