The best cold email template isn't one that simply gives you your subject, body text, and CTA, and you plop in the specifics. Because if you're trying to convert your leads into warm prospects and finally customers, that approach won't get results. It'll leave you stressed in the middle of the night, screaming "people won't reply to my sales emails!" No, for cold sales email campaigns that work, you need to walk through the entire customer acquisition process and get every piece of the puzzle right. Use this cold email playbook to work strategically and you'll be able to improve your prospecting, get more opens and replies, and nail the high-conversion follow up flow.

you should read this ebook if...

about this ebook

Outbound strategies that get the best result are built on understanding who your customers are. When you understand who you're targeting, and why, you can convert leads and raise revenue at a pretty regular, predictable pace. It turns out successful cold emails really aren't so cold after all. You can begin your prospect targeting with these 3 initial steps: 

Using the jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) framework to identify what jobs customers hire your product to do — scenarios where they could realistically use your product to solve their problem. If you have an existing customer base, conduct interviews to discover the actual conditions of their purchase.

Scenarios in hand, translate them into job stories for different customer segments. "When I'm in this situation, I want to be able to do this particular thing, so that I can get this acceptable outcome."

Prepare for prospecting by creating an ideal customer profile and from there, individual buyer personas. Investigate your job stories and other research to build your perfect fictional B2B customer. What's their size and structure, and what vertical are they operating in? What job will they hire you to do and for which specific pain points?

Consider your own criteria as well — what makes your ideal customers valuable for you?

What we loved:

The clickable, outline-format cheat sheet at the end. We are definitely in the “don’t want to read the entire ebook” camp.

What we didn't love:

Parts of the book veer into overtly promotional territory (like how to generate target prospects in Growbots), but the overall advice is general enough and the promotional parts few enough that it doesn't detract from the reading experience

Summary:

If only outbound sales was as enjoyable as reading this ebook on outbound sales.

From the pull-out templates to the TL;DRs, every chapter of this free resource is optimized for actionability and skimmability. Here’s the irony though: we didn’t skim it. We started to, but then one valuable sentence led to the next and before we knew it, we were back at the cheat sheet.
