Best and Worst - Cold Emails Received

video cover

We’ve talked a lot about cold emails in the War Room, and have had some really burning questions about them:


  • How many cold emails should one send?
  • What’s the best time of the day to send them?
  • What content should we use?
  • To what degree do we customize it?
  • What’s the perfect subject line?

yada. yada. yada...



I’m sure you’ve all used your own unique tips n tricks to get that prospect to respond to your cold email.


But what if we jump on the other side of the prospecting fence for a minute? Do you remember receiving any cold emails that simply stood out? Here,@sahil shares his own experience of being on the other side.


In this video, he discusses the best and worst cold emails he’s received recently. Coincidentally, the (best) cold email he received recently was relevant - about the War Room - and its community manager (someone named "Gasty" apparently).



Savages, open your inbox and check some cold emails you got recently.


Were they good? Bad? Horrible? Freakin’ awesome?


Do you remember the best and worst cold emails you’ve received?

This just shows tailoring an email is key to setting meetings and quality outreach is key comparing to quantity.

The only thing is most prospects arent posting about pains they are facing on LinkedIn or social media. So reps make assumptions on problems they are facing based off their title which can be WAY off sometimes.

Thats why bottom up approach can be so effective. get a meeting with an end user to explain the issues, which will allow you to build a super tailored email to the CXO
