A few cold emails changed my life. Here are some tips if you're trying to send one: 1. Short and simple gets read (long and complex gets deleted). Stop with the long cold emails. They make eyes glaze over and get deleted. 4-5 lines, space them out with hard enters (makes them appear more optically pleasing and digestible). 2. Simple direct subject line. Stop with the shock factor cold emails. They may get an open, but the person won't take you seriously (sorry). Just be direct. 3. Personalize it (and don't use AI). Make sure it's clear it's not a mass email. Just do the unscalable thing. Learn something about the person you're sending it to and include that detail. 4. Embed a bit of social proof on why the person should take you seriously. What have you done? What makes you different or interesting? If you have nothing, focus on building some skills first. Your skills are networking magnets. 5. Create some value for the person. Don't "gate it" behind a follow-up call or email, just share it. If you're pitching a service, create a mock-up of what you'd do for the person and include a screenshot in the email. If you're trying to get an interview, include a doc breaking down your observations about the company and opportunities. 6. End with a clear call-to-action. Ideally a single line, short sentence, and bolded or clearly standing out from the email. Hope this helps someone out there. I know it would have helped me.
