Template of the Week 📕

This one works because it's built almost entirely around the prospect. It plays to their authority,  positions them as the expert, which lowers their guard.

What we're pitching:  A service that helps industry experts grow their audience.

Hi Laura,

Came across your feature on Iowa's health information exchange transition in early 2026.

That got me curious about your background - your 25 years in IT across government and healthcare, and how you've built Converge to focus on that last mile of interoperability work.

It strikes me there's probably a much larger audience for your thinking around multi-stakeholder alignment and modernising statewide infrastructure, especially as more states grapple with these exact challenges.

Would it make sense to chat about how your expertise could reach the people who need to hear it most?

Premium Inboxes

What it does? A done-for-you inbox provider that sets up official Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts for cold email.

Why we love it? They manually configure and verify every DNS record (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) rather than relying on automation. Setup is usually done within 12 hours, and they offer free replacement inboxes if one gets flagged.

Next steps: Take a look at premiuminboxes.com 

Tip of the Week 💡

Send handwritten notes on outbound. 

It stands out because it doesn't look like the other 40 grey text emails in someone's inbox.

You can generate a handwritten-style note with AI in seconds, screenshot it, and drop the image into your outreach.

Warning: don't overdo it. If everyone starts doing this, the novelty wears off fast. Use it for high priority accounts.

Template of the Week 📕

This template opens with a piece of news the reader probably hasn't clocked yet, which triggers a bit of curiosity and positions the sender as someone who's actually paying attention to the space. 

What we're pitching: A tool that reactivates lapsed non-profit donors through Meta's new direct messaging feature.

Hi Anne-Marie,

Meta just updated its platform to seriously compete with text messaging, allowing non-profits to match supporter contact information and send direct messages.

Initial campaigns show that almost 1 in 5 lapsed supporters are reactivated, costing only $0.36 per reactivated supporter.

Your supporters haven't stopped caring about your cause. Their attention has just moved to different platforms.

We see this as a big chance to re-engage past supporters before Giving Tuesday and year-end giving.

Would you be interested in an invite to our 30-minute webinar next week?

MissionInbox

What it does? An email infrastructure and deliverability platform that gives you isolated servers and dedicated IPs.

Why we love it? It stops our sending reputation getting dragged down by other people on shared IP pools, which is a common reason cold emails quietly start landing in spam. Good for teams sending at volume who want proper control over their infrastructure.

Next steps: Have a look at missioninbox!

Tip of the Week 💡

Don’t make your cold emails perfect. 

A few spelling mistakes might actually get you more replies.

A message with the odd typo reads like a busy human typed it in a hurry. And busy humans get replies.

Caveat: don't misspell the person's name, their company, or your own product. Those still matter. This is about the odd typo in the body, not looking careless where it counts.

How To Build The Ultimate Lead Magnet

Hosted by brothers Felix and Penn Frank, Co-Founders @ StackOptimise.

1. The Product

Enter Blume.

One place for one person to manage LinkedIn posts across your entire team.

Spin up posts in seconds using old content, competitor posts, industry news, viral templates and more.

Once they go live, see which buyers are engaging, push them into your CRM or outreach, and track exactly what’s working across the team.

And everything you do in Blume makes it smarter. So the longer you use it, the better the content gets and the harder your brand becomes to ignore.

2. The Story

Felix and I started posting on LinkedIn to grow StackOptimise. It worked.

So we got the team posting too. That worked even better.

But not for long. People weren’t posting consistently, people didn’t know what to post, and we had no clear view of what the whole team was putting out or what was actually working.

There was no tool that did what we needed. So we built our own. Over the last 12 months, we’ve turned that internal tool into a proper SaaS product.

Employee-generated content is the next big thing. It’s one of the fastest and most affordable ways to get your brand seen everywhere. And Blume helps you act on it.

3. The Price

Free to try. No card required. Then:

• 1–4 profiles: $29 per profile/month

• 5–10 profiles: $25 per profile/month

• 11+ profiles: $20 per profile/month

Unlimited admin seats. You only pay for connected profiles.

This one opens with humour and self-awareness, which is a pattern interrupt. Then it gets specific fast. The body builds trust because it shows the sender understands how companies at that stage actually operate.

What we're pitching: Fixed-fee, on-demand legal support for scaling tech and IT services companies.

Good day Robert!

Brace yourself for a sexy topic. Legals.

I know it's dull as hell, but obviously quite important when you're managing things like contractual liability for client data breaches or navigating disputes over intellectual property ownership.

No call needed - most companies your size have someone in ops or finance reviewing legal stuff without proper legal sign-off, which gets risky fast. We offer fixed-fee, on-demand legal support and I imagine you're busy (good luck).

Do you mind if I just share how other IT services companies set this up so legal work basically becomes frictionless and hassle-free?

