SaaS Cold Email: Best Way of Lead Generation for SaaS Companies in 2025

I just checked my spam folder and found a $40,000 deal sitting there. 

Not kidding. It was a reply to a cold email we’d written weeks ago.

Here’s another plot twist that changed everything: our most successful sales campaign in 2025 started with a cold email. 

Not a viral TikTok, not a LinkedIn ad campaign, not even one of those fancy AI-powered tools. Just a simple, well-written cold email that generated more qualified leads than all our other channels combined.

Shocking, right? 

Especially when you consider that 99% of companies are already using SaaS products. 

You’d think breaking through would be impossible. 

The market is saturated, decision-makers are overwhelmed, and everyone’s fighting for attention. Yet somehow, this “cold emailing” approach is outperforming everything else.

What I’m about to share isn’t just another “how to write saas cold emails” guide. It’s a complete reimagining of what’s possible when you combine the simplicity of email with the sophistication of modern SaaS sales. 

Do Decision Makers Still Respond to SaaS Cold Emails?

“Just got another cold email,” my CEO friend texted me, followed by an eye-roll emoji. 

Two hours later: “Hey, don’t laugh, but I just booked a demo with them.”

The same executives who publicly rant about inbox clutter are privately making six-figure decisions based on well-written cold emails. 

Don’t ask me

You know what’s fascinating, while “thought leaders” flood LinkedIn with declarations about the death of saas cold email, real decision-makers are quietly opening, reading, and – yes – responding to them. 

Not the spam-like mass mailings, but something entirely different. 

Something that’s working so well in 2025 that companies are desperately trying to gatekeep.

I know what you’re thinking: “Sure, but my target audience is different.” 

Or maybe, “Cold email might work for some industries, but not mine.” 

I thought the same thing until I discovered what was really happening behind the scenes of successful SaaS sales teams in 2025. 

How to Begin Cold Email Outreach for Your SaaS

Why do some saas cold emails get responses while others die in spam folders? 

When we started our outreach program, our response rate was a pathetic 0.5%. Today? We’re hitting 62%. 

Here’s the exact playbook we used.

1. Define Your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

Let’s look at a typical scenario you might face:

You’re probably targeting companies with 1000+ employees and $50M+ revenue because that’s what conventional wisdom suggests. But as Matthew points out above, true success in cold emailing isn’t about volume – it’s about precision.

But if you dig deeper into your customer data, you might find something surprising. 

Your most successful customers could be B2B SaaS companies with 50-200 employees, growing at 40%+ year-over-year, led by a Head of Sales who’s relatively new to their role.

Think about why this hyper-specific profile works. 

When you shift your focus from chasing enterprise to targeting companies that fit this precise profile, you’ll likely see your conversion rates skyrocket. 

One SaaS company reported their success rate tripled after making this exact pivot.

Here’s your action plan: 

List your top 5 customers who make you think, “I wish all our customers were like them.” Ignore their size and prestige. 

Look for patterns in their:

• Industry position (are they leaders or challengers?)
• Growth stage (stable, scaling, or mature?)
• Decision-maker profiles (technical founders vs. business leaders?)
• Common pain points (what kept them up at night?)
• Implementation success factors (what made them adopt quickly?)

Trust me, your ideal customer profile will look different from what you imagine. 

And that’s exactly why this exercise is so powerful.

2. Build Your Prospect List

Remember the days of manually copying and pasting LinkedIn profiles into spreadsheets? 

Not happening again. 

Building prospect lists in 2025 doesn’t have to be the soul-crushing task it used to be. 

In fact, I’m about to show you how to build a killer list while keeping your sanity (and maybe even having some fun along the way).

1. LinkedIn

LinkedIn and LinkedIn Sales Navigator are like having X-ray vision into your target market. 

“But wait,” you might say, “isn’t manual LinkedIn prospecting a huge time sink?”

Not anymore. 

Combine Sales Navigator with tools like GrowMeOrganic and suddenly you’re scraping leads in bulk. 

You can:

• Target companies that actually match your ICP 
• Find decision-makers who are actually interested
• Export data in bulk (legally!!)
• Get verified emails (no more bounced emails!)

2. B2B Databases

Look, I know what you’re thinking: “Ugh, another pitch for expensive databases.” 

But hear me out.

