{{Icebreaker1 - example: [I saw on LinkedIn that you… ]}}.

Many B2B companies like yours and their sales teams connect with clients through multi-channel prospecting campaigns they’ve designed using our Academy (the most comprehensive and detailed online training available).

My research has shown that {{ValueProposition - example: [companyName helps businesses improve their customer experience and increase their return on investment]}}. And you could help even more clients.

One of our clients demonstrated that our methodology was worth exploring when they added CHF 3.7 million to their pipeline thanks to 160 qualified leads. Previously, they were wasting hundreds of hours generating poor-quality leads, thereby missing out on numerous lucrative opportunities.

It would be great to give you a bit more context over the phone (or perhaps outsource your sales development to our agency?).

Are you interested, or am I way off the mark?

Best regards from {{city}},
Charles

PS: Imagine having access to an unlimited number of qualified leads: your diary could look like this 😉

{{firstName}},

I’d like to show you that your leads are our top priority: would you like to receive a free lead generation plan for 100 leads?

You shouldn’t be wasting your time generating leads: you should be focusing on what allows you to create the most value: meeting your potential customers, understanding their needs and building a relationship of trust.

If you’re interested, could we have a 15-minute chat on the phone to discuss the criteria for your ideal customer profile so we can prepare this project? Perhaps {% assign today = "now" | date: "%A" %}{% case today %}{% when "Monday" %}tomorrow or Wednesday{% when "Tuesday" %}tomorrow or Thursday{% when "Wednesday" %}tomorrow or Friday{% when "Thursday" %}tomorrow or Monday{% when "Friday" %}Monday or Tuesday morning{% when "Saturday" %}next week{% when "Sunday" %}next week{% endcase %}?

Since you’re a {{jobtitle}}, what’s stopping you from getting a free lead generation project or learning new customer acquisition methods? Is it because:

you don’t do email outreach, cold calling or LinkedIn outreach

it’s not the right time

for another reason?

I’d be delighted to chat with you about how our clients launched their first outreach campaign or improved their previous approach.

So… were my emails really that bad that they didn’t catch your attention?

I’ve tried to get in touch with you several times, and if you’re not interested in this discussion, that’s perfectly understandable.

I thought it would be a good idea to get in touch because, before we met, our clients were missing out on a lot of opportunities: their sales teams weren’t scheduling enough demos, their conversion rates were disastrous, and they weren’t managing to hit their targets.

Kind regards,

P.S.: If you’re not interested in working together to grow your business, please let me know and I’ll stop contacting you.

Subject : A] Our call {{firstName}} – cyber-resistance\nB] cyber-resistance – our call {{firstName}}

Hello {{firstName}},

{{Icebreaker — e.g.: Your background and qualifications in IT security are impressive — I’ve had a look at your LinkedIn profile.}}

{{PainPoint — e.g.: As you’re no doubt aware, the number of cyberattacks in Switzerland doubles every year, and most of them target Active Directory. Our clients in the {{industry}} sector have turned to our solution to improve their cyber resilience and better withstand the next ransomware attack.}}

In a (very) nutshell, our solution:
- identifies and prioritises all attack vectors so you can focus your attention on the most dangerous ones

- provides prioritised, actionable recommendations to reduce risks associated with your access configurations

- maps your entire AD (and/or Azure AD) to provide you with a continuous risk score

Time and resources are limited, but with our solution, you know what to prioritise to improve your resilience to attacks. We suggest the actions that require the least effort for the greatest improvement.

If reducing your attack surface is a priority, would you be willing to discuss this with our CEO [CEO_first_name]?

Kind regards,
Charles

PS: All our partners have reduced their internal attack surface by over 60% thanks to [CompanyName].

2Email3 days later

Subject : (same item)

Hello {{firstName}},

Given the importance of {{CompanyName}}’s cyber resilience, I would like to make a proposal and provide further background on [CompanyName].

We would be happy to carry out a security audit of your internal environment (AD, Azure AD). Instead of paying consultants between CHF 20,000 and CHF 100,000 for a pentest or a limited, one-off audit, we are offering you a 30-day trial at a fraction of that cost to continuously analyse your entire attack surface. From experience, the results are guaranteed.

