Cold Email Training

Write better cold emails with AI-powered scoring

How cold email training works

From prospect brief to scored feedback in under 3 minutes.

AI generates a realistic prospect from your ICP — their name, title, company, industry, company size, and a context clue you can use to personalise.

02

Write your cold email

Craft a subject line and email body from scratch. No templates to fill in — you write the email the way you'd send it for real.

03

Get scored and improve

AI scores your email across 6 dimensions with specific feedback. See what worked, what didn't, and get coaching tips to improve your next attempt.

Why cold email practice beats templates

Every SDR has access to cold email templates. Copy-paste a template, swap in the company name, hit send. The problem? Everyone else is doing the same thing. Your prospects can smell a template from the subject line.

Email challenges train a different skill: writing a compelling, personalised email from a blank page. You read a prospect brief, identify the angle, and craft something original. Then AI tells you exactly what's working and what isn't — across subject line, personalisation, value prop, CTA, brevity, and tone.

After 10-20 challenges, you'll notice your real reply rates improving — because you're building the muscle, not just copying the template.

Scored across 6 dimensions

Every email challenge gives you specific, actionable feedback — not just a generic score.

Subject Line

Is it compelling enough to open? Does it avoid spam triggers? Is it relevant to the prospect?

Personalisation

Did you use the context clue provided? Does the email feel written for this specific person, or could it go to anyone?

Value Proposition

Did you connect your product to the prospect's likely pain points? Is the benefit clear in under 5 seconds?

Call to Action

Is there a clear, low-friction ask? One CTA, not three. A meeting, not a 'let me know your thoughts.'

Brevity

Is the email scannable? Under 100 words? No walls of text, no life stories, no corporate jargon?

Tone

Does it sound like a human wrote it? Confident but not pushy, professional but not stiff?

Frequently asked questions

How do you train SDRs to write better cold emails?

The most effective cold email training combines two things: writing practice with fresh prospects (not templates) and immediate, specific feedback. Our email challenges give you an AI-generated prospect brief from your ICP, you write the email from scratch, and AI scores it across 6 dimensions — subject line, personalisation, value proposition, call to action, brevity, and tone. Each challenge takes 2-3 minutes. After 10-20 challenges, you'll notice your real reply rates improving.

What makes a good cold email for sales?

A good cold email has 5 elements: a subject line that earns the open (short, relevant, no spam triggers), a personalised first line that proves you did your research, a clear value proposition connected to the prospect's likely pain points, a single low-friction call to action, and brevity — under 100 words, scannable in 5 seconds. Our AI scoring evaluates all of these and tells you exactly where to improve.

Can AI score my cold emails?

Yes. Our AI analyses your email across 6 scoring dimensions: Subject Line (compelling, no spam triggers?), Personalisation (specific to this prospect?), Value Proposition (connected to their pain?), Call to Action (clear, single ask?), Brevity (under 100 words, scannable?), and Tone (human, confident, not pushy?). Each dimension gets specific feedback and coaching tips, not just a number.

Why is practice better than using cold email templates?

Every SDR has access to templates — and so do your prospects. They can smell a template from the subject line. Templates teach you to fill in blanks. Practice teaches you to think about the prospect, identify the angle, and write something original. After 20 email challenges, writing a compelling personalised email becomes second nature. That's a skill templates can't give you.

How are the prospect briefs generated?

Prospect briefs are generated from your company playbook — the AI-created profile of your product, ICP, buyer personas, and target market. Each brief includes a realistic prospect name, job title, company, industry, company size, and a personalisation context clue (like a recent funding round or product launch) that you can use to make your email specific.

What is a good reply rate for cold emails?

Industry benchmarks: 2-3% reply rate is average for mass outreach. 5-10% is good for targeted, personalised emails. Top-performing SDRs who write genuinely personalised emails consistently hit 10-15%. The difference almost always comes down to personalisation quality and relevance — exactly what email challenges train.
