Great openers weave three signals: (1) something recent about the prospect, (2) something specific about their company, (3) an oblique reason it matters to you. AI enrichment surfaces all three in seconds.
Template — the Recent-Post opener
"Saw your post on {topic} — the point about {specific line} matched what we hear from {peer_company}. We built {product} exactly for that. Worth 15 min next week?"
What kills reply rates
Generic openers, obvious mail-merge, fake compliments, and mentioning funding rounds older than 90 days. The copilot flags all four before send.