Before using [CompanyName], our clients were faced with thousands of recommendations based on qualitative compliance. It took time to understand where to start and identify the most critical issues within the context of their organisation.

Now they know where to focus their attention and which actions to take first, thanks to simple, prioritised and context-specific recommendations.

[CompanyName] is a Swiss company based in Lausanne and part of Trust Valley. We offer on-premises or cloud deployment in Switzerland or across Europe.

Could you spare 45 minutes to discuss your cyber resilience? You can book a time of your choice directly in [CEO_first_name]’s calendar (but if you prefer, I can also send you two or three suggestions).

Thank you in advance for your reply,

Kind regards,
Charles

PS: Here’s a little virtual coffee to help you get on with your day :)

Hello {{firstName}},

I imagine you’re quite busy at the moment?

The offer in my last message to trial our solution for 30 days at a very competitive price still stands.

I invite you to read our short brochure to understand how graph theory and machine learning techniques enable our solution to continuously map an organisation’s attack surface, identify the most likely attack paths and suggest remedies.

Please also note that if your environment is hybrid, our solution analyses not only Microsoft Active Directory, but also Azure Active Directory and the relationship between the two.

Does your organisation use AD, Azure AD, GCP, AWS, or an internal directory?

Have a good day,

Kind regards,
Charles

{{salesRep}}

5Call4 days later

If the prospect replies:

"Hello {{firstName}}, this is {{salesRep}} from [CompanyName]. I’ve sent you some emails about our solution, which can help you improve your cyber resilience, particularly by saving you time and money. Would you have two minutes to spare to see if we could be a good fit for you?"

If so:

"As you are no doubt aware, in Switzerland the number of cyberattacks doubles every year, and in 80% of audits carried out in 2020, the IT system was compromised within 24 hours (according to Wavestone). In light of this, 53% of large enterprises and SMEs have an AD security project in place. Our solution addresses three common issues: 1) prioritising the actions to be taken, 2) an audit that never stops, 3) a very affordable cost. Our clients have reduced their internal attack surface by over 60% in just a few months."

If interested → Qualification questions + schedule a demo.
If not interested → Rephrase the problem, handle objections politely.

If voicemail:

"Hello {{firstName}}, this is {{salesRep}} from [CompanyName]. I hope you’re well. I’ve been trying to get hold of you as you might be interested in finding out how our clients have reduced their attack surface by over 60%. Would you have a minute to discuss cybersecurity?

Same approach as Touch #5. Second attempt to call prospects who didn’t answer the first time.

Hello {{firstName}},

I tried to get in touch with you again yesterday, but it seems you have a busy schedule. If there’s a better time, or if you’re not interested in finding out how our solution can add value, please do let me know so that I can stop contacting you.

I believe our solution might be of interest to you, as it replaces numerous audits and penetration tests with a single continuous analysis tool, covering the entire internal attack surface at a significantly lower cost.

Alternatively, could you let me know if I should speak to another of your colleagues? Perhaps {{colleague_name}}?

You’ll find our brochure here just in case, but I’m always available if you have any questions or would like to discuss protecting your infrastructure against the most damaging attacks.

Thank you in advance for your reply, and I wish you all the best for the future.

Subject : Our appeal, {{firstName}} – sustainable development project

Hello {{firstName}},

{{Icebreaker - example: I read your annual report, which outlines your corporate social responsibility initiatives over the past year.}}

Employee engagement and sustainable development are undoubtedly two issues close to your heart. Several organisations such as the WTO, the GEF and Caran d'Ache collaborate with our non-profit association.

Together, we are working to promote biodiversity: to protect bees, our clients host beehives on their company premises or adopt them from our apiaries if their workplace is not suitable for hosting hives.

We take care of everything. You benefit from numerous advantages, such as:
Raising awareness, engaging and bringing your employees together through various team-building activities

Strengthening/diversifying your sustainability and social responsibility programme

Communicating your commitment both internally and externally (annual reports, ISO)

If protecting biodiversity is essential for {{companyName}}, would you be interested in discussing this further during an initial telephone conversation?

