Running it, start to finish

  1. Research one specific, current, verifiable fact about the recipient.
  2. State your ask as a concrete, small commitment.
  3. Send one variant, and use the supplied follow-up once, a week later.

What you get back

The output this produces, every time.

  • Opens with something specific to the recipient rather than a paragraph about you.
  • Frames the problem as a hypothesis, which outperforms confident diagnosis of a company you do not work at.
  • Tells you when your research is too thin to write a real message, instead of dressing it up.

Getting better results

Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.

  • The about-them field decides everything. A funding round, a job posting, a shipped feature, a conference talk. Without one, all three variants collapse into a template.
  • Do not add your company boilerplate. back in. The omission is deliberate — it is the most common reason a short message becomes an unread long one.
  • Send the follow-up as written. It adds something new. 'Bumping this to the top of your inbox' is the message that gets people blocked.
