Personalization is one of the golden rules of cold emailing<\/span><\/a>. Throughout this blog, you\u2019ll find many arguments behind using personalized snippets in your email<\/span> copy. The more personalized it is, the higher the chance of getting a reply.<\/p>\n

Advanced personalization snippets require a bit more effort to find than just the basic ones, such as \u2018name\u2019 and \u2018company\u2019, but you can make this process easier by using social listening tools. Keep reading to find out how to use them to better personalize your cold mailing campaigns.<\/p>\n

Why does personalizing cold emails matter so much?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with the basics. Why is personalization so important?<\/p>\n

There are two aspects that come into play here.<\/p>\n

#1 It influences email deliverability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For starters, personalization is key to getting good deliverability\u00a0 <\/a>when you\u2019re sending emails<\/span> at scale. If you send dozens or hundreds of the same email<\/span>, SPAM filters might take you for a spammer. The filters scan the emails<\/span> and \u201cread\u201d every few words. If they happen to be the same in every email<\/span>, the filters may get triggered and send your emails<\/span> to the SPAM folder or stop them from being delivered altogether. Advanced personalization signals that the messages are being sent by a real human being.<\/p>\n

#2 It gets you replies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Personalization also plays a crucial role in forging trust with the recipients of your emails<\/span> and, as a result, possibly getting a higher positive reply rate. When prospects see there\u2019s a real person on the other side, they\u2019re more likely to reply.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the only element of your cold outreach that matters, but it\u2019s a significant one. If you send personalized messages to the right prospects at the right time, chances are you get truly great results.<\/p>\n
