    That’s exactly how I use ChatGPT, to rewrite my writing by asking for 3 variations instead of just one.

    The issue with Gmail’s built-in writing assistant is that it only gives a single suggestion, and it’s always a binary yes/no. I usually end up declining it.

    With multiple versions, there's a higher chance one will resonate. Plus, I can mix and match the best parts to suit my tone. So yes, I think offering variations is definitely the right move.

    I’m not a fan of cold emails in general so I would say no this does not provide value. I’m sure others have different opinions as it’s an important part of marketing.

      I get that cold emails aren't ideal for everyone. The A/B testing has been helpful for me in understanding audience preferences, but I'm curious - what alternatives have you found more effective? I'm always open to trying different approaches.

        I think what some sales people don’t understand is that some organizations are large. They reach out to me trying to sell a product or service, but I have minimal to no influence in what business arrangements the firm I work at makes. That’s all determined by the c-suite and divisional presidents.

          Good insight about company size mattering. I think you're right that my approach probably works better for smaller orgs where there's less hierarchy. For larger companies, I imagine the relationship-building aspect becomes much more important. What's been your experience with breaking into those bigger accounts?

            For larger firms (>4000 employees), if I were in a sales role, I’d try to get a sense of the org chart and try to make inroads with individuals in senior leadership positions first.
