Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about email verification.

How long should a cold email be?

Short enough to read in 20 seconds. If it gets longer, cut it, because your recipients will likely ignore it. Industry research suggests that the first-touch email should be around 80 words.

Should I personalize my cold outreach email?

Of course, but it's more important to make it specific. Mentioning details about their work or citing something relevant has more value than just adding superficial personalization.

Should I use cold email templates?

Yes, but only as a base. Good cold email templates help with structure, but you still need to adapt them to each situation.
