Hi {{firstName}},
Most agencies your size live on referrals until a quiet month shows how fragile that is.
We set up and run cold email for agencies: mailboxes, lists and campaigns. One client booked 30 meetings in two months.

- Copy it into any AI tool, such as ChatGPT or Claude.
- Replace each {{field}} with real details about you and the person you're writing to. The more specific they are, the less generic the result.
- Check every fact, name and number in what comes back: AI can sound sure about things that aren't true.
- Cut it down if it runs long. A cold email reads best under about 75 words.
- Send it to yourself and read it on your phone before anyone else sees it.
