Subject
Quick question about {company}
Hi {name}, Saw the news about {company} {recent_event}. Congrats on the momentum. We help companies like {similar_company} {specific_result} without {pain_point}. Worth a 10-minute call this week?
AI note: AI fills {recent_event} from web scraping. No manual research needed.
Subject
Re: {company} outreach
Hi {name}, Bumping this up. {similar_company} went from 3% to 7% reply rate in 30 days after switching their outreach approach. Happy to share what worked. Still worth a quick call?
AI note: Sent automatically on day 3 if no reply. Adds social proof instead of just checking in.
Subject
Ideas for {company}'s {initiative}
Hi {name}, Was looking at {company}'s {strategy} and spotted a gap: {improvement_opportunity}. No ask, just thought it might be useful given where you're headed. Worth a 10-minute chat to share the full picture?
AI note: Works when the AI finds a public initiative or job posting signaling intent.
Subject
Closing the loop on {company}
Hi {name}, Last note from me. Totally understand if the timing isn't right. If things change and {pain_point} becomes a priority, I'm easy to find. Good luck with {initiative}.
AI note: Sent on day 15. Respectful close often triggers replies from prospects who were just busy.
Subject lines
Subject lines the AI generates per prospect
Under 50 characters, personal, no salesy words. The AI picks the pattern and fills in prospect-specific details from web scraping. Nothing you touch manually.
Question-based
Questions trigger curiosity. The AI generates these from scraped company signals.
Personalized
References something real about the prospect, found automatically via web scraping.
Value-first
Leads with something useful. Best for cold outreach to busy founders.
Social proof
Leads with a reference company the prospect recognizes. AI picks by industry.
Keep subject lines under 50 characters. Mobile cuts off at 40. Put the most compelling word first. The AI A/B tests subject line variants automatically and shifts volume to the winner.
Follow-up sequences
The 5-step sequence your AI SDR runs on autopilot
Most replies come after email 3 or 4. The AI keeps prospects in the sequence automatically until they reply or the sequence ends. No manual follow-up needed.
First contact
Specific opener from a scraped signal about the prospect. One clear question, under 100 words.
Relevant openers get 3x more replies than generic intros.
Social proof bump
Adds a concrete result from a similar company. Never "just checking in."
Most reps stop here. The AI keeps going, and most replies come after email 3.
Value add
Shares a relevant insight, resource, or observation tied to the prospect's business.
Adds new value instead of repeating the ask. Keeps the conversation open.
New angle
Tries a different pain point or use case if the first angle got no traction.
What did not land in email 1 might land here. AI adapts the angle automatically.
Respectful close
Closes the loop professionally. No pressure, no guilt. Easy to reply to.
Breakup emails often get replies from prospects who were just busy. Keeps the door open.
Reply rates jump from 3% to 7% when prospects stay in a full 5-step sequence. The AI runs the whole thing on autopilot, 24/7.
Industry examples
How the AI SDR adapts its angle to your industry
The same loop runs in every vertical: find lead, write email, follow up, book meeting. The angle, opener, and case study reference shift per industry automatically.
SaaS companies
ROI-first, trial-to-paid conversion
Subject
How {similar_saas} cut churn 22%
Opener
Hi {name}, saw {company} just added {feature} to the product. Teams using that often hit a wall around {pain_point}. We fixed it for {similar_company} in under a week.
AI note: AI finds the product launch signal from a job posting or ProductHunt listing.
Agencies and services
Case study-driven, niche credibility
Subject
{agency_type} teams use this for {result}
Opener
Hi {name}, we work with {agency_type} agencies specifically. {similar_agency} booked 12 new client calls last month without adding headcount.
AI note: Agency vertical narrows fast. AI picks the relevant case study automatically.
E-commerce and retail
Partnership outreach, supplier negotiations
Subject
Partnership idea for {company}
Opener
Hi {name}, noticed {company} is expanding into {category}. We help brands in that space {specific_result}. Worth a 10-minute call to see if it fits?
AI note: AI detects expansion signals from press releases and product page changes.
Enterprise sales
Multi-stakeholder, security-aware, ROI-focused
Subject
{company}'s Q{quarter} {goal}
Opener
Hi {name}, your team is likely evaluating options for {initiative}. We helped {enterprise_reference} achieve {result} with a pilot that ran in 30 days.
AI note: Enterprise sequences are longer: 7 steps over 21 days. AI adjusts cadence automatically.
Common mistakes
6 mistakes that kill reply rates, and how the AI avoids them
Most cold email tools put these mistakes on you. FirstSales handles them automatically so your AI SDR never digs your domain into a hole.
Skipping domain warm-up
Sending from a new domain without warm-up puts you in spam from day one.
FirstSales runs a 21-day smart warm-up automatically. No configuration required.
Generic openers
Hi {name}, I wanted to reach out about our product. It helps companies like yours...
AI references something specific from the prospect's company, found via web scraping.
Asking for 30 minutes first email
High-friction asks get deleted. Asking for time before earning attention does not work.
Ask one yes/no question. Build enough interest that a short call feels worth it.
Links in email 1
Links in first emails trigger spam filters. The email never reaches the inbox.
No links in email 1. Save links for follow-ups once the conversation has started.
Just checking in follow-ups
Bumping a thread with no new value annoys prospects and kills reply rates.
Every follow-up in the AI sequence adds a new angle, case study, or insight.
Unclean lists
Sending to invalid emails and spam traps destroys sender reputation fast.
Auto list cleaning runs before every send. Included free. Competitors charge +$47/mo.
Comparison
They just send. We run the whole SDR loop.
Instantly, Lemlist, and Smartlead give you a sending tool. FirstSales gives you an AI SDR that finds the leads, writes the emails, follows up, and books the meeting.
Competitor pricing based on published entry-level plans as of 2024. List cleaning for competitors is a paid add-on.
Pro tips
How to get the most out of your AI SDR
The AI handles the execution. These tips tell you how to set it up for the best results before you hand the keys over.
Let the AI research, not you
FirstSales scrapes the web to find signals about each prospect before writing. You do not need to research manually. The more you trust the automation, the more you scale.
One clear ask per email
Ask for one specific thing in each email. The AI is configured to do this by default. A yes/no question outperforms a multi-option ask every time.
Protect the domain first
The 21-day warm-up and auto list cleaning run before any campaign. Skipping them breaks deliverability. Let them finish before pushing volume.
Let the sequence run to completion
Reply rates jump from 3% to 7% when prospects reach email 4 or 5. Resist the urge to pause a sequence early. The AI follows up at the right cadence automatically.
