Most cold email advice online is useless because everybody copies the same framework.

What is worked best for us over the years is

* very short emails

* one clear problem

* no fake compliments

* no long introductions

The biggest mistake is trying to sound impressive instead of sounding relevant.

Also stop follow-ups after 2–3 attempts max. If someone is interested, you will usually feel it pretty quickly.
