How to Use ToneClone for Cold Email: 5 Steps
1. Train Your ToneClone Voice
Upload examples of your best emails, blog posts, or LinkedIn messages. The more samples you provide, the better ToneClone learns your style - whether it's casual and witty or professional and direct. This becomes your baseline voice for all cold emails.
Tip: Include 5-10 diverse writing samples to capture your range.
2. Gather Prospect Intelligence
Collect key details about your target: name, company, industry, pain points, recent news, funding rounds, or mutual connections. The richer the context, the more naturally personalized the output.
3. Build Your Email Template
Create a flexible cold email template with placeholders for personalized elements. Keep it simple:
Hi [FirstName],
I noticed [Company] recently [trigger event]. We helped [similar company] solve [pain point] with [solution] and thought it might be relevant for you.
Would love to chat if you're open to exploring this.
Best,
[YourName]
Tip: Save this template in a knowledge card or custom prompt for easy reference when generating personalized emails.
4. Generate Personalized Emails
Feed your template and prospect data into ToneClone. It rewrites each email to match your voice while weaving in personalized details naturally. You can generate multiple variations to A/B test subject lines, intros, or calls-to-action.
5. Track Performance and Iterate
Monitor open rates, reply rates, and conversions in your email tool. Use those insights to refine your ToneClone prompts - adjust tone, length, or level of personalization based on what's working.
Before and After: See the Difference
Generic Template:
Hi Sarah, I wanted to reach out about our sales automation platform. We help B2B companies close more deals. Would you be interested in a demo?
ToneClone Personalized:
Hi Sarah, I saw Acme Corp just expanded into the European market - congrats on the growth. We recently helped a similar logistics company scale their sales ops across 6 new regions without adding headcount. I'd love to share what worked for them if you're navigating similar challenges.
Notice the difference? The second version references specific context, addresses likely pain points, and sounds conversational - not salesy.
Common Questions About AI Cold Emails
"Won't this still feel automated?"
Not if you do it right. ToneClone doesn't stuff keywords or force personalization. It understands context and adapts naturally. The key is feeding it good prospect intel and maintaining your authentic voice.
"How is this different from mail merge or other tools?"
Mail merge just swaps variables. ToneClone actually rewrites your message to fit each prospect's context while maintaining your style. It's the difference between "Hi [FirstName]" and crafting a genuinely relevant opening line.
"How much personalization is too much?"
Great question. Don't force it. One or two specific, relevant details per email is plenty. ToneClone helps you nail this balance - enough to feel personal without coming across as creepy or overly researched.
Why Personalized Cold Emails Win
