Ask before pitching
Asks whether a short pitch is welcome before sending one. Low pressure, good reply rates.
Free to sign up; sending costs $1 per 1,000 emails. Already have an account? Create a draft from this template. Nothing sends until you launch.
Fill-in starter. Text in [square brackets] is yours to write. Inboxed highlights it in the editor and won’t launch until it’s replaced.
Subject lines
- Okay to send you something short?(used in the template)
- Can I send you a short idea?
Follow-ups reply in the same thread, so they’re sent as “Re:” the first subject.
The sequence: 2 emails
Email 1 · day 1
Okay to send you something short?
Hi {{first_name}}, I have an idea that could help {{company}} with [problem area]. It takes about two minutes to read. Would you like me to send it over? A yes or no is completely fine. {{sender_first_name}}
Email 2 · day 5 (4 days after the previous one, if there’s no reply)
Re: Okay to send you something short?
Hi {{first_name}}, Just checking this didn't get buried. If now isn't a good time, let me know and I'll leave it there. {{sender_first_name}}
{{first_name}} and similar are filled from each lead; after a “|” is the text used when the field is empty. Written for any business; you fill in the problem area.
When to use it
When you'd rather ask before pitching, for example with senior or busy readers.
Why it works
- Asking permission is respectful and makes 'yes, send it' an easy reply.
- No pitch and no link in the first email.
How to adapt it
- Replace [problem area] with the problem your idea addresses.
