  • Summary

  • In this episode, we help you, freelancers, turn cold, impersonal emails into warm, effective messages that actually get responses. Learn how to make personal connections, add warmth, and create emails that feel like they’re coming from a friend. We also share a real-life example and give tips on how to follow up without being annoying.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Why Cold Emails Feel Cold:
      Cold emails are often robotic and get deleted quickly. Make them personal to get better responses.
    • Personal Connection is Key:
      Research the recipient’s LinkedIn or blog, and mention something specific about them. Whether it’s a project or a personal interest, make the email relatable and warm.
    • Warm-Up Formula:
      1. Personal touch: Mention something specific like a project they’re working on.
      2. Show how you can help: Focus on how you can benefit them.
      3. Friendly call-to-action: Suggest a casual, friendly chat.
    • Real-Life Example:
      Ludiah shares how she landed a meeting by referencing a CEO’s marathon and tying it into her offer of help. The personal touch made the difference.
    • Following Up:
      When following up, offer something useful like an article related to their industry instead of a simple "Just checking in" message.
    Your Assignment: Send one cold email this week, but make it warm with a personal touch. Add a friendly call-to-action, and see how it changes the response.
