Why So Much B2B Outreach Blends Together
Scroll through a busy inbox and a pattern quickly emerges:
Many cold emails and LinkedIn messages are written differently, yet they feel exactly the same.
This usually isn’t because people are careless. It’s often because they rely on default phrases:
-
“Just touching base”
-
“Following up on my previous email”
-
“Hope you’re doing well”
These expressions are polite, but they don’t provide clarity. They don’t answer the reader’s silent question: Why should I care about this message?
A more thoughtful approach to outreach often starts with structure:
-
Defining who the message is actually for
-
Clarifying what context the recipient might already have
-
Stating relevance directly instead of implying it
Some professionals use prompts, frameworks, or templates to support this thinking process. Not to sound more persuasive, but to avoid falling back on generic language.
At its core, effective communication in B2B settings tends to be less about clever wording and more about clear intent.