Modern B2B platforms like GrowMeOrganic are nothing like those sketchy contact lists you bought in 2023. 

We’re talking:

• 575M+ verified B2B contacts
• Real-time email verification
• Company technographic data
• Direct phone numbers
• Accurate company information

3. The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” Approach

Why stick to one channel when you can be everywhere your prospects are? 

You can:

• Scrape from GrowMeOrganic’s Google My Business Extractor (local business goldmine)
• Pull website contacts (you can use website scrapers)
• Tap into company databases (a reliable one!!)

Pro Tips (From Someone Who Learned the Hard Way)

1. Start Small, Think Big
   
   Test with 100 contacts first. Trust me, you’ll thank me when you’re not dealing with 1,000 unqualified leads.
   
2. Follow the Money
   
   • Who’s raising funding? (They’ve got budget!)
   • Who’s hiring like crazy? (They’ve got problems to solve!)
   • Who’s engaging with your competitors? (They’re already interested!)

Look, prospecting doesn’t have to be painful. With these tools and techniques, you can build a list of prospects that actually want to hear from you. 

And isn’t that the whole point?

But first, go build that list of 100 perfect prospects. Trust me, the right list makes everything else easier.

3. Create Your Email Template

You know those “proven” templates everyone swears by? 

The ones that start with “I hope this email finds you well” and end with “looking forward to your response”? 

Yeah, let’s throw those in the trash.

Why Do Traditional Templates Fail? 

Open your spam folder right now. Notice something? 

Every B2B email looks identical:

• Short and “punchy”
• Lots of bullet points
• A clear “value proposition”
• That dreaded “quick question” subject line

With only 8.5% of outreach emails receiving a response, it’s clear why: when everyone follows the same “best practices,” nobody stands out.”

The Template Approach That Actually Works

Here’s what’s actually working in 2025:

1. Longer Emails (Yes, Really)

While everyone else is writing two-sentence emails because “executives are busy,” try this: 

Write like a human having a conversation. 

Why? Because too short emails now scream “automated sequence!”

2. Skip the Fancy Formatting

• No bold text
• Not excessive bullet points
• No corporate logos
• Just plain text, like you’d send to a colleague

3. Controversial Subject Lines

Forget “Quick question about {Company}”.

Instead, try something that makes them think: “This might be a terrible idea for {Company}” or “Wrong about {Industry Problem}?”

4. The Pattern Interrupt Opening

Instead of “I hope this email finds you well,” try:

“I know cold emails are usually terrible, and this might be one of them, but…”

or

“You probably get dozens of emails about {pain point}. This one’s different because I’m going to tell you what we can’t do.”

The Template Structure That’s Working Now

Here’s your new framework:

1. Opening: Acknowledge the elephant in the room (yes, this is a cold email)
2. Bridge: Show you’ve done your homework (specific to them, not their company)
3. Value: Tell a relevant customer story (not a feature list)
4. Close: Make a small, specific ask (not “15 minutes of your time”)

Here’s a very simple example: 

This works because it:

• Shows you’re a real person who did real research
• Creates curiosity through honesty
• Avoids triggering spam filters with traditional sales language
• Makes responding feel like a conversation, not a commitment

Your goal isn’t to sell in the first email. 

It’s to start a conversation that feels genuine and interesting.

Warning: When you first try this, your marketing team might freak out. That’s normal. Show them the results after a month, and they’ll calm down.

4. Use a Cold Email Software

Are you managing cold email campaigns from your regular inbox? 

It’s like trying to run a restaurant from your home kitchen— technically possible, but a recipe for chaos.

Why Do You Need Dedicated Cold Email Software? 

Let me paint you a picture of life without proper cold email software:

• Manually tracking who opened your emails (impossible)
• Guessing when to follow up (and probably getting it wrong)
• Copy-pasting templates over and over (mind-numbing)
• No idea which emails actually work (shooting in the dark)
• Your emails landing in spam (ouch!)

Let’s fix that.

Getting Started with GrowMeOrganic (The 15-Minute Setup)

So, before we dive into the drip campaign setup, let me tell you about something really cool – GrowMeOrganic’s 14-day free trial. (It’s honestly the best way to test everything out without spending a dime!)

