[TACTICS]{

Possible opening tactics{

• Avoid opening with compliments: The speaker advises against starting emails with flattery, as it can come across as insincere and needy.

• "I know you're busy" opener: This approach acknowledges the recipient's time constraints while introducing your message.

• "I noticed" opener: This approach highlights a specific issue you've observed about their business.

} Addressing your prospect by name is a must . Then, any other detail that you can mention, such as the company name, the exact job title, or recent company news, shows that you did your research . The more you know about your prospect, the higher the chances of getting a response. Make sure your one-to-one communication doesn't look like one-to-many.

Establishing context for why you're reaching out is crucial. In cold emails, clearly explain why you're contacting them and how it relates to their current situation.

Look for common ground or a relevant pain point. Mentioning any shared challenge or industry trend can create a connection. It could be a recent industry development, a common business challenge, or a shared professional interest.

Highlight a problem: Many of these approaches involve pointing out a potential issue in the recipient's business that you can help solve.

You should seem genuinely interested and helpful, not desperate for a sale. The email should feel like you're opening a dialogue, not pushing for an immediate decision.

The call-to-action should be soft and low-commitment. Assume they are busy. Ask for their thoughts or a brief conversation, not a demo or sales call at this stage.

Focus on providing value or insight in your email. This could be a relevant statistic, a helpful resource, or an observation about their industry.
