Why this template works
Opener — Trigger-event timing
Cold emails sent within 7 days of a major company event have 3-4x typical reply rates because relevance is obvious.
Before you send
- Add an unsubscribe link to the footer (CAN-SPAM § 5(a)(3))
- Include your physical mailing address in every commercial send (CAN-SPAM § 5(a)(5))
- Set the List-Unsubscribe + List-Unsubscribe-Post headers (Gmail/Yahoo Feb 2024 sender rules)
- Replace personalization placeholders before sending — never ship raw {{first_name}} to a recipient
- Send from a domain that's properly authenticated (SPF + DKIM + DMARC)
Sending through Superkabe handles every line above automatically.
