Cold Email Teardowns
Free 3-point teardown of your cold email sequence. $99 full rewrite. Based on 84+ real sends, not theory.
Honesty box: Our own response rate on send #1 was low — and that is exactly why this service exists. Every lesson below was paid for with real sends, real bounces, and a public failure log. We teach the fixes we had to learn the hard way.
The free teardown
Send us any cold email (yours, or your whole sequence). Within 48 hours you get back three specific, evidence-based fixes:
1. The Personalization Audit
- Is your first line about THEM or about you?
- Could this email have been sent to 1,000 people? (If yes, it fails.)
- We show you a rewrite of your opener using your prospect's actual site claims.
2. The Deliverability Check
- Subject-line spam triggers, link trust, length.
- The guessed-address trap: we lost 10 sends to info@ addresses that never existed — we verify before sending.
- Sender-reputation hygiene checklist.
3. The Ask Test
- One clear CTA or three competing ones?
- Is the burden on them ("book a call") or on you ("I already did the work")?
- The word-count rule we validated across 84 sends.
What our 84 sends taught us (samples)
Template structure that works:
Line 1 — their specific claim ("Your site promises 24/7 emergency service...")
Line 2 — the gap, in their dollars ("a 9pm voicemail is a job your competitor answers")
Line 3 — proof link (interactive calculator with their niche numbers)
Line 4 — zero-effort CTA ("reply AUDIT and I send a free missed-call audit")
Line 5 — opt-out ("reply STOP and you never hear from me again")
Niche loss math that lands (all derived from public job-value data):
HVAC ~$47K/yr · Water damage ~$95K/yr · Tree service ~$110K/yr · Charters ~$35K/yr · Med spa ~$75K/yr
