Copy, customize, send. Free forever.**\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start\n\n1. **Pick a template** below (scroll to Templates)\n2. **Copy** it and fill in `{placeholders}` with your info\n3. **Optional:** Verify your claims with Company Brain (`clawhub install company-brain-os`)\n\n**Time to first email:** ~5 minutes\n\n---\n\n## Templates\n\n### 1. The \"Observational\" Opener\n\n**Best for:** First contact, showing you did research\n\n```\nHi {name},\n\nI was looking at {company}'s recent {project/initiative} and noticed {specific observation}.\n\nThat made me think — are you currently {related challenge}?\n\nIf yes, I have a {specific result} that might help.\n\nWorth a 5-minute conversation?\n\n{signature}\n```\n\n**Example:**\n```\nHi Sarah,\n\nI was looking at Acme Corp's recent expansion into APAC and noticed your team grew from 12 to 34 people in 6 months.\n\nThat made me think — are you currently onboarding faster than your systems can handle?\n\nIf yes, we just reduced onboarding ramp time from 90 to 14 days for a similar-stage company.\n\nWorth a 5-minute conversation?\n\n— Anton, CertainLogic\n```\n\n---\n\n### 2. The \"Value First\" Opener\n\n**Best for:** Busy executives who screen aggressively\n\n```\n{name} — {specific result} without {common objection}.\n\nThat's what we just did for {similar company}.\n\nWant the 2-minute breakdown?\n\n{signature}\n```\n\n**Example:**\n```\nJames — 3x faster agent responses without hiring more engineers.\n\nThat's what we just did for TechCorp.\n\nWant the 2-minute breakdown?\n\n— Anton, CertainLogic\n```\n\n---\n\n### 3. The \"Question\" Opener\n\n**Best for:** Starting conversations, not pushing demos\n\n```\nHi {name},\n\nQuick question: How does {company} currently handle {specific pain point}?\n\nI ask because we built {solution} for {similar company} and they saw {specific result}.\n\nNot pitching — genuinely curious about your approach.\n\n{signature}\n```\n\n**Example:**\n```\nHi Marcus,\n\nQuick question: How does DataFlow currently handle agent hallucinations in production?\n\nI ask because we built a verification layer for StreamCo and they cut false-positives by 92%.\n\nNot pitching — genuinely curious about your approach.\n\n— Anton, CertainLogic\n```\n\n---\n\n### 4. The \"Follow-Up\" (Ghosted After 1st Email)\n\n**Best for:** Day 4-7 after no response\n\n```\nHi {name},\n\nWanted to float this to the top of your inbox.\n\nLast week I mentioned {specific result} for {similar company}.\n\nIf {pain point} isn't a priority right now, totally understand.\n\nIf it is, here's a 90-second video explaining how it works: {link}\n\n{signature}\n```\n\n---\n\n### 5. The \"Break-Up\" (Final Email)\n\n**Best for:** Day 14, last attempt\n\n```\nHi {name},\n\nI haven't heard back, so I'm going to assume {pain point} isn't a priority for {company} right now.\n\nFair enough — timing is everything.\n\nI'll check back in a few months. If things change, feel free to reach out.\n\n{signature}\n\nP.S. — Here's a free resource on {related topic} that helped 3 companies similar to yours: {link}\n```\n\n---\n\n## Free vs Pro\n\n| Feature | Free | Pro (Coming Soon) |\n|---------|------|-------------------|\n| Templates | 5 proven formulas | 20+ formulas + custom |\n| Personalization | Manual | AI-powered research |\n| Follow-up schedule | You track it | Automated sequences |\n| Send volume | Unlimited (you handle) | Unlimited + tracking |\n| A/B testing | ❌ | ✅ |\n| CRM integration | ❌ | HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive |\n\n**Pro version:** Not yet available.
