Conclusion

Emailing a cold prospect can be tricky. However, when you stick to it, it can bring amazing results. The key to getting more clients through this method is to find email templates that work and double down on it. In order to do that, try to understand your customers better. Test out your Emails and see which templates get more replies. Additionally, know that clients won’t instantly jump on your offer. Build a relationship with the prospect and gently nudge him from being a cold prospect to warm and then hotter as he goes along the line.
