📋 Template
Subject: Quick question about [Company]'s [specific area] Hi [Name], I came across [Company] while researching [industry/niche], and I noticed [specific observation about their business — e.g., "your blog hasn't been updated since October" or "your landing page doesn't have a clear CTA above the fold"]. I help [type of business] with [your service] — and I've helped similar companies [specific result, e.g., "increase email open rates by 34%" or "cut content production time in half"]. Would it make sense to chat for 15 minutes this week? I have a couple of ideas specific to [Company] that I think could help. Best, [Your Name] [Your Website/Portfolio]
💡 Pro Tip
Send between Tuesday and Thursday, 9-11am in the recipient's timezone. Personalize the [specific observation] — generic emails get deleted. Specificity = credibility.
