Breakthrough email

A breakthrough email is a highly effective cold email that grabs attention and gets responses from hard-to-reach prospects.

What makes a breakthrough email work?

  • Personalized: References something specific about the recipient.
  • Concise: Gets straight to the point without fluff.
  • Value-driven: Shows how you can solve a problem or provide something useful.
  • Engaging subject line: Increases open rates by sparking curiosity.