Here’s what you get with the free trial:

• Takes just 30 seconds to sign up (No credit card needed – I love that!)
• Full 14 days of access to test every single feature
• About 200 credits to play with all the tools
• Complete access to the drip campaign feature

Now, once you’re signed up, let’s dive into setting up your drip campaign…

So, let’s dive into setting up your drip campaign in GrowMeOrganic. 

I’ll break it down into super simple steps that you can follow right away. (Trust me, once you get this right, your outreach will become way more effective!)

First things first, log in to your GrowMeOrganic dashboard. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Start Your Campaign Setup
   

• Head over to “My email campaigns” from your dashboard.

• Click that “Create a campaign” button to get started

• Choose your campaign type (You’ll see different options, but pick what matches your goals)

2. Configure Your Campaign Settings
   (This is crucial – get these settings right to avoid the spam folder!)

• Set up human-like delays between emails
• Add your sending schedule
• Configure your daily sending limits

3. Create Your Email Sequence

• Pick or create your email templates
• Select the list where you want to save converted contacts
• Click on “Update configuration of this campaign”

• Hit that “Start the campaign” button when you’re ready

4. Set Up Lead Scoring
   (This is where it gets interesting. You can track who’s most interested!)

• Go to “CRM/Lead scoring”

• Click “Configure”.

• Assign points for different actions:
  • Email opens
  • Link clicks
  • Replies
  • Custom events

5. Connect Your Email Provider

• Navigate to “Senders (SMTP)”

• Click “Connect a SMTP (Sender)”

• Enter your email provider details

• Test the connection (Always do this before launching!)

Always monitor your campaign statistics by clicking “View statistics” after launch. This helps you optimize your future campaigns.

And here’s the best part – if you love what you see during your trial (which I’m pretty sure you will), you can upgrade to one of their paid plans:

• Starter Plan ($39/month): Great for occasional prospecting
• Growth Plan ($79/month): For unlimited credits
• Pro Plan ($159/month): For unlimited seats

(Remember) You can always start with the free trial to get a feel for the platform before committing to a paid plan.

The goal isn’t to blast thousands of emails. It’s to send the right message to the right person at the right time. GrowMeOrganic helps you do exactly that.

5. Start Small and Test

Why blast 1,000 cold emails before testing what works? 

Let me introduce you to a smarter way to launch your cold email campaigns.

The “10-10-10” Testing Method

Here’s how it works:

Day 1: Send 10 Emails

• Pick your 10 “warmest” prospects
• Use 2 different subject lines (5 each)
• Send during prime business hours (Tuesday-Thursday)
• Wait 24 hours to check results

Day 3: Send Another 10

• Adjust based on first batch results
• Try a new opening line variation
• Test a different call-to-action
• Monitor open and reply rates

Day 5: Final 10

• Use your best-performing elements
• Fine-tune personalization
• Perfect your timing
• Analyze overall patterns

Why This Method Works

You’ll:

• Identify spam trigger words
• Spot personalization issues
• Test email deliverability
• Get real response data
• Save your domain reputation

Pro Tip: Use GrowMeOrganic’s A/B testing feature to automatically track which versions perform better. The platform will show you exactly which elements (subject lines, opening lines, CTAs) are getting the best engagement.

Only scale when you hit these benchmarks:

• Open rate > 50%
• Reply rate > 15%
• Spam complaints = 0
• Bounces < 2%

A well-tested campaign to 100 prospects will outperform a sloppy blast to 1,000 every time. Take your time, perfect your approach, then scale what works.

6. Follow Up 

Each follow-up should add value, not just occupy inbox space. 

It should be like continuing a conversation, not poking someone repeatedly.

Because here’s the truth: most responses come from follow-ups, not your first email.
(I’ve seen this happen countless times in my campaigns)

95% of emails that get a response receive it within the first 24 hours. 

This means if you don’t get a response in the first day, you need to be ready with your follow-up strategy.

Here’s what I personally do with my follow-up sequence:

Don’t make the rookie mistake of giving up after sending just one email. 

Your prospects are busy people, and your first email might have gotten lost in their crowded inbox.

Here’s what I personally do with my follow-up sequence: 

Start with 4-5 follow-ups spread across 2-3 weeks. Any more than that, and you might come across as pushy. (Nobody likes that!)

Now, about the timing – this is super important. 

Here’s my tested schedule:

• Day 1: First email
• Day 3: First follow-up
• Day 7: Second follow-up
• Day 12: Third follow-up
• Day 18: Final follow-up

(Remember) Each follow-up should add value, not just ask “Did you see my previous email?”