I look forward to hearing from you,

Kind regards,
{{salesRep}} for [ClientCompanyName]

P.S.: Do you like honey?

{{signature}}

2Email7 days later

Hello {{firstName}},

You’re no doubt wondering about a few things following my previous email :) Here are some further details and a proposal for you.

We are facing the sixth mass extinction – the one that led to the disappearance of the dinosaurs. Insects are the animals most affected, particularly bees. Yet they are the cornerstone of biodiversity, as they pollinate plants.

[ClientCompanyName] wishes to raise public awareness of this cause and is collaborating with private partners to bring about change on a large scale. Employees at {{companyName}} could get involved locally and take practical steps to protect bees.

If your premises aren’t suitable for installing beehives, you can always adopt one from our apiaries. Your hive will then be personalised with your company logo, and all the honey produced will be sent to you in jars featuring your logo or design.

We would be delighted to visit you and present some of our initiatives, such as the one with Clarins: [video link]

Would you have 45 minutes to spare? Perhaps early next Thursday morning?

We look forward to hearing from you.

I thought you might be interested to know that our clients, such as BNP Paribas, L’Oréal and PwC, have refocused their corporate volunteering platforms to concentrate on virtual initiatives (and August broke all records).

They can also sign up for virtual opportunities posted by their charitable partners to provide online support to migrant entrepreneurs, organise a charity yoga class or translate documents (please see the attached document).

I’m sure you’ll agree that CSR is a vast subject, covering a range of areas where a company can take action, such as installing solar panels on a roof, reducing its carbon footprint, and so on.


Corporate citizenship is an area that companies only consider from time to time, yet it is an effective approach to doing good whilst giving your employees an active role. By mobilising your talent, it is no longer just management who is responsible for developing a sustainable future.


I invite you to watch this YouTube video to find out more about our top-down and bottom-up approaches. It shows how the [ClientCompanyName] platform connects employees with volunteering opportunities posted by the charities you have selected, whilst providing you with an overview of the entire process.


Could you please forward my email if I should be contacting another of your colleagues instead?

2Emailfirst day of the series

Subject : Our conversation - {{firstName}} & {{salesRep}}

Dear {{salutation}} {{lastName}},

{{icebreaker}}.

My research has also shown that you are politically responsible for keeping {{city}} clean.

We currently support over 50 cities and local authorities that have chosen our solution to monitor their cleanliness levels, optimise the use of their resources and reduce their environmental footprint, particularly their water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

The city of Basel, for example, has been able to reduce its number of street sweepers by 15%. The head of the cleaning department can objectively demonstrate that their city has become cleaner.

To achieve this, the city is mapped using our image recognition system installed on vehicles. These cleanliness measurements also help to engage teams in a process of continuous improvement and make their working conditions more attractive.

It would be great to be able to give you more details over the phone.

Are you interested, or am I way off the mark?

Kind regards,
{{salesRep}}

Dear {{salutation}} {{lastName}},

What do you think of my proposal?

Furthermore, we invite you to conduct a large-scale trial over the next three months, focusing on one or more specific operational objectives (this is, after all, the time of year when waste production peaks!).

You can test our solution in {{city}} to assess the results for yourself.

The first five towns in {{CountrySequence}} will benefit from a preferential rate. As an added bonus, you will also receive personalised support from one of our experts, who can help you resolve operational issues relating to cleanliness in your town.

For your information, all the towns and municipalities that rolled out our solution in 2022 have expanded their coverage to larger areas. Implementation is straightforward and no tender process is required, as our solution is unique and we have no competitors.

Would you be interested in a meeting with our CEO?

Kind regards,

Dear {{salutation}} {{lastname}},

Would it be better to contact your colleagues {{colleaguename1}} or {{colleaguename2}}?

I imagine your schedule is busy. However, your colleagues responsible for sanitation, pollution or street cleaning might be interested.

A quick anecdote: one of our clients (a road maintenance manager) thought he would need more internal resources to launch the project. However, it took just two months to see the first results. Not only did he realise that he and his teams had saved valuable time, but they even eliminated several ‘black spots’ of unknown waste (thanks to the clear dashboard).

