For the best outreach results, you can tweak your AI-generated campaign by following this 10-rules checklist:

[ ] You address the prospects' pain points
[ ] You use line breaks after every sentence
[ ] Your cold emails contain 50 to 100 words
[ ] There's an apparent reason why you got in touch
[ ] Your subject lines are all lowercase, and up to 2 words
[ ] You use the simple language that 10 year old understands
[ ] You show what impact an action will have on your prospect's key metric
[ ] There aren't "fluff" sentences such as "Hope you're well" that don't bring value
[ ] There are enough days between each follow-up to give your leads time to answer

P.S. You can take your personalization step further with lemlist custom variables to show your prospects you're willing to go the extra mile & boost your reply chances:

[ ] use text variables to automatically personalize any part of your message to grab leads' attention and build trust (e.g., intro line, pitch, CTA).

[ ] use image variables with leads' names, logos, website screenshots, etc., to stand out from competitors' emails

[ ] use video variables & custom thumbnails to give value to your prospects on a more personal level
