22 Best B2B Cold Email Templates to Get Your Leads' Attention

HubSpot Free Beginner

Use these as a starting structure, not a script to copy and paste to a thousand people, since that second use is exactly the spam our short answer warns against. Each template is built around a different context (value led, problem led, trigger led), which is a useful way to think about matching your message to why a specific prospect actually needs you.

  • Templates are a starting structure for personalization, not a replacement for it.
  • Different situations call for different openers, value led versus problem led versus trigger led.
  • Real response and open rate data is included, so you can see which structures tend to work.
