What This Skill Does

Input: Target industry + your solution Output: Cold email templates, LinkedIn messages, follow-up sequences

Cold Email Formula (That Works)

Subject: [Specific Pain Point Question] Example: "Managing 200+ inspections/​month in Excel?"

Body (5 sentences max):

Sentence 1: Specific observation about their business "I noticed [Company] handles fire inspections for commercial buildings in [City]."

Sentence 2: Common pain point "Most inspection companies I work with struggle with [specific problem]."

Sentence 3: Brief solution hint "I build custom software that [specific benefit]."

Sentence 4: Social proof "Built similar system for [Company] - saved them 15 hours/​week."

Sentence 5: Soft CTA "Worth a 15-min call to see if this makes sense for you?"

Signature [Your Name] [Your Title] [Calendar Link]

LinkedIn Connection Message

"Hi [Name], I work with [industry] companies to solve [specific problem]. Thought it might be worth connecting."

Follow-up after connection: "Thanks for connecting! I noticed [Company] does [their work]. Quick question - how do you currently handle [their pain point]? Most [industry] businesses I talk to struggle with that."

Follow-Up Sequence

Day 0: Initial outreach Day 3: "Hi [Name], following up on my note from Monday. Curious if [pain point] is something you're dealing with?" Day 7: "Last note from me! If [problem] isn't a priority right now, no worries. But if it is, happy to show you what we built for [Similar Company]."

Stop after 3 touches. Don't be annoying.

What Gets Responses

✅ Specific: "Managing HVAC service calls" not "running your business" ✅ Relevant: Mention their actual work ✅ Brief: 5 sentences max ✅ Social proof: Name similar companies you helped ✅ Easy CTA: Calendar link, not "let me know when you're free"

What Kills Response Rates

❌ Generic: "I help businesses save time and money" ❌ Long: 3+ paragraphs ❌ Salesy: "Limited time offer! Act now!" ❌ Desperate: "Please respond!" ❌ Hard pitch: Pricing and features in first email

Template Library

Template #1: The Observation Subject: Saw you're hiring [role]

Body: "Hi [Name], noticed you're hiring a [dispatcher/​admin/​etc].

That's usually a sign you're growing fast and current systems can't keep up.

I build software for [industry] that lets you grow without hiring more admin staff. Built similar system for [Company] - they handle 2x the volume with same team now.

Worth a quick call?"

Template #2: The Problem Subject: [Pain point question]

Body: "Hi [Name],

Quick question: How do you currently [painful process]?

Most [industry] companies waste 10-15 hours/​week on this manually.

I build custom software that automates it. [Company] used to spend 15 hours/​week, now it's automated.

15-min call to show you how it works?"

Template #3: The Referral Subject: [Mutual connection] suggested I reach out

Body: "Hi [Name],

[Mutual Connection] mentioned you might be interested in [solution to pain point].

I recently built [specific software] for [their competitor]. Saved them 20 hours/​week and $80K/​year.

Worth exploring if similar solution makes sense for [Their Company]?"

Volume Strategy

Outreach Math:

• 100 cold emails sent
• 5-10% response rate = 5-10 responses
• 50% book calls = 2-5 discovery calls
• 40% convert = 1-2 new clients

To get 1 client/​month: Send 20-25 outreach emails/​week

Remember

Cold outreach is a numbers game. Most won't respond. That's okay.

Focus on:

1. Specific, relevant messages
2. Volume (20-30/​week consistently)
3. Follow-ups (3 touches max)
4. Easy CTA (calendar link)

Do this every week. You'll book calls. Calls turn into clients.
