The Art of the First Impression: Writing Cold Emails That Get Opened

Here are some tips on how to make a great first impression with your cold emails so they actually get opened:

  • Catchy Subject Line: Your subject line should grab attention and give the recipient a reason to open the email. Make it relevant and specific to their interests.
  • Personal Touch: Use the recipient’s name and reference something specific about them or their company early in the email. This shows you’re not sending a mass email.
  • Clear Purpose: Quickly make clear why you’re emailing. The first few sentences should get to the point about what you want and what you can offer.
  • Be Brief and Direct: Keep your email concise. Long emails can be off-putting when you don’t have an established relationship.
  • Call to Action: End with a simple, clear action you want them to take, like a request for a quick call or a meeting.

By following these tips, you’re more likely to make a strong first impression that encourages the recipient to engage with your email.
