Cold Email Tactics in the AI Era: Stay Human First, Use AI for Editing
andrewchen · x · 2026-08-01
We are in the golden age of cold emails for sales, recruiting, and fundraises. To break through the noise generated by AI tools, experts recommend:
- Keep the first touch human: Handwrite the initial note and save AI for editing and follow-ups to maximize authenticity.
- Concise and reciprocal: Keep it under two paragraphs, make a clear ask (like a 15-min call), and deliver reciprocal value (e.g., a referral).
- Personalize: Clearly explain 'why you' and 'why now'.
