Sure. I'll help as my company does cold email as a service.

Greeting SNIP Relevance CTA

Hey Bold,

Saw your HN question about an example of an "ice cold polar bear kind of email."

I write emails like this all day for companies like Boldslogan. Would be happy to walk your through it in 10 or 12 minutes.

Zoom on Tuesday or Wed?

FWIW this sort of email triggers my immediate shutdown reactions in several ways: use of "Hey" greeting from some unknown non-friend, general (albeit here not total) avoidance of first-person pronouns[1], phony-baloney specificity in time and duration for an initial meeting.

[1] "Saw your email," "Would love to hear more"--no, avoiding "I" does not make the writer appear stronger.

It doesn't work all the time, but it works well enough.
