Looking to draft a cold email that stands out and actually works?

You're in the right place!

Let's glide through Luna's founders' tried-and-tested insights. 🌙

Why Cold Emails Fail

Too long, too boastful, too unclear.

These common pitfalls are unfortunately the norm in cold emailing. But with Luna's insights, you'll sail smoothly past them!

Key Takeaways:

  • Lengthy rambles that lose interest

  • Cluttered format, visually overwhelming

  • Selling features, not the dream

Luna's Cold Email Secrets

Benefits:

  • Direct, succinct messaging

  • Improved reader engagement and readability

  • Greater response and conversion rates

Practical Example:

Imagine sending this concise, outcome-focused email:

If you only read one section, make it this one!

Key Tips:

  • Keep it short: 75 words or less. Be succinct yet impactful.

    Attention spans are short. Your recipient is busy. Respect their time.

  • Whitespace is your friend: Break up your content. It increases readability and makes your email look cleaner.

  • Sell the dream: Don't go on about features. Instead, focus on the outcomes the recipient can achieve with your service.

  • Attention to detail: Ensure names and company references are accurate. Errors can discredit your entire email.

  • Consistent follow-ups: Think you've followed up enough? Send one more. Persistence pays off.

  • Begin with rapport: Your initial email shouldn’t come off as a sales pitch. Don’t directly ask for someone’s most valuable asset first: their time. Build a connection first, like striking up a casual conversation in a bar.

Pro Tips & Tricks

Why These Tips Matter:

  • Enhance recipient engagement

  • Maximize positive responses

  • Reflect professionalism and genuine interest

Personalization vs. Personal Touch
