We’ve received many requests for more job title coverage, and we hear you!
Job titles go a long way towards personalizing your cold emails, as they provide insights into the recipient's responsibilities and authority, making your outreach feel more relevant and targeted. However, you can achieve great personalization even without referencing job titles.
Interestingly, We've achieved significant success in personalizing emails without relying on job titles.
Here’s our approach:
Acknowledge Their Value
In your email openers, highlight the prospect's value by recognizing their significant role within the company. Here are a couple of examples:
"Noticed you're a key player in Client Ascension's marketing efforts."
"Noticed you're a key decision maker at ListKit."
Why It Works
These lines are simple but effective. They:
Address their seniority: You’re implicitly recognizing their role and contributions.
Acknowledge their importance: This approach appeals to their sense of value within the organization.
All of this grabs the prospect’s attention and encourages them to read further — without ever referencing their job title! Unlike job title-based personalization, this method focuses on universal acknowledgment of value, making it adaptable across industries and roles, while still maintaining a personal touch.
Try these strategies out in your next cold email campaign, and track metrics like open rates and reply rates to measure their effectiveness. Let us know how they work for you!
