Definition
Cold email is outbound email sent to someone with no prior relationship — a sales prospect, a potential partner, an investor. Done well it's one of the highest-leverage channels in B2B; done badly it's spam. Good cold email has a clear, specific reason for writing to this exact person (not "to whom it may concern"), is short (under 100 words), names a problem they actually have, and asks for one small thing (a 15-minute call, a yes/no answer). Personalization at scale matters: research the prospect, mention something specific, then keep it tight. AI agents can help you draft personalized cold emails, design follow-up sequences, and write subject lines that get opened.
