How do you write a cold email that 
generates dozens of warm leads?
…Versus an email that no one opens?
STEP #1 WHO? 
Understand Your Audience
STEP #2: THE PROBLEM 
Learn your prospects’ pain points
STEP #3: SOLUTION 
Solve their problems
STEP #4 SOCIAL PROOF: 
Show your value, don’t tell
STEP #5: CALL TO ACTION 
What’s their incentive?
THE PROBLEM: 
Our inboxes are full of 
impersonal sales junk.
THE CONSEQUENCE: 
We build walls to guard our time
Your goal is to get 
past people’s walls.
So how can you get past the wall 
and get a warm call?
KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE: 
Different Prospects Build 
Different Kinds of Walls
OPTION 1: Social Engineering 
“The Trojan Horse
OPTION 2: Just Knock 
“Intro Requests”/Permission
OPTION 3: Offer Gold 
Give them what they desire.
All walls are not the same! 
COMBINE & AB TEST 
EVERYTHING!
Don’t write bad cold emails like these! 
….PLEASE!
Example of a Bad Cold Email
Problem #1: SELFISH 
Focus more on your prospects!
Problem #2: ALL FEATURES 
Transform features to benefits
Problem #3: TOO SALESY 
“Taking Pants Off on First Date”
The Email that Got 16 New Customers
The First Sentence 
• Question/Bold Statement 
• Fear of Loss/Value
The Value Story 
• Social Proof 
• Numbers/Stats 
• Show, don’t tell value
The Call to Action 
• Incentivize 
• Specific time or “When”?
