Template 1: Cold Email (Zendesk Users)

Subject: AI for {Company} support tickets?

Hi {FirstName},

I noticed {Company} uses Zendesk - we built an AI tool that analyzes support tickets to find patterns and recommendations.

What it does:
• Identifies common customer issues automatically
• Predicts churn risk for each customer
• Generates weekly insight reports
• Saves 5-10 hours per week per support agent

We're at $249/mo with a 14-day free trial. No credit card required.

Would you be open to a 10-minute demo this week?

Best,
{Your Name}
Founder, Support Intelligence

Template 2: LinkedIn Connection Request

Note: Keep under 200 characters

Hi {FirstName}, I help support teams at companies like {Company} save 10+ hours/week with AI ticket analysis. Would love to connect and share what we're building!

Template 3: LinkedIn Message (After Connection)

Subject: Quick question about {Company} support

Hi {FirstName},

Thanks for connecting! I help support teams work smarter with AI.

Question: How does {Company} currently handle ticket analysis? If you ever feel like you have too many tickets to review manually, I'd love to show you what we've built.

No pressure - just happy to help if it makes sense.

Best,
{Your Name}

Template 4: Follow-up Email (Day 7)

Subject: Re: AI for support tickets

Hi {FirstName},

Just circling back on this - I know support teams are always busy, so no worries if now isn't the right time.

Quick question: Would it help if I sent you a 2-minute video showing how it works? That way you can see if it's relevant before we schedule anything.

Either way, best of luck with everything!

Best,
{Your Name}

Template 5: Post-Demo Follow-up

Subject: Next steps for {Company}

3. I'm here to help with onboarding - just reply to this email

Any questions, just let me know!

Template 6: Trial Ending Reminder

Subject: Your trial ends in 3 days - thoughts?

Hi {FirstName},

Just a reminder that your 14-day trial ends in 3 days.

Template 7: Win-Back (Cancelled Customers)

Subject: Sorry to see you go + offer

Hi {FirstName},

As a thank you for giving us a try, I'd like to offer you 50% off for your next 6 months if you decide to come back.

Personalization Tips

  5. Ask one specific question
  6. End with a clear call-to-action

Common Objections & Responses

"Too expensive"

"I understand budget is important. Many of our customers found that the time savings alone (5-10 hours/week) pays for the tool. Would a 30-day money-back guarantee help reduce the risk?"

"Not the right time"

"Totally understand. When would be a better time to reconnect? Next month? I'll follow up then."

"We already have similar tools"

"That's great! What do you currently use? I'm curious if our AI analysis adds anything different."

"Send me more info"

"Absolutely! Here's a quick video: [link]. Let me know if you have any questions after watching."

Best Practices

  1. Send emails Tue-Thu mornings (best open rates)
  2. Personalize the first line (not just the greeting)
  3. Keep subject lines under 50 characters
  4. Use plain text emails (no HTML templates)
  5. Include your real email signature
  6. Test different send times
  7. Track everything in a spreadsheet
