[Cold Email] Financial Direct Response Companies... Need Some Advice.

I have been building a huge list of Direct Response Companies in the Financial Niche for about a month.

The list is now down to the companies I would really love to work for in my Financial Copywriting Career.

Context: So I have been working as a Freelancer with multiple clients in many industries for +2 years... However, I have realized that I enjoy Financial Copy more than anything else - because I have been a Forex Trader for about 4 years and that is my passion - Anyways, I would love to work with Financial Publishing firms on their Promos...

It just seems like the right thing to do.

So, I am now considering Cold Emailing my list...

>> Yes I know, I will email each prospect personally and not Email Blast the list. This will only serve as my guideline/template for each email.

I have a list of about +100 prospects & my objective is to close at least 1 prospect on a project in the short term & ideally a Retainer in the long term... I can be patient in this regard.

So, I have drafted a short email and I would appreciate any feedback, Critique, suggestions, etc. to improve my chances of landing at least one client;

Here is the email draft:

---

Subject Line #1: New Big Ideas As The New Normal…

Subject Line #2: (No Subject)

Subject Line #3: Re: Direct Response Copywriter

Subject Line #4: Hey <Name> , Found You Through <Mutual Connection>

Subject Line #5: Never Enough Direct Response Copywriters

Subject Line #6: Hey <Name> - Congrats On The <News Item>.

Hey <Name>

I would love to help your Copywriters (OR Creative Team) with any of their current copy needs.

>>> This can range between a Short Form Ad to an Entire Front/Back - end Offer.

I'm looking for a longer-term relationship with <company>.

So, I'm not afraid of going on a date before we get married. ;)

>>> I have never worked on a promo before...

However, my unorthodox knowledge of the Austrian School of Thought will help develop Different Angles and Big Ideas for any promo that I contribute to.

Reply back with your thoughts on my proposal and we can hop on a call to discuss your copy needs… And whether I’m a good fit or not.

Cheers!
