Cold Email Prospecting: Strategies and Templates from Writing 10,000 Emails for 550 Companies

Success starts with clearly defined buyer segments and focusing each email on a specific pain point. Instead of fully custom emails, she recommends using templates enhanced with relevant, non-obvious details (e.g., hiring trends or company changes) to keep outreach efficient but authentic.
