Loved this breakdown, Carly — especially the part about starting a conversation instead of going straight for the pitch. I run Sparkle.io, a cold email outreach service focused on helping businesses get replies, not just sends.
We’ve been dialing in what works best for deliverability and personalization, and if anyone here is trying to scale their outreach without landing in spam folders, I’d be happy to share what’s working for us right now. Always up for a good cold email chat!
Just stumbled upon these additional great tips from @keshav on X:
> don't say hi
> don't write your name in the beginning (they can already see it from gmail)
> don't repeat yourself
> use the subject to specify your ask/intent
> proofread carefully (typos kill credibility)
> all lowercase for vibes
> the busier the person, the shorter the mail
> aim to keep it under 240 characters
> send during business hours in their time zone
> avoid jargon

Another great one, Carly. Thanks!
When you cold email someone, and they don't even read it.

Is this about writing a cold email?
This is great!
So I see that this algorithm already knows me so well.
“Speak soon,” “Thank you,” or “Thanks and speak soon” are my go-tos depending on context
