Best Practices for Cold Emails

Using plain language is essential for effective cold emails, as complex wording can lead to confusion and lower response rates. It is recommended to target the writing level to a fifth-grade reading level to ensure clarity. The structure of the email should align with how recipients typically scan for information, prioritizing the preview text and subject line, followed by the P.S. section. Keeping messages hyper-short improves engagement, as excessive complexity often results in the emails being ignored or marked as spam.
