I’ve always struggled with cold outreach as a designer.
Most of my messages sounded like:
“I can improve your UX”
“I help increase conversions”
→ basically ignored every time.
So I tried something different:
Instead of pitching directly, I started writing messages based on real observations from the website.
Example:
Before:
“I can help improve your UX”
After:
“I noticed your homepage has multiple entry points — I wasn’t sure where to go first”
That small shift made a huge difference.
More replies, more conversations.
The problem is… it takes time to do properly.
So I built a small tool to speed this up — it analyzes a site and generates messages based on actual insights.
Still early, but I’m curious:
👉 how do you approach outreach today?
Do you personalize everything or keep it more generic?
Happy to share the tool if anyone wants to try it.
