What you need to know:

A great cold email system gets you more replies, from better prospects, in less time — and it works even when you're not perfect.

That’s what this course teaches: how to write cold emails that feel personal, without spending hours customizing. How to craft offers that actually get responses. How to sequence, follow up, and stand out in crowded inboxes.

Teams that master this skill consistently book more meetings than teams that don’t — no matter the industry.

If you don’t have a system, cold email becomes a grind with diminishing returns.

If you do, it becomes your most consistent pipeline lever.

We analyzed 85 million cold emails with Gong to find what actually gets replies in 2025. In this episode, Nick and Jason break down the exact cold email structure, CTAs, and personalization tactics top reps are using to book more meetings.


🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

  • Use The Reply Method framework: 4-sentence emails under 100 words outperform longer messages—make it skimmable, mobile-first, and frictionless to reply.
  • Avoid pitch language: Buzzwords and product-first copy reduce replies by up to 57%. Lead with problems your buyer already cares about, then layer in social proof.
  • Personalize to the company or activity: Personalization = 5x replies, but not all types are equal—company and activity-based personalization outperform personal trivia.
  • Offer something valuable in your CTA: Replace “Are you free?” with a compelling offer—benchmarking, expert insights, or 1:1 value that justifies a meeting even if they don’t buy.
