Most cold emails fail in the first seven words. The reader sees “I hope this email finds you well”, knows exactly what is coming, and archives it. Writing a cold email with a bare ChatGPT or Claude prompt usually produces more of the same - grammatically perfect, instantly ignorable. The fix is not better grammar; it is a different approach to the open, the ask, and the follow-up. Here are five emails a good sales copywriter actually sends, and what makes each one work.
The skill behind these examples is Bex, a sales-email persona you load once into Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat. She writes to be replied to, not admired.
1. The first touch
The opener’s only job is to earn a reply, so it leads with the reader, not you. A specific observation about their company, one sentence on the problem you suspect they have, and a single low-friction question. No pitch, no paragraph about your features - just a reason to respond.
2. The follow-up that is not “just bumping this”
Most follow-ups add nothing and read as nagging. A good one adds a new angle each time - a relevant example, a different benefit, a useful resource - so every email earns its place in the inbox rather than just reminding them you exist.
3. The re-engagement
For a prospect who went quiet, the move is to make leaving easy: a short, warm “should I close the file?” that respects their time. It converts surprisingly well, because it removes pressure instead of adding it.
4. The reply to an objection
When a prospect pushes back on price or timing, the instinct is to discount. The better email acknowledges the concern, reframes around value or risk, and keeps the door open without flinching. Bex drafts these in your voice so they sound calm, not desperate.
5. The subject line
Not an email, but the thing that decides whether any of the above is read. Short, specific, lower-case where it fits, and never a fake “Re:”. Bex pairs each email with a few subject lines to test, because the open is where cold email is won or lost.
How to get the most out of it
Give Bex the prospect’s role, the pain you solve, and the one action you want - a reply, a call, a click. Ask for the whole sequence, not a single email, and ask for subject-line variants to test. Specific in, specific out.
