Your B2B outbound copy is bound to fail if you don’t have these basics nailed down. It doesn’t matter how impressive your personalization efforts are—getting the fundamentals right is crucial. Here are the key aspects you need to focus on when crafting your outbound copy: 1. Ideal Customer Profile: Clearly identify who you want to target. Define your ICP on two levels: Company What industry is your ideal customer in? How big are they? Do they work with specific techs? Answer these questions by working back from the pain point your solution solves for. For which companies is that pain point the most intense and prevalent? Contact At a given company in your ICP, who would be the best point of contact? There are often multiple people or ‘personas’) at a given company who are suitable contacts. However, each persona might experience the pain point you solve for in very different ways. Therefore, it’s important to vary your copy for each persona you reach out to 2. Problem Statement: Pinpoint the exact problem you are solving for this ICP. 3. Solution Description: Provide a concise explanation of how you solve this problem and what sets your solution apart from others. 4. Social Proof: Including social proof in your copy will help build credibility and trust. If possible, try to include case studies and results that are relevant to the recipient. Including a case study from a company in your recipient’s industry will be far more beneficial than a non-relevant case study. 5. Trigger/Signal: The cold email that is MOST likely to be engaged with has three things: the right message, the right recipient, and the right timing. Most people focus on the first two. To perfect the message, they spend time and resources on developing the perfect copy and personalizations. To perfect the recipient, they obsess over properly defining their ICP and building the perfect lead list. They do all that work, then send the email at a time when the pain point their solution solves for is not being most intensely felt by the recipient. Use a specific trigger to ensure that your message is well timed. A trigger can really be almost anything but a few example of triggers are: - a company raises funding - a company sees significant headcount growth - a contact switches jobs - etc. Your trigger can also, in some cases, be useful for developing a relevant introduction in your copy. Use Clay and other tools to find those triggers. What foundational elements do you prioritize in your outbound strategy? #outbound #clay

I borrowed this concept from Seth Godin, and it’s stuck with me: in B2B, you need a story. Not just a product pitch, not just features and benefits—a story that gives your buyer a reason to say, “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.” A story they can take to their boss that explains the why, not just the what. Most great stories start with a shift happening in the world. These aren’t just facts—they’re drivers of movements. HubSpot created 𝘐𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨. Slack defined 𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. In transportation, Geotab enabled the 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮. Each company sold a vision of a new way to work, then backed it up with the tools to make it happen. And the secret to keeping your story alive? 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲. When you can boil your story down to two words, everyone in your company—from sales to engineering—can use it as a north star. • “𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨.” • “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘐𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥.” Too many B2B companies overcomplicate their messaging, making it hard for employees—or customers—to tell the story. As Godin states, “𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘫𝘰𝘣 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘴𝘴. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘐 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦.” The story gives your product meaning. It is of course more than a 2-word phrase, but it starts with a simple concept. Your brand story and strategy grows from there. Your story should connect your solution to the bigger picture, and that’s what moves people—especially within technical B2B spaces where messages are often lost in the details. So, what’s your story? Better yet, what are your two words?

70% of outbound B2B emails are never opened. Let me break some myths for you. ↳ Personalization alone won’t save your emails. ↳ “Perfect timing” is a myth in B2B. ↳ And no, just shortening the subject line isn’t the answer. Here’s what works: 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 + 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 + 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞. I call it the 𝐂𝐒𝐕 formula. It’s simple, and it works like magic. Here’s how I do it… #1. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐠𝐚𝐩” 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲. People open emails because they feel like they’re missing out on something important. Your job is to create that gap. Here's an example: ↳ “Why your MQL strategy is costing you $50K/month” ↳ “The one KPI every SaaS company is ignoring (and it’s costing millions)” #2. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜 “𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬,” 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜. Here's an example: ↳ “How [Company X] doubled their pipeline in 90 days with this framework” ↳ “What [Industry Leader] does differently to win enterprise deals” Specificity + a relatable industry = trust. #3. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞. Here's an example: ↳ “What’s the biggest bottleneck in your Q1 pipeline?” ↳ “Is your ABM strategy ready for 2025?” A well-crafted question opens a loop in the reader’s mind. They have to open to find out more. #4. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. Keep it under 9 words, and lead with a verb or result. Here's an example: ↳ “Boost conversions by 30% with this simple tweak” ↳ “Cut your sales cycle in half—here’s how” 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐩: Use “preheaders” as a secret weapon. Most marketers waste the preheader with filler. Stop that. Your preheader is your subject line’s best friend—it reinforces the value and builds intrigue. Here's an example combo: ↳ Subject: “Your Q1 pipeline is leaking leads” ↳ Preheader: “Here’s the fix that increased our clients’ close rates by 40%.” Stop following tired email advice and start testing strategies that actually work. You’ll never look at your inbox the same way again. What’s your go-to subject line hack? Let’s share strategies. 👇🏼 REPOST 🔁 if you found some value in it. Sourabh Pandey
