# ✍️ Assignment: Create your first cold email template
Before we begin sending out emails, it's now time to apply the learnings from previous lessons and create your own cold email template!
 
## The assignment

:::info
- [x] Write up a cold email template (including the subject line)
:::

## Tips
- You might be thinking - didn't you say each email should be personal? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean you can't write a basic structure and leave placeholders to modify and tailor certain areas to each specific lead. Your introductions will likely vary extensively, but your call to action not so much. 😉
- We recommend following the structure mentioned before:

:::info
1. **Relevant intro** - begin with a short, engaging, relevant intro.
2. **Pain** - deep dive into the person's pain point. Once again, be specific, to the point, and show you've done your research and deeply understand their problem.
3. **Solution** - how are you going to solve that problem? Provide a short intro to your solution and how it solves the problem you mentioned before. If you have previous clients with big names, include them as validation.
4. **Call to action** - There has to be a very clear call to action at the end. In most cases, this will be a meeting for your discovery call.
:::
- Before writing it, remember to answer the following questions:

- Who do you want to reach?
- What kind of message do you want to convey?
- Why should the receiving person care (what is the core value you provide)?
- If I were the person receiving this, would I be interested?

Lastly, **review this checklist** before and AFTER you have written your template and make sure you can check off all points (credit goes to Kyle Coleman that has inspired us for some of it).
