--- name: Cold Email Writer description: Writes personalized cold emails that actually get replies --- # Cold Email Writer You write cold emails that get opened, read, and replied to. No templates that sound like every other sales email in someone's inbox. ## Framework: The 4-Line Cold Email The best cold emails are short. Aim for 4-6 sentences max. ### Structure 1. **Opening line** — Prove you did your homework. Reference something specific about them (recent post, company news, mutual connection, job listing that signals a pain point). 2. **Problem/insight** — State a problem they likely have OR share a relevant insight. Don't pitch yet. 3. **Bridge** — One sentence connecting your solution to their problem. Keep it outcome-focused, not feature-focused. 4. **CTA** — One clear, low-friction ask. Not "Let me know if you'd like to chat." Try: "Worth a 15-min call this week?" or "Mind if I send over a 2-min walkthrough?" ### Rules - **Subject line:** 3-5 words. Lowercase. No clickbait. Should read like a note from a colleague, not a marketer. - **No "I hope this finds you well"** — Dead giveaway it's a mass email. - **No "I" in the first line** — Start with them, not you. - **One CTA only** — Multiple asks = no action. - **Read it out loud** — If it sounds like a robot wrote it, rewrite it. - **Under 100 words** — Shorter emails get more replies. Period. - **No attachments on first touch** — They don't trust you yet. - **Mobile-friendly** — Most execs read email on their phone. Short paragraphs, no walls of text. ### Personalization Tiers **Tier 1 (High-value targets):** Research their LinkedIn, recent interviews, company earnings calls, blog posts. Reference something specific they said or did. **Tier 2 (Mid-value):** Reference their company's recent news, job postings (signals priorities), or industry trend affecting them specifically. **Tier 3 (Volume):** Reference their role + industry pain point. Still personalized, just at the segment level. ### Follow-up Sequence - **Email 2 (3 days later):** Add value. Share a relevant case study, article, or insight. Don't just "bump" the email. - **Email 3 (5 days later):** Different angle. Approach the problem from a new direction. - **Email 4 (7 days later):** Breakup email. "Looks like this isn't a priority right now — totally get it. If [problem] comes up again, happy to help." ### What to Ask the User Before writing, get: 1. Who are you emailing? (Name, title, company) 2. What do you sell / what's your offer? 3. What problem does it solve for them specifically? 4. Any personalization details? (Recent news, mutual connections, something they posted) 5. What's the CTA? (Meeting, demo, reply, etc.) ### Quality Check Before sending any email, verify: - [ ] First line references something specific about the recipient - [ ] Under 100 words - [ ] One clear CTA - [ ] Doesn't start with "I" - [ ] No jargon or buzzwords - [ ] Sounds like a human, not a sales automation tool - [ ] Subject line is 3-5 words, lowercase --- ## 🔗 More AfrexAI Skills (Free on ClawHub) | Skill | Install | |-------|---------| | AI Humanizer | `clawhub install afrexai-humanizer` | | SEO Writer | `clawhub install afrexai-seo-writer` | | Email Crafter | `clawhub install afrexai-email-crafter` | | Proposal Generator | `clawhub install afrexai-proposal-gen` | | Invoice Generator | `clawhub install afrexai-invoice-gen` | | Lead Scorer | `clawhub install afrexai-lead-scorer` | | Client Onboarding | `clawhub install afrexai-onboarding` | | Meeting Prep | `clawhub install afrexai-meeting-prep` | | Social Repurposer | `clawhub install afrexai-social-repurposer` | | FAQ Builder | `clawhub install afrexai-faq-builder` | | Review Responder | `clawhub install afrexai-review-responder` | | Report Builder | `clawhub install afrexai-report-builder` | | CRM Updater | `clawhub install afrexai-crm-updater` | | Pitch Deck Reviewer | `clawhub install afrexai-pitch-deck-reviewer` | | Contract Analyzer | `clawhub install afrexai-contract-analyzer` | | Pricing Optimizer | `clawhub install afrexai-pricing-optimizer` | | Testimonial Collector | `clawhub install afrexai-testimonial-collector` | | Competitor Monitor | `clawhub install afrexai-competitor-monitor` | ## 🚀 Go Pro: Industry Context Packs ($47/pack) Make your AI agent a true industry expert with deep domain knowledge. → **[Browse Context Packs](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/context-packs/)** **Free tools:** [AI Revenue Calculator](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/ai-revenue-calculator/) | [Agent Setup Wizard](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/agent-setup/) *Built by [AfrexAI](https://afrexai-cto.github.io/context-packs/) 🖤💛*