What we're pitching: Automated event page platform for sports and entertainment organisations.

Hey Ryan,

Is your team still copying event info from Ticketmaster onto the website every time a new show goes up, like the Allstate Sugar Bowl New Year's Parade?

We built a web platform specifically for sports organisations like yours, and we're rolling out a direct sync with Ticketmaster. When shows go live, on-brand event pages and What's On listings build themselves. No embeds, no copy-paste.

Sleeping Village made the switch and cut 75% of their web admin time.

This template uses a pattern interrupt - instead of opening with flattery or a question. It leads with an observation about the recipient's own business category. That's unusual enough to hold attention. Then it stacks three specific pain points. And the CTA is deliberately vague.

What we're pitching: Product marketing activation platform for e-commerce and CPG brands.

Hi Keely,

For a non-alcoholic beverage company like Real American Beer, it's common to notice:

As marketing systems gather more data, they naturally concentrate resources on a select few top-performing products.

Eventually, much of the broader product inventory can quietly stop getting adequate exposure.

New beverage introductions often struggle to build momentum, and older, less active items aren't thoroughly tested.

Some teams address this by running structured activation campaigns for new and underexposed products, ensuring they truly get seen and tested.

Would you be interested in learning more about this process?

2️⃣ Setup: "I know Apple stands for simplicity - so I've cut the fluff and just accepted my fate in your spam folder."

3️⃣ Punchline: "Don't make me fly to Cupertino just to knock on your office door."

Hi Sophie,

Next steps: 🔗 Worth trying if your current lists feel like exhausted.

Tip of the Week 💡

A personalised screenshot or simple visual can lower inbox placement while improving response rates from the people who actually see the email.

Here's the maths:

80% inbox rate x 1% reply rate = 80 replies
70% inbox rate x 1.8% reply rate = 126 replies

This template works because it assumes the prospect is already sorted - and then gently suggests they might not be. That lowers the guard immediately because you're not asking them to switch anything. 

What we're pitching: A vendor-matching service that benchmarks your current setup against better-fit alternatives.

Hi Laura,

I hope everything with your current operations partner is going well, as we often find that businesses are surprised by the other options available today.

For most brands, the primary source of unhappy customers has little to do with the products or the website's ease of use. It's the post-purchase experience with shipping and delivery that tends to be the problem.

I would guess that you already have a partner you're working with and aren't actively looking to make a change.

That said, the market has become incredibly competitive, and many businesses are taken aback by what's now on offer. Think of this as a no-cost way to check your current setup against the market.

We analyse our network of over 200 vetted partners to find the three that are the best fit for your specific brand, sales volume, and product type.

Would it be okay for me to send your top three matches over?

Exa.ai

Why we love it: If you're doing any kind of lead research or enrichment at scale, Exa is quite useful. You can search for things like "AI-first SaaS companies hiring senior backend engineers in Spain" and actually get results. It plugs into Clay, works with most AI agent setups, and their Google Sheets add-on is handy for quick enrichment jobs. The semantic search is genuinely better than keyword-based alternatives for finding niche prospects.

Next steps: 🔗 Worth testing alongside whatever you're currently using for lead data.

Tip of the Week 💡

Most people use LinkedIn outbound wrong.

They treat it like a follow-up sequence instead of prioritising warm intent first.

A better approach:

1. Engage people already responding to your emails, ads, or inbound forms

2. Reach out to identified website visitors

3. Target people engaging with your customers

4. Connect with your competitors' audience

5. Then go fully cold

Start with the highest intent leads before blasting cold connection requests.

This email names the problem better than the prospect could. Instead of leading with what the product does, it leads with the hidden cost the prospect already feels but hasn't quite put into words. 

What we're pitching: An AI-powered tender analysis tool for public sector procurement teams.

Hi Rachel,

Navigating the volume of public sector contracts takes considerable effort - and the subtle inefficiency isn't just about identifying tenders, it's the hours your bid teams invest qualifying opportunities that don't quite fit, drawing focus from genuinely strong prospects.

Our AI, Prism Analytics, directly addresses this. It reads each tender description in seconds: summarising contract scope and key deliverables, helping to qualify relevance, and surfacing critical information.

Hey Sarah,

I noticed Meridian's been pushing traffic to the new pricing page - looks like you're gearing up for a Q2 push based on the LinkedIn hiring activity around demand gen.

We've built something that identifies those anonymous visitors and gives you their email addresses - people who were actually on your site, checking pricing, reading case studies. Not scraped lists. Not intent signals. Actual visitors.

First 10,000 emails are free. After that it's 10p per email.

Why we love it: The tools sits underneath Clay or any kind of automated workflow.

Tip of the Week 💡

Most cold emails fail because they create an objection they never address.

Example: "We help companies scale outbound."

The prospect reads that and immediately thinks - "we've already got an agency doing that."

