Cold email templates for B2B teams, ready to copy and adapt
Below are 9 complete B2B cold email templates with subject lines and bodies. Copy them as they are and fill in the fields in brackets, or let ColdReach adapt each one to every prospect by reading their company website, so the first line and the reason for writing are true for that one company.
Fill the brackets with facts you can check
Every field in brackets, such as [First name], [Company] or [Observation], needs a real detail. A template with a generic observation reads like bulk mail. Keep each email short, ask one question, and never claim a result you cannot show.
- Replace every bracket before sending
- Keep the subject line honest and specific
- Put your physical postal address in your signature, as CAN-SPAM requires
- Include a clear way to opt out

From one template to a personal email for each prospect
Choose a template as the structure of a sequence step. For every prospect, ColdReach reads the company website and public company profile, fills the [Observation] and [area] fields with what the company actually does, and writes a first line in the tone you picked. You see the finished draft for each prospect and approve or edit it before the first send by default.
- The structure stays yours, the details change for every company
- Drafts follow your tone: direct, friendly or consultative
- Starter includes 1,000 AI-personalized emails per month, Growth 5,000, Scale 20,000 and Enterprise 80,000
Test which template works for you
Growth and higher plans run A/B tests on subject lines, first lines and bodies, with the winner chosen by reply rate measured on your own sending. Starter tests subject lines. See cold email a/b testing.
Send templates safely
Every address is verified before it enters a sequence, and emails go out from your own mailboxes with ramp-up, rotation and daily caps. Read more about email deliverability.
