High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a cold email sequence that gets replies?

Build a 7-email sequence over two weeks: introduction, value proof, alternative angle, social proof, resource share, direct ask, and breakup email. Keep each email under 125 words with one clear CTA and a personalized opening line based on prospect research.

What is the best follow-up timing for cold emails?

Space follow-ups 2-3 days apart, sending Tuesday through Thursday between 10-11 AM or 2-3 PM in the recipient's timezone. Avoid Mondays and Fridays, and end the sequence with a breakup email around day 14.

How many emails should a cold outreach sequence have?

A classic sequence uses 7 emails over 2 weeks, fast-track uses 5 emails in 1 week, and long-play nurture uses 12-14 emails over 4-6 weeks. Choose based on lead temperature: hotter leads get shorter, faster cadences.

What is a good reply rate for cold email campaigns?

A good first-email reply rate is 3-8%, with 8-15% considered great. Full sequence reply rates of 8-15% are good, and 15-25% is great. Positive reply rates above 50% indicate strong targeting and messaging.

Why are my cold emails going to spam?

Spam placement usually comes from missing SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records, unwarmed inboxes, high bounce rates above 2%, or spam trigger words like "free" and "act now". Warm up new inboxes for 3-4 weeks and verify lists before sending.

Should cold emails include images or attachments?

No. Images, HTML-heavy templates, and attachments trigger spam filters and hurt deliverability. Use plain-text formatting with links instead of attachments, and keep emails scannable on mobile devices.