Dear {{salutation}} {{lastname}},

I was unable to reach you by phone today.

Like all the other elected representatives we work with, you care about the appeal, safety and sustainability of {{city}}. What’s more, your residents’ quality of life goes hand in hand with the cleanliness of the city.

That’s why we’d like to meet with you to present the results your residents can expect.

Could we discuss this over the phone?

Kind regards,
{{salesRep}}

P.S.: Here’s a little virtual coffee to help you get on with your day :)!

Dear {{salutation}} {{lastname}},

Should I get in touch with you again later this year?

The {{city}} website states that you are responsible for improving the cleanliness of the city.

You know as well as I do that you can’t improve what you can’t measure. Only by measuring the resources deployed can we assess their effectiveness and improve them.

That is why we can help you innovate in this area to ensure the quality of life for your residents.

A recent case study focuses on a business district in Utrecht, the Netherlands, where many residents were complaining about cleanliness. Our solution redefined the cleaning zones based on measurements taken over a two-month period. The result: no further complaints, and four street cleaners were able to be reassigned to less strenuous tasks.

Would you like to know more about the background? Or would you like to contact our clients to exchange ideas and ask them questions directly?

Kind regards,
{{salesRep}}

P.S.: Just like you, we believe that {{city}} is one of the cleanest cities in the {{CountrySequence}} region. Together, we can prove it and do even better without investing any more resources.

Subject : Our Call {{firstName}} – recruitment platform

Hello {{firstName}},

Our recruitment platform can help you and {{companyName}} connect with new talent.

I was wondering whether I should be contacting you or your colleague {{colleaguename}}?

Our clients, such as {{client_ref}}, are already successfully using our solution to meet candidates over an informal lunch, whether online or in person (as you may have guessed from my photo montage above 😊).

The concept is simple: students or recent graduates apply via our platform to request a lunch meeting with an employee. If their application is successful, they meet the employee from the chosen department for an informal chat over lunch.

Every day, our platform is enriched with new profiles of students, graduates and young professionals from numerous universities and higher education institutions. {{icebreaker}}

How about getting in touch next week to see if our digital solution can help you recruit more talent? Over a virtual coffee, perhaps?

Thank you in advance for your feedback,

Kind regards,

Our platform not only helps forge genuine connections between top employers and top talent, but also takes care of all the coordination.

Hello {{salutation}} {{lastName}},

{{Icebreaker}} I read online that Seneffe has installed four bike repair stations in various locations to promote sustainable transport and encourage the use of bicycles as a means of transport or for leisure. A great initiative

With this in mind, I imagine that more and more of them are cycling to your premises. However, as you know, cycling is no longer without risk. In 2022, around 600 bikes were stolen every day in Belgium. It was this observation that led to the creation of [Client_Name].

We have developed bike parking stations that are 100% secure, sustainable (made from recycled materials) and self-sufficient (powered by solar panels). Our users can secure their bikes to the station in just a few clicks via our free mobile app. Our stations secure both the front wheel AND the frame, making theft and dismantling impossible.

If the safety of your students and greener mobility are issues of concern to you, I’d be delighted to provide a little more context over the phone.

Are you interested, or am I missing the mark?

Kind regards,
PS: Let’s make sure it doesn’t come to that!

Hello {{salutation}} {{lastName}},

What do you think of my proposal regarding our [ClientCompanyName] bike lock stations?

Incidentally, we have just won a tender from the Brussels-Capital Region.

This is also what has prompted us to contact {{ICP}} who are concerned about the issue of bicycle theft, as {{companyName}} certainly is.

To this end, I would like to present our special offer for this autumn. The first 10 applicants will benefit from discounts of up to 50% as well as extended warranties of up to 5 years for certain contracts.

As an added bonus, installation, which normally costs €490, will be offered free of charge with the purchase of at least 3 stations. Finally, our teams will help you promote the [ClientCompanyName] stations to ensure they are useful for your users.

Would you be interested in discussing this proposal with [CEO_Name], our CEO?

Hello {{salutation}} {{lastName}},

I wasn’t able to reach you by phone today.

Like other {{ICP}}s in Belgium, you want to provide an attractive, safe and sustainable space for your {{Audience}}.

