Claude

Claude consistently writes the most human-sounding cold emails. It avoids spam-trigger phrases like "Quick question" and "I hope this email finds you well", uses colloquial language that lowers the recipient's guard, and picks low-friction closers ("Worth a peek?") that earn replies.

Better when you need to send 50 emails tonight or want aggressive A/B variants. Faster but more generic — output usually needs more editing to remove clichés.

Frequently asked

  • Will my cold email land in spam?

    Probably not, if you (1) avoid spam-trigger phrases AI loves to use ("Quick question", "Just checking in"), (2) have proper SPF/DKIM/DMARC on your domain, and (3) avoid sending the same exact text to 500 people. Warm up new domains with tools like Instantly or Smartlead before high-volume outreach.

  • How personalized should each email be?

    One specific detail per email is enough. More feels creepy. Reference a recent post, hire, product launch, or news article — not their dog's name from LinkedIn.

  • Should I follow up if they don't reply?

    Yes — 3-4 follow-ups over 2-3 weeks is standard. Most replies come from follow-ups, not the first email. Each one should be shorter than the last.
