"After doing some brief research on [Enter Company Name Here], I know we can..."

If you include this email in your automated template, which is already highly impersonal and lacking in value, here is how I will respond:


"Hi Kyle/Ryan/Brad/Jeremy/Logam/Alex/Brian,


Please show me the research and state how you will save me time/money/from killing you, and I may consider setting up a call.


Thanks,

PBC"


Please, please, PLEASE, for the love of @paddy, stop using this line. Research is a requirement in prospecting, so stop telling me you did it. Tell me what you found, how you can help, and ask for my time. That's it.

That LT badge looks good on you! Dropping straight facts as usual. Anytime I see an SDR send that same template I lose a year off my life. At this point I think I’m set to die at 37

I don’t know @poweredbycaffeine 2021 is the year of people doing their own research and coming up with very questionable results. Might wanna hear these guys out!

But PBC after ALL of the research I did, I definitely know more about your company than you do, why would I spill the beans on the first email and show you my cards that I truly know nothing.

Lol what a stupid statement. Unless they've combed through your financials and have insider information as to how you operate and what services you use how in the fresh hell would they KNOW they can save you money? These people deserve to be roasted.

I like the opposite approach, "I don't know sh*t about your company, do you have a few minutes to let me know if I should sell to you? 🤣