Make each follow-up different. 

Share new information, a different benefit, or a fresh perspective each time. 

I always try to include something that makes the prospect think, “Hm, this is actually interesting.”

For example, your sequence could look like this:

• First email: Main pitch
• Follow-up 1: Share a relevant case study
• Follow-up 2: Mention a specific pain point
• Follow-up 3: Share an industry insight
• Final follow-up: Create urgency with a time-sensitive offer

You can actually automate this entire sequence using email tools (like GrowMeOrganic 😉 )

Track your follow-up performance. 

See which follow-up email gets the most responses and adjust your strategy accordingly.

The goal isn’t to be persistent to the point of annoyance. It’s about staying on your prospect’s radar while providing value in every interaction.

Pro Tip: Use GrowMeOrganic’s sequence builder to set these up once and let them run automatically. The platform will even pause sequences when someone replies.

7. Scale What Works

Sending 10x more emails doesn’t mean getting 10x more responses. 

In fact, that’s usually a recipe for disaster. 

Here’s what most people don’t realize: Cold email can generate an ROI of up to 4400% more than any other channel. But this return only happens when you scale strategically.

Let me share something that changed our entire cold email game. 

Everyone wants to scale their cold email campaigns, but they’re doing it backwards. 

They start with volume when they should start with precision. 

Here’s what’s actually working:

Step 1: Build Your Money Segments

Think of your best customers. The ones who:

• Bought quickly
• Paid full price
• Love your product
• Keep renewing
• Actually use all the features

These are your blueprint for scaling. 

Step 2: Spot the Perfect Moments

Look for these triggers:

• Just raised funding (they’ve got budget)
• New leadership (they want changes)
• Product launches (they need help scaling)
• Bad customer reviews (they’re feeling pain)

Step 3: The Personalization

You can:

• Pull recent company updates
• Spot technology changes
• Track hiring patterns
• Monitor competitor moves

Instead of sending more emails, send smarter ones:

✅ What Works Now:

• Industry-specific pain points
• Trigger-based timing
• Personalized first lines
• Value-focused messages
• Strategic follow-ups

❌ What Doesn’t:

• Generic templates
• Spray and pray
• “Just checking in”
• Feature lists
• Aggressive follow-ups

Look, you could keep sending those “just checking in” emails to anyone with a pulse. Or you could use this framework to start conversations that actually go somewhere.

How to Multiply Your SaaS Cold Email Results

Most cold email advice out there sounds like it was written by a robot for robots. “Optimize your value proposition,” they say. 

Let’s talk about what’s actually working in 2025, shall we?

1. Personalization at Scale

Remember when adding {first_name} was considered personalization? 😅

Those days are long gone. Here’s what real personalization looks like in 2025:

• Did they just raise funding? Mention it
• New CEO? Congratulate them
• Using your competitor? Talk about it
• Posted on LinkedIn? Reference it

2. Email Structure That Actually Works

There are 47 unread emails, and 39 of them start with “Quick question about {Company}.” 

I know you won’t open them. 

“Emails written at a 3rd-grade reading level perform the best – don’t use big words and jargon to sound cool” – Reddit r/sales community

Let’s get real about subject lines. 

Instead of the usual suspects:

• ❌ “Quick chat about {Company}?”
• ❌ “Looking to connect”
• ❌ “{Name}, let’s connect!”

Try these pattern interrupts:

• ✅ “{Company}’s approach to {problem} – spotted a gap”
• ✅ “Wrong about {Company}’s {specific feature}?”
• ✅ “{Competitor} vs {Company} – interesting observation”

Why do these work? 

Because they trigger that “wait… what?” response. People can’t help but pay attention.

For email body, you’ve got about 2 seconds before they decide to read or delete. 

Here’s how to make those seconds count:

Opening Line (The Hook)

• Instead of: “I hope this email finds you well” (Please, just don’t)
  
• Try: “Your LinkedIn post about {specific topic} made me rethink our entire approach to {industry problem}”

The Middle (Show You’re Not a Robot)

• Instead of: “We help companies increase efficiency by 300%”
  
• Try: “We just helped {similar company} solve {specific problem} in 3 weeks – they actually told us our approach wouldn’t work at first. Now they’re seeing {specific result}”

The Close (Make It Easy)

• Instead of: “Would love to schedule 15 minutes”
  
• Try: “Would you be open to telling me why you chose {current solution}? Genuinely curious if we’re approaching this all wrong. Let’s schedule a meeting.”

