Three questions: What’s the little big thing that makes our cold email interesting from the very first line? What makes our prospect feel that we really care about talking to them? What changes generic bulk emails into personal valuable messages? One answer: Personal touch. And note that putting in our addressee’s first name in the salutation is not enough nowadays. Here’s how to add a personal touch to a cold email campaign in 3 steps.<\/p>\n
That’s the most laborious step of all the three. I wouldn’t say I’m actually happy when I have to do that before launching my cold email campaigns. But I’m definitely happy when those personalized campaigns bring over 50% reply rates<\/a>. That’s when I’m overjoyed. And that’s when I forget how much time I’ve spent searching for info on my prospects to add a personal touch to every email.<\/p>\n This step will be fun for those who always wanted to be detectives or those who deeply analyze all their friends’ (and the friends’ of their friends’) Facebook profiles. There are a few places that are mines of information about your prospective clients.\u00a0Check the link below for the list of places and some practical details.HOW TO MAKE MY COLD EMAILS PERSONAL?