As you know, bike thefts are on the rise year after year. This is a real problem that causes stress for cyclists and discourages cycling.

This is hardly surprising, given that any lock can be broken in seconds with the right tools.

However, we guarantee that our stations offer 100% protection against theft. {{salesRep}} stations have been designed with two key objectives in mind: to be unbreakable and durable.

If sustainable transport and the well-being of your {{Audience}} are important to {{companyName}}, I’d be delighted to discuss this with you over the phone.

Hello {{salutation}} {{lastName}},

Promoting {{companyname}} and highlighting affiliation with your institution are undoubtedly topical issues. Our partners, such as [ClientCustomer], as well as secondary schools and international schools, have turned to us for this very purpose.

They benefit from our merchandising services for textiles and items personalised to match their brand image. Their students can purchase various items such as sweatshirts, T-shirts, notepads and sports equipment for basketball, football, etc.

There’s no need to worry about tedious, time-consuming tasks such as collecting sizes, handling payments or arranging deliveries. Our partners particularly appreciate our platform, which allows their customers to pre-order and have items delivered directly to their home or school.

What’s more, everything is produced with respect for people and the planet: 100% organic cotton, recycled materials and certifications such as Oeko-Tex or PETA-Approved Vegan.

Would you like to discuss this further for 15 minutes during an initial phone call {% assign today = "now" | date: "%A" %}{% case today %}{% when "Monday" %}tomorrow or Wednesday{% when "Tuesday" %}tomorrow or Thursday{% when "Wednesday" %}tomorrow or Friday{% when "Thursday" %}tomorrow or Monday{% when "Friday" %}Monday or Tuesday morning{% endcase %}?

As {{companyname}}’s brand image is important, I would like to make you an offer: the bespoke graphic design of your products would be provided entirely free of charge.

Just like our other partners, you and your colleagues will be supported and advised by one of our experts. We do everything we can to make things easier for you. You will undoubtedly be surprised to discover the high quality of our products, their low environmental impact and the latest technologies available: screen printing, embroidery, specialised products (vegan), etc.

Although many organisations in the education sector use our services, other organisations such as [ClientCustomer], the International Olympic Committee and the Montreux Jazz Festival have also placed their trust in us for over 20 years.

Would you like to discuss this with us? If so, would you like to receive 2 or 3 suggestions for a 45-minute video call, [Client_FirstName] (you can also choose a date directly from their calendar)?

Subject : Our call - {{FirstName}} & {{salesRep}}

Hello {{firstName}},

Here you can see my colleague {{salesRep2}} delivering our homemade meals to our customers.

How about enjoying our balanced and varied meals, made with local produce, for your lunch break?

I’m writing to you because we’re a Geneva-based company offering a ‘canteen 2.0’ service for businesses. Should I contact you, or your colleague {{colleaguename}}?
Via our website, your employees can easily order their lunch, which will be delivered the same day at midday, all in recycled or recyclable packaging.

As an employer, this also has benefits for you. Firstly, you are investing directly in your employees’ wellbeing. Secondly, this service is affordable – much more so than a company canteen, for example. Finally, we could create a bespoke menu tailored to your employees’ preferences.

Would you like to find out more? I’d be delighted to discuss this with you over the phone to provide further details. Thank you in advance for your reply,

Have a lovely day,
{{salesRep}}

Hello {{firstName}},

I hope you are well.

I am writing to follow up on my previous email regarding [ClientCompanyName], the ‘canteen 2.0’ initiative. I was wondering if you have already set up a similar service?

I’m asking because we offer our partners the opportunity to contribute financially towards providing healthy, fresh and gourmet meals. What’s more, we take care of all the logistics for them. Depending on the benefits you’d like to offer, this is something we could explore together.

If so, I suggest we discuss this over the phone as soon as possible. I’ve attached my calendar, where you can book a slot that suits you directly.

“Your LinkedIn post regarding…

If the LinkedIn connection request is accepted, the following message is sent 7 days later:

Hello {{firstName}}, my colleague {{salesRep}} has sent you an email.

Do you handle self-hosted [ProductName] solutions that might be of interest to {{companyName}}?