Your goal isn’t to sell in the first email. 

It’s to start a conversation that feels genuine and interesting enough to continue.

3. Technical Stuff (Don’t Skip This Part!)

I know, I know. Technical optimization sounds about as fun as watching paint dry. 

But here’s the deal: if your emails land in spam, you might as well be shouting into the void.

The “Don’t End Up in Spam Jail” Checklist

• Set up those boring but important authentication things (Mention in the table below 👇 )
• Use GrowMeOrganic’s warm-up (because cold domains = spam folder)
• Keep it clean (no spammy words, no crazy formatting)

4. Good Content 

Stop trying to sound professional. Start trying to sound human.

You should try to: 

• Share stories (people love stories, even in B2B)
• Drop some truth bombs (“Most {industry} tools actually make things worse…”)
• Ask questions that make them think
• Be surprisingly honest (“Our solution isn’t perfect for everyone…”)

5. A/B Testing 

Testing doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s what to test:

• Subject lines (duh!!)
• Opening lines (first impressions matter)
• Email Content (try different formats)
• Follow-up timing (because timing is everything)

Look, at the end of the day, good cold email is just good conversation. 

The tools and tactics matter, but what matters more is being genuinely interesting and helpful.

6. Spintax

Let’s talk about something most “cold email experts” never mention— Spintax. 

It’s the difference between sending 100 identical emails and 100 uniquely personalized ones.

What is Spintax?

It is a way to create natural variations of your message without writing each one manually. It’s personalization that actually scales.

Here’s the basic syntax:

{option1|option2|option3}

Simple Example:

“Hope you’re {having a great|enjoying your|having an awesome} {day|week|morning}!”

This creates different variations automatically:

• “Hope you’re having a great day!”
• “Hope you’re enjoying your week!”
• “Hope you’re having an awesome morning!”

But here’s where it gets interesting…

Advanced Spintax Strategies:

1. Opening Lines
   
   ❌ Basic: “I noticed your company…”
   ✅ Advanced: “I {noticed|saw|couldn’t help but observe} your {company’s recent|team’s latest|recent} {announcement|post|update} about {topic}”
   
2. Value Propositions
   
   ❌ Basic: “We help companies increase sales”
   ✅ Advanced: “We’ve {helped|enabled|empowered} {companies|businesses|organizations} {increase|boost|improve} their {sales|revenue|growth} by {X%|Y%|Z%}”
   
3. Call-to-Actions
   
   ❌ Basic: “Let’s schedule a call”
   ✅ Advanced: “Would you be {open to|interested in|available for} a {quick|brief|short} {chat|call|conversation} about {this|your goals|your strategy}?”
   

Tools That Make Spintax Easier:

• GrowMeOrganic’s built-in Spintax generator
• Preview mode to check variations
• Automated testing of different combinations

Spintax isn’t about tricking people into thinking each email is unique. It’s about creating genuine variations that maintain your voice while scaling your outreach.

When used correctly, Spintax can:

• Increase response rates by up to 30%
• Save hours of writing time
• Maintain personalization at scale
• Improve deliverability through variation

Pro Tip: Start small with Spintax. Test with a few variations first, then expand as you see what works. The goal is natural variation, not random combination.

Key Considerations Before Starting Your Cold Email Outreach

Before you start sending those cold emails, let’s run through the essential stuff. 

These are your cold email checklist— boring but absolutely crucial.

