Template A — Cold (missed call angle)
quick question about [Business Name]
Hi [First Name / there],
When you're busy with a customer, calls go unanswered — and most people who can't get through just ring the next business instead. Those are bookings lost every week without you ever knowing.
I set up a simple system for local businesses: a missed call gets an instant text back ("Sorry we missed you — want to book in?"), customers can book online 24/7, and happy ones get automatically asked for a Google review. Nothing to learn — it just runs.
Worth a quick 10-minute call to see how it'd work for [Business Name]?

Template B — Follow-up 1 (Day 3)
Re: quick question about [Business Name]
Hi [First Name],
Just following up — did you get my last message?
I know it's a busy time. The short version: I help local businesses like yours stop losing bookings to missed calls. Takes about a week to set up, then it runs on its own.
If you've got 10 minutes this week, I can show you exactly what it'd look like for [Business Name]: [Calendly Link]

Templates D–E — Variations (test against A)
the booking you almost had
Hi [First Name],
Imagine a customer calls, can't get through, and books with a competitor down the road. Happens every day for most local businesses.
I build an automated system that texts back missed callers immediately, so even if you're in the middle of a job, you're still responding. Most of my clients recover 2–5 extra bookings a week from it.

[Business Name] — 3-minute setup question
Hi there,
Quick question: when a potential customer calls [Business Name] and you miss it — do they get a text back, or does the call just go unanswered?
If it's the latter, I can fix that this week. Takes me a few days to set up, then it runs automatically forever.
Happy to show you the exact system on a quick call: [Calendly Link]

Niche 2 — WordPress Websites
Best for: coaches, consultants, creatives, local businesses without a website
Template A — Cold (invisible online angle)
found [Business Name] — couldn't find your website
Hi [First Name],
I came across [Business Name] and was looking for your website to find out more — but I couldn't find one.
Without a website, you're invisible to anyone who searches for what you do on Google. Every week, potential customers search "[service] in [city]" and find your competitors instead.
I build clean, fast websites for local businesses — mobile-friendly, shows up on Google, with a contact form that notifies you when someone gets in touch. Delivered in 7–10 days.

Template D — Variation (SEO angle)
customers can't find [Business Name] on Google
Hi [First Name],
I searched for "[service] in [city]" and your business didn't come up. Your competitors did.
Most local business owners don't realise how many customers they're missing from Google search alone. A simple, well-built website fixes this — and it doesn't need to be complicated or expensive.
I build them in about a week. Want to see what I'd build for [Business Name]? [Calendly Link]

Niche 3 — WhatsApp Automation
Best for: restaurants, cafes, pubs, takeaways, retail shops
Template A — Cold
quick question about your WhatsApp
Hi [First Name],
Most restaurants and cafes I talk to are getting flooded with WhatsApp messages — table bookings, order questions, collection times — and managing them manually during a busy service is a nightmare.
I set up an automation so every incoming message gets an instant reply with the right information — a menu link, a booking form, or a "we'll call you back" message. No more missed messages, no one glued to the phone.

Re: [Business Name] WhatsApp
Hi [First Name],
Following up on my last message — do you currently have anything set up to auto-respond to WhatsApp messages, or is it all done manually?

Niche 4 — HubSpot CRM
Best for: B2B companies, SaaS, consultancies, agencies
Template A — Cold
leads going cold at [Company Name]?
Hi [First Name],
Most B2B businesses have the same problem: leads come in, get one email, then go cold — because nobody follows up consistently.
I configure HubSpot pipelines and automated email sequences so every lead gets the right message at the right stage, automatically. No manual chasing, nothing slipping through the cracks.
First month usually recovers the setup cost from deals that would have gone cold.

Niche 5 — Make / Zapier Automation
Best for: ops-heavy businesses, agencies, SaaS, ecommerce
Template A — Cold (manual task angle)
the task you're doing manually that you shouldn't be
Hi [First Name],
If you're doing any repetitive task more than once a week — moving data between tools, sending manual emails, updating spreadsheets — you're paying someone (or yourself) to do what software should do for free.
I build automation workflows on Make.com, Zapier, and Pabbly that connect your existing tools and cut the manual work entirely. One build, runs forever. Most clients save 10+ hours a week.
Tell me the one task you hate doing most and I'll show you how to automate it in 15 minutes — no pitch. [Calendly Link]

Re: the automation question
Hi [First Name],
Following up on my last message. To make it concrete: what's the most manual, repetitive thing your team does right now?
I ask because 9/10 times I can show you exactly how to automate it in a 15-minute call. [Calendly Link]

Niche 6 — Figma Design
Best for: startups, product companies, agencies, funded teams
Template A — Cold
design feedback on [Company Name]
Hi [First Name],
I looked at [Company Name]'s site/app and had a few thoughts on the design — nothing critical, but a few tweaks that would sharpen the first impression significantly.
I do Figma UI/UX design for startups and agencies — web app interfaces, landing pages, design systems. Fast turnaround, clean output, engineers love working from my specs.
Happy to share 3 recent examples if that would be useful. [Calendly Link]