[ClientCustomer] and several Fortune 500 companies use our solution, as do companies such as {{company name}}.

They are accelerating the integration of their on-site, nearshore or offshore software development teams. And they are turning to our solution because it is the first CDE platform to offer both productivity and data security.

If the LinkedIn connection request is accepted, the following message is sent 21 days later:

Hello {{firstName}}, would it be best to contact {{colleaguename1}} or {{colleaguename2}} to discuss the developer experience, productivity, laptop management and compliance costs, etc.?

A] {{icebreaker}}.

My research shows that you lead [ProductName].

B] My research indicates that you, {{colleaguename1}} and {{colleaguename2}}, lead [ProductName].

Our clients, companies such as [ClientCustomer], rely on our solution to improve their developers’ productivity and coding experience. Internal and external teams work on self-hosted cloud development environments (CDEs).

Unlike DaaS or VDI, CDEs are pre-configured Linux development environments that include all the tools, libraries, dependencies and security features.

[ClientCompanyName]’s CDEs are the first secure, standardised, ready-to-use development environments. Among other things:

Developer onboarding time has been reduced from several days to just a few minutes

Laptop management and compliance costs have been reduced by 50%

The entire development environment is now secure

Does the idea of having a bit more context during a call appeal to you, or am I way off the mark?

{% assign ampm = "now" | date: "%P" %}{% if ampm contains "am" %}Good morning{% else %}Good morning{% endif %} {{firstName}},
What do you think of my latest suggestion, which is to explore how our clients balance developer productivity with security?

The idea is to meet for an initial, no-obligation discussion.

What’s more, the {year} special offer allows [ProductName] to see for themselves, in their own environment, that there’s no need to sacrifice efficiency for the sake of security.

This 45-day pilot project helps:

DevOps teams to ensure their developers’ productivity and comfort

CIOs to reduce risks associated with software development ({{colleaguename3}}?)

CIOs to reduce costs whilst ensuring compliance ({{colleaguename4}}?)

PS: One of the benefits our clients appreciate most is access to real-time information. They have an overview of all aspects of their [ProductName], as shown in the dashboard I created for {{companyname}} below:

My research has shown that you manage biofuel-related projects at {{companyName}}.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with developments in the renewable fuels market, particularly regarding regulatory frameworks and demand forecasts for an ever-wider range of feedstocks and technologies.

Hundreds of organisations rely on our expertise and global knowledge of biofuels. Their team members have access to daily updates via our Renewable Fuels Intelligence platform.

“Your report is the Bible,” said the head of biodiesel at an S&P 500 company. No one else offers such accurate analysis.

It would be great to give you a bit more context over the phone and explain how {{companyName}} could also benefit.

What do you think of my suggestion: finding out how pharmaceutical companies such as {{companyName}} have successfully completed their clinical trials by collecting data of the highest quality?

Our clients consistently express their satisfaction at no longer having to deal with inexperienced staff.

Hello {{salutation}} {{lastName}}, my colleague {{SalesRep}} recently sent you an email.

We’ve noticed that {{companyName}} may have high electricity consumption and available roof space. Have you ever considered using solar energy to reduce your electricity bills and benefit from stable prices?

Many companies are now installing on-site solar power systems to reduce their costs—whether they invest in or manage the installation themselves—whilst supporting the energy transition. I thought this might also be of interest to {{companyName}}.

Dear {{salutation}} {{lastName}},

I noticed that {{companyName}} owns the building located at {{buildingaddress}}.

Companies are working with us to reduce their electricity bills and avoid price spikes by installing solar power systems on their premises. There is no upfront cost, and you can continue to focus on your business whilst we take care of the rest.

Would this be of interest to {{companyName}}? Or am I way off the mark?

Best-case scenario: you reduce your costs. Worst-case scenario: you get a free comparative analysis.

Kind regards,
{{salesRep}}

P.S.: One of our clients, a care home, reduced its overall energy bill by 15% with a self-consumption rate of 97%. And we paid a five-figure sum to another client simply to rent their roof.

One of the challenges frequently cited by security managers is having a multitude of tools, yet lacking visibility into external alerts that actually impact their assets, suppliers or brand.

