Here are 3 Sales Cadences (with cold Email Sequence) you can use for your prospecting campaigns today:


Cadence #1 - 10 Touch Points in 10 Days

Below is a simple, yet effective 10-touch point sales cadence From Sales Hub CEO Max Altschuler.

  1. Day 1: Email/InMail
  2. Day 3: Email in the morning, Call in the afternoon
  3. Day 5: Call in the morning, Call with a voicemail in the afternoon
  4. Day 7: Email in the morning, Call in the afternoon with a voicemail
  5. Day 10: Email and call in the morning

What we like:

✅ Simple, easy to use
✅ Takes advantage of multiple channels
✅ Can be adjusted for email only


Cadence #2 - Our Internal Sales & Cold Email Sequence

Below is an internal sales and cold email cadence we use at Automailer.io The template has generated 120+ sales leads a month and can be implemented for any industry. NOTE: The use of social media and phone calls is optional.

  1. Day 1: Connect on Social media

  2. Day 1: Send short email (Email #1)

    Prospect may easily miss this one so hold on to your long, value driven email for now.

  3. Day 3: Call in the morning

  4. Day 3: Followup email (Email #2)

    Hit the prospect up with call and email. Two touch points in different channels will have a better impact. Send a value driven email message here.

  5. Day 5: Call in the morning (But a different time than the 1st call). Leave a voicemail about a free offer (case study, audit, etc.)

  6. Day 5: Send email about free offer. (Email #3)

    If your previous email was already about a free offer, send another value driven email message like highlighting some client testimonials.

  7. Day 7: Call in the afternoon

  8. Day 8: Breakup Email (Email #4). This email surprisingly works. Restate your value and assure them this is your final outreach. Add final offer if you need to.

 

What we like:

✅ Simple, easy to use
✅ Can be used as a standalone cold email sequence
✅ Highly effective. Tested across multiple industries
