What is Cold E-mailing?
“A cold email is an unsolicited e-mail that is sent to a receiver
without prior contact or a request for information previously.
Cold emails are different from spam mails. If some proper
procedures are not followed, a cold email could become a
spam mail”

Tailor-Made for Basecamp
Hello Jason,
Hope your holiday weekend went great. I'm outreaching to you because of two reasons:
#1. I would like to congratulate you on a great book!
"Rework" provided me with some great values. I really like that you cut the unnecessary content and delivered
just the essentials - it makes it an amazing piece, so pleasant to reread.
#2. I would like to ask you for some insights.
I 'd be happy to find out if our solution could boost sales and simplify support for Basecamp. I know that you
have an excellent support and use Twitter for customer inquiries.
Have you thought about doing it via chat straight on your page and help more customers?

Tailor-Made for IKEA
Hello Siri,
I’m outreaching to you because yesterday I had a call with Corey Walwalski, Customer Support Team Leader
at IKEA Canada.
Corey’s team is using our tool to chat with website visitors, answering their questions regarding an order,
tracking which products/landing pages are the most visited ones and converting visitors into customers. After
implementing LiveChat on their website, the conversation rate increased in 25%.
How about your customer service and sales goals? Is there anything missing at your current customer support
service that prevents you from selling to more customers online?

15.
End it with a question
5.
- focus on your goal
- be specific
- be clear

“Bonjour ! I read your profile and think we might get along; want to grab coffee some time
next week?”
No response. Wait one day. Second shot:
Perhaps I can tempt you with some pastries instead?
I know of place with fruit tarts, chocolate pies, and macaroons. :)”
No response. Wait one day. Third attempt:
“Fine, if you don’t like coffee nor pastries, we can do tea. How does tea sound?”
Her:
“You’re confident, I like that. Tea sounds good :)”.
Bingo. But I wasn’t confident, I was automated.

Hello {{FIRST_NAME}},
I just realised I haven't received a reply from you and I'd like to give you more info on us.
I've been talking with a lot of e-commerce business' lately and most of them want to:
- Convert more website visitors into buying customers
- Increase customer happiness, loyalty, and retention
- Gather higher quality leads with more data about them.
Are you aiming for similar improvements at {{COMPANY}}?

30.
Hi {{FIRST_NAME}},
I’m staying persistent here since I sense a possible fit. I’ve asked our e-commerce clients about their experience
before LiveChat. Without our tool they were:
- Losing customers due to worse engagement
- Missing new sales opportunities
- Having a higher cart abandonment rate
Have you been working on those issues too?

Hi {{FIRST_NAME}},
I still haven't got any response from you. I'm guessing it's just a polite way to say "thanks, but no thanks".
I hope you don't mind me taking you off my contact list.
If at any point you would like to get in touch, I would be more than happy to reopen the topic.
Best of luck to you and {{COMPANY}}!