Here is the link to the short case study I mentioned to you, which explains how {{testimony company}} is transforming oncology research using AI as part of the NAIPO project in Switzerland.

I thought you might be interested to see how:

1/AI models work on federated real-world clinical datasets

2/data security is not compromised

3/compliance is simplified between partners

Is this a topic that interests you, or not at all?

Kind regards,

Hello {{firstName}},
This might not be the ideal time to discuss how data from clinical practice can support your research.

May I get back to you in about three months to see if your priorities have changed?

P.S.: In the meantime, here’s a virtual coffee for you to enjoy whilst we wait for our next meeting ☕️

Version A (includes USP stats)

Hello {{firstName}},

Like you, our clients such as {{client_ref}} were unsure about the potential of improved Google SEO and an integrated booking system.

A year later, they are attracting thousands of new sign-ups every year without spending a single euro on advertising (Google Ads).

To achieve this, we implemented a {{productname}} strategy: a website redesign, the implementation of an online booking system and the development of organic SEO on Google.

Our clients can also keep a close eye on all their website traffic statistics, allowing them to test new offers in real time to satisfy their customers.

Here’s a visual overview of what we can achieve for {{companyName}}:

Version A

Hello {{firstName}},

I tried to reach you today on {{phonenumbersequence}}.

I wanted to tell you about the summer offer we’re launching this week for all SMEs in {{province}}. Why not make the most of the quiet summer period to revamp your marketing strategy and boost your end-of-year figures?

To help you do this, we’d like to arrange a meeting with one of our marketing experts. The aim will be to carry out a health check on your website and social media.

The expert will suggest various areas for improvement and rank them for you in order of priority.

No contract or proposal from Webforce will be sent following this meeting. The sole aim is to help you gain a clearer understanding of your digital potential.

Here is the schedule of one of our experts, if that appeals to you (over 5 years’ experience, after all).

Kind regards,

At Webforce, we value feedback so we can improve.

If you have a few seconds, could you tell me why you don’t wish to proceed?

I really don’t need any of what you’re telling me, thank you

Hello {{firstName}},

We have developed a last-mile delivery management platform specifically designed for businesses like yours, which handle thousands of deliveries every year.

Major players such as [ClientCostumer] use [ClientCompanyName] to reduce their delivery costs, improve the customer experience and cut the time spent on route planning by 35%.

They have all seen a 35% drop in customer complaints!

Hello {{firstName}},

I’m getting in touch because companies such as {{client_ref}} have turned to us to tackle challenges such as high delivery costs, a low first-attempt delivery rate and an increase in customer complaints — all factors that undermine satisfaction and growth.

After implementing [ClientCompanyName], they saw a 30% reduction in complaints and a 15% improvement in on-time delivery rates.

Would you be the right person to discuss how we could achieve the same for {{companyName}}?

Frequently asked questions

What is a cold email sequence?

A cold email sequence is a series of emails sent automatically to prospects who don't yet know you. Each email in the sequence is spaced out over time and designed to create value, build trust and trigger a response. The best sequences combine several channels (email, LinkedIn, call) and use buying signals to personalise each message.

How do you customise these sequences?

To personalise a sequence effectively, start by identifying concrete buying signals: fund-raising, recruitment, change of management, adoption of a new technology. Reference real events in your icebreakers (a LinkedIn post, a press article, participation in a trade show). Adapt the value proposition to the prospect's specific context rather than sending a generic message.

How many stages should a sequence have?

Our data on 25 sequences shows an average of 6.9 steps per sequence, with an optimal range between 5 and 9 touches. Sequences that are too short (less than 4 touches) do not give the prospect enough chance to respond, while sequences that are too long (more than 10 touches) risk being perceived as spam. The average duration is 25 days.

Do these sequences work for my industry?

This collection covers more than 15 different industries: Cybersecurity, SaaS, HR, Finance, Pharma, Real Estate, Manufacturing, and many more. Even if your exact industry isn't represented, the structures, personalisation frameworks and copywriting techniques are transferable. The important thing is to adapt the message to your ICP and specific buying signals.
