So what do I mean by outreach email? Sales and marketers alike typically send hundreds, if not thousands, of emails per week. In some instances these emails are sent to people we don’t know very well, or don’t know at all!

Your email contains something personal to the recipient, for example it might touch on a known pain point or a topic you know they are interested in. These things can be gleaned from social media channels such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. With this in mind, I thought it would be useful to give you a guide to the anatomy of an effective outreach email so that you can move away from the old ways, the cold ways.

By making sure your emails have the right content and are sent to the right people, subscribers are likely to associate your brand with these positive feelings.
