Cold email that earns a reply
Write a cold email from me to {recipient role} at {company type}. Goal: {a single, small ask — a call, a reply, a yes/no}. Context I can reference (pick the most relevant, ignore the rest): {anything true — a trigger event, a shared connection, something specific about them} Rules: - Under 90 words. It must be readable on a phone lock screen. - First line is about THEM, never about me or my company. - One ask, phrased so 'no' is easy — low friction beats hard sell. - No 'I hope this email finds you well', no feature list, no calendar link in the first touch. - Give me a subject line under 5 words that isn't clickbait.

Reply rates live and die on the first line and the word count — this enforces both. The 'make no easy' rule counterintuitively lifts replies: people answer low-pressure asks. Fill the context block with something genuinely specific to the recipient (a launch, a post, a mutual contact); generic personalization tokens like {FirstName} read as automated. The 90-word cap keeps you from the feature-dump that kills cold email.
