“Some people have a way with words. Others not have way.” - Steve Martin
Chat GPT must be tired of writing emails for salespeople by now. I mean, it has got to be right up there among the top requests.
Why?
Because most reps are writing emails about themselves.
Most outreach sounds like:
- “We offer…”
- “We specialize in…”
- “I wanted to introduce myself…”
And the prospect thinks:
“So what?”
Because they don’t care about what you do.
They care about what they’re dealing with.
Better emails focus on them:
- A problem they might have
- A situation they’re in
- An opportunity they’re missing
This is what people are really searching for when they look up how to write B2B prospecting emails that actually get replies.
Because response doesn’t come from being clever.
It comes from being relevant.
Short. Clear. Focused on them.
That’s what gets attention.
If your emails feel like they’re going into a black hole, it’s probably not the channel—it’s the message.