So they don't reply.

Now add one line: "Most of our clients already had an agency - we work alongside them."

That one extra line removes doubt before the prospect clicks away.

What we're pitching: Outbound lead generation services for B2B companies. 

Hi James,

Saw you're hiring two SDRs this quarter. Thought you could be looking into how to ramp them faster without burning through your lead lists.

Typically new reps take 3-4 months before they're booking consistently - and in the meantime, they're sending volume that's not converting.

Meaning you're paying for headcount that isn't producing, and potentially damaging domain reputation in the process.

We helped a Series A fintech get their new hires booking 15+ meetings per month within 6 weeks using a structured outbound system and pre-built sequences.

If we could help you hit that kind of ramp time, would that be worth a chat?

Next steps: Worth trying if you are serious about scaling outbound.

Tip of the Week 💡

Template of the Week 📕

This template works because it uses a shared experience to establish common ground without being salesy. The sender positions themselves as an authority without bragging about it. 

What we're pitching: Consulting or training services for nonprofit organisations.

Hey Joelle,

How's your week going?

I noticed you were also at the CauseVox summit recently. I ran a session there about turning social media followers into donors.

It looks like you might not have made that one - I know how busy these events can be!

Happy to send over the insights and tactics we're seeing work right now so you didn't miss out.

Wiza

What it does: Turns LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches into verified email lists - exports contacts with validated emails in real-time.

Why we love it: It's one of the more reliable tools for getting accurate emails straight from Sales Nav. The verification happens as we export, so we're not dealing with bounce rates later. If you're running any kind of volume outreach off LinkedIn searches, this saves a lot of cleanup work.

Next steps: Worth having a look at if you build a list using Sales Navigator.

Tip of the Week 💡

You need at least 1 of these 3 things for outbound to work in 2026:

1. Truly differentiated offer

2. Outstanding social proof

3. Creative lead magnet strategy

That's it. If you don't have any of these, you're just another email in the inbox.

This works because of one idea, one ask. There's no feature list, no social proof paragraph, no "we help companies like yours" filler. It leads with a bold offer, explains it in two lines, and asks one simple question. 

What we're pitching: A sales engagement platform that helps outbound teams build, automate and manage multi-channel sequences.

Hi James,

GetSales.io builds and launches your first 3 outbound sequences for free - we set up the steps, write the copy, and get them running in your existing tool.

After that it's a flat monthly fee. No contract, cancel anytime.

Want me to send a quick video of how it works?

MasterInbox 

What it does: Centralises all your outbound replies across multiple inboxes and email accounts into one place so nothing slips through.

Why we love it: When you're running multiple sending accounts across a team, managing replies gets messy fast. MasterInbox pulls everything into a single view so we're not jumping between inboxes to find who replied to what. It keeps our response time tight and makes sure warm leads don't go cold just because someone missed a reply buried in a secondary inbox.

Next steps: If you're managing more than two sending accounts, it's worth a look.

Tip of the Week 💡

One idea per email. That's it.

Most cold emails fail because the email is trying to say too many things at once:

• Price per lead

• Resolution rates

• Feature breakdowns

• Case studies

All in the same message.

This works because of research-led relevance. Referencing something specific from a public document - like an annual report or a hiring post - shows you've actually done your homework.

What we're pitching: A payroll and HR SaaS platform that helps companies manage multi-country payroll compliantly as they expand into new markets.

Hi John,

Was reading through Meridian's FY24 annual report and saw you're expanding into the US from the UK next year.

With that comes multi-country payroll - curious how you're planning to handle it? Most companies going through a similar move end up either overpaying a PEO or spending months getting a local entity set up before they can hire anyone.

We help teams like yours run UK and US payroll from a single platform without needing a separate legal entity on day one. Rippling did something similar when they scaled into Europe and cut their payroll ops time by around 40%.

Worth a quick chat, or happy to send over how it typically works for companies at your stage?

The Swarm

What it does: Maps your team's collective network so you can find warm intro paths to any prospect - rather than going in cold every time.

Why we love it:  Before reaching out cold to a new account, we run it through The Swarm first to see if anyone in our network already has a relationship there. A warm intro, even a loose one, makes a noticeable difference to reply rates. It's quite a simple but underrated idea. 

Next steps: 🔗 Worth connecting your team's LinkedIn and seeing what intro paths come up for your top 10 target accounts - theswarm.com

Tip of the Week 💡

Stop sending "any thoughts?" follow-ups. Nobody replies to those.

If a thread's gone cold, try a bit of humour instead of another polite nudge.

It doesn't have to be a joke - just something a bit unexpected. Maybe a self-aware subject line, a one-liner about the fact you've emailed three times, something topical. It breaks the pattern.

Subject line ex:

- I'm starting to think you're testing my persistence
- Did my emails go to spam or are you just not that into me?
