When to use AI for email scaling

AI-Driven Email Strategies to Level Up Your Outreach 1. Micro-Segmentation for Ultra-Targeted Outreach Use AI to create hyper-specific audience segments based on detailed behaviors. → Tailor campaigns for groups like "early adopters" or "repeat referrers." → Send timely messages based on actions like multiple clicks on a pricing page. 2. Real-Time Audience Mood Detection AI analyzes sentiment, allowing you to adjust tone and timing based on audience mood. → Adjust email tone—enthusiastic for engaged users, reassuring for hesitant ones. → Optimize send times based on emotional data. 3. Proactive Customer Retention Strategies AI predicts churn and triggers personalized win-back emails for at-risk customers. → Set up automated campaigns to re-engage disengaged users. → Create retention paths based on individual user behavior. 4. Enhanced Accessibility for Inclusive Marketing AI ensures email content is accessible, catering to visually impaired readers. → Auto-generate alt text and optimize emails for screen readers. 5. Intent Prediction for Pre-Sales Nurturing AI predicts user intent, delivering nurturing content at the right time. → Tailor content—case studies for researchers, trials for near-conversions. → Map engagement history to predict future content needs. 6. Zero-Party Data Collection through AI-Enhanced Surveys AI-powered surveys help collect valuable zero-party data, improving personalization. → Customize survey prompts based on user behavior. → Ask context-relevant questions to encourage thoughtful responses. 7. Automated Compliance Management AI ensures your campaigns stay compliant with GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and other regulations. → Track consent preferences and manage opt-outs automatically. → Get alerts for potential compliance issues. 8. Real-Time Personalization within Email Content AI enables live content updates within emails, making them more relevant. → Update product recommendations based on user actions. → Use weather or location-based triggers to make emails timely. 9. Hyper-Responsive Customer Feedback Integration AI integrates real-time feedback into your outreach strategy. → Adjust campaigns instantly based on recipient responses. → Retarget users based on their feedback to address needs directly. 10. AI-Driven Journey Builder for Hyper-Personalized Sequences Use AI to craft adaptive email journeys that respond to user actions. → Personalize paths based on prior interactions. → Re-engage users who drop off with targeted follow-ups.

I'm removing the term "personalization" from my vocabulary. People don't want personalization... they want contextual, relevant experiences. Example: John, Dir. Demand Gen at ACME, an enterprise cybersecurity company, downloads an asset from our website on ABM. Personalization looks like us following up with an email "Hi John, as a Director of Demand Generation at ACME you probably face challenges scaling your ABM program...[general value prop]...[CTA to book a meeting]" Contextualization looks like us using CRM data to see that he's also attended a webinar on verticalizing content with AI and downloaded an asset on automating post-webinar workflows. Plus Sally from his company recently requested a demo. The email follow up would look like: "Hi John, hope you found the ABM guide insightful! I know demand gen is responsible for a ton of things beyond ABM like events and webinars and given your horizontal product, creating industry specific content could definitely move the needle (saw you recently added a new healthcare-specific product!). Here's a cool story of how another cyber company scaled and automated a lot of their demand gen motion with AI. Also saw Sally from your team recently requested a demo of Tofu so let us know if I can send any additional info your way." The above email might take a human 30+ mins minimum to look at CRM data, do some research on the person and their account, write a super thoughtful 1:1 email. That won't scale. AI makes automating contextual experiences now possible. Early days but forward-thinking teams are doing this and it's dramatically increasing campaign and funnel performance. Let's all stop doing random acts of personalization (h/t Corrina Owens for this amazing soundbite)

Here’s an efficient way to use AI when sending cold emails: Start by creating a generic cold email script, then ask AI to optimize it for your target industry using their specific terminology and pain points. I tested this with restaurant owners. My original script said "We can generate you 50 leads per month with a restaurant marketing system." I fed this to AI and asked it to make the language more specific to restaurants. It provided me with industry-specific language.. The AI automatically replaced "leads" with "covers," added industry-specific pain points like "third-party delivery fees" and "slow shifts," and used phrases like "walk-ins and repeat customers" that restaurant owners actually say. I then asked AI to explain each term to validate it was real industry language, not made-up jargon. "Covers" means the number of customers served. "Slow shifts" refers to off-peak hours when restaurants struggle with low customer volume. All legitimate restaurant terminology. And this works for any industry. Manufacturing, construction, healthcare, retail. You'll sound like you've worked in their space for years rather than another generic cold emailer.
