A cold outreach workflow that starts with relevance.

Find the right people, write a useful introduction and keep follow-ups organised.

Relay editorial · 18 October 2026

Start with the right people

Define the type of business you can help, the problem you solve and the evidence you need to judge fit. A focused prospect list gives your introduction a clear reason to exist.

Write a useful introduction

Explain why you are reaching out, make one specific connection to the business and describe a relevant outcome. Keep claims accurate. Let AI help with a first draft, then review the details and tone yourself.

Give follow-ups a purpose

Keep each follow-up brief and add a useful detail. Stop when someone declines and honour opt-out requests. Check the rules that apply to your audience and location before starting outreach.

Automate the routine, keep the judgement

Use a repeatable workflow to organise prospects, prepare drafts and track replies. Review recipients and messages before enabling delivery. Start with a small batch and improve relevance as you learn.
