    Cold Email Copywriting | Breakcold


    Why cold email copywriting matters?

    They say software is 'eating the world'. I'd say that copywriting is eating the world. Copywriting is key for success in cold emailing. Copywriting influence every part of your success.

    It affects your open rate

    Copywriting affects your open rate. Indeed, cold email subject lines and email first lines are key to get your emails opened.

    It affects your reply rate

    Copywriting affects your reply rate. Indeed, your sales pitch, closing line and PS line will be key to get more replies.

    It affects your deliverability

    Even if your email domains are fully warmed up, you will have deliverability problems if your copywriting is bad.

    7 rules to improve your Cold Email Copywriting

    On every sentence of your cold email, there are a few rules to follow.

    Cold Email Copywriting rule 1: keep it short

    Cold emails longer than 75 words get less 40% less responses.

    Who likes to receive emails long as route 66? No one. If you have many things to say, use your follow-up emails to add more value but don't put everything in the same email.

    Cold Email Copywriting rule 2: use a basic vocabulary

    Prospects don't like when you use fancy words. Keep it simple.

    Cold Email Copywriting rule 3: avoid links in your copy

    If you use too many HTML structure, like using images or links, you can reduce your email deliverability.

    Not all links are equal, what will make the difference is if people are clicking on it or not. If the links you insert in your email copy give lots of value to prospects, then don't remove them.

    But basic links such as signature ones are not the best.

    Cold Email Copywriting rule 4: avoid spam words

    Spam words are words that can get your cold email domain blacklisted. Getting blacklisted increase chances to go to the spam folder instead of the primary inbox.

    Some examples of spam words are: free, now or buy.

    With Breakcold AI Email Assistant, you can know if your sales copy has any spam words or not while writing your cold email.

    Cold Email Copywriting rule 5: work on your sales pitch

    Your sales pitch is the core of your cold email copywriting. If you pitch is bad, you won't get responses.

    We've talked a lot about how to structure a sales pitch in this article.

    Cold Email Copywriting rule 6: use call to actions

    Call to actions are mostly questions to activate the prospect to book a call with you.

    We've talked a lot about how to designed your cold email CTAs in this article.

    Cold Email Copywriting rule 7: personalize your emails or be relevant

    Cold email personalization is what will get you to the next level but it comes at a cost.

    My cold emails are really basic, I have basically 3 different structures that I always use.