Category	What You Need to Know	Point to Remember
Legal Requirements	CAN-SPAM Act compliance GDPR if targeting EU Unsubscribe Button	Look, nobody likes legal stuff, but getting blacklisted is way worse.
Email Deliverability	SPF records set up DKIM authenticationDMARC policy	It is just your email’s passport— without it, you’re not getting through customs.
Target Research	Industry pain points  Company triggers  Decision maker profiles	Don’t be that person who sends CEO-level pitches to interns. Research properly
Infrastructure	Professional email domain Tracking setup  Reply management	Using gmail.com? Stop right there. You need a professional email domain ASAP.
Sender Reputation	Domain warm-up  Sending limits  Bounce management	Use GrowMeOrganic’s warm-up system to build it properly.
List Quality	Verified emails onlyRecent data Proper segmentation	Garbage in, garbage out. A list of 100 perfect prospects beats 1,000 maybes every time.
Testing Process	Subject line testing  Content validation  Send time testing	“But I want to start now!” I get it. But test with 10 emails first, or cry over 1,000 later. Your choice.
Performance Goals	Open rate >50%  Reply rate >15% •Meeting rate >25% of replies	These aren’t just random numbers. They’re what’s actually possible when you do this right.
Response Plan	Reply templates ready Meeting link setup Objection handlers	Nothing worse than getting responses and not being ready for them. Trust me, it happens more than you’d think.
Timing Rules	2-3 emails per week max Business hours onlyTime zone awareness	Nobody likes the person who sends follow-ups at 3 AM. Don’t be that person.

Quick Start Action Items:

1. Get GrowMeOrganic set up (handles most of this automatically)
2. Warm up your domain (takes 2-3 weeks, start now)
3. Build your first small test list
4. Create your templates
5. Test with 10 emails

Rushing into cold email without these basics is like trying to run before you can walk.

You’ll fall flat on your face. Take the time to set things up right.

Conclusion

Look, we’ve covered a lot of ground here, but let’s cut to the chase: 

Cold email isn’t just alive in 2025— it’s thriving.

Here’s what you need to remember:

• Start small, test everything
• Use tools like GrowMeOrganic to scale what works
• Keep it human (seriously, no robot stuff)
• Focus on value, not volume

The truth is, while everyone else is chasing the next shiny marketing trend, smart SaaS companies are quietly crushing it with just cold emails. 

They’re not blasting thousands of generic messages. They’re sending targeted, personalized outreach that actually gets responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many follow-ups should I send?

Look, forget those “send 27 follow-ups until they die or reply” guides. 

4-5 strategic follow-ups over 20 days is th best. 

Using GrowMeOrganic’s sequence builder, you can set these up to be value-adding touches, not just annoying them.  

Q: What’s a good open rate for SaaS cold emails?

Here’s a rough idea:

• Mediocre: 15-25%
• Good: 35-45%
• Great: 50%+

With personalization and deliverability tools, we regularly see clients hitting 60%+ open rates. 

It’s not magic – it’s just good targeting and proper setup.

Q: When is the best time to send cold emails?

Everyone says “Tuesday 10 AM,” and guess what? 

That’s exactly why you shouldn’t send then. Try this instead:

• Mid-morning, Wednesday or Thursday
• Avoid Mondays (everyone’s inbox is already exploding)
• Test different times with GrowMeOrganic’s send-time optimization

Also, you can check out out article where we talk specifically about best email timing. 

Q: How do I avoid spam filters?

Simple: Stop acting like spam. 

That means:

• Warm up your domain (GrowMeOrganic can easily handles this)
• Keep your HTML clean (or use plain text)
• Avoid spammy words (“FREE!”, “Buy Now!”, etc.)
• Actually personalize your emails
• Don’t mass-blast thousands at once

Q: What’s the ideal length for a cold email?

“Keep it short” is outdated advice. 

Keep as long as it needs to be to provide value. 

Our highest-performing clients often send 100 word emails that tell a story and make a point. 

Just make every word count.

Q: Should I personalize every email?

“Yes, but…” 

You don’t need to write every email from scratch. 

You can use GrowMeOrganic’s smart personalization like spin tags to scale your efforts

Q: How often can I email the same prospect?

You need to make sure you’re not spamming them. Space your emails:

• Initial email
• Day 3-4: First follow-up
• Day 7-8: Second follow-up
• Day 13-14: Third follow-up
• Day 17-18: Final value-added Follow up

Q: What makes a compelling subject line?

Forget “quick question” or “touching base.” You need to go more personalised and deeper. 

Try these instead:

• “{Company} + {Your Solution} – wrong fit?”
• “saw your post about {specific topic}”
• “{Competitor} vs {Their Company} approach”

Point is to make them curious, not suspicious.

Q: How do I measure cold email success?

Stop obsessing over open rates. Here’s what actually matters:

• Reply Rate (aim for 15%)
• Meeting Booked Rate (>25% of replies)
• Deals Closed (the only metric that pays bills)
