Don’t Let Cold Emails Stress You Out
• The key is to remember that the salesperson is just doing their job. They likely have to send out a certain number of cold emails per day or week. It’s not personal.
Be Polite, But Firm
• You don’t have to be rude in your reply. A simple “No thank you, I’m not interested at this time” is perfectly acceptable.
• If you feel the sales pitch was overly pushy, you can say something like “I appreciate you reaching out, but I’m going to pass on this offer.”
Ask To Be Removed
• If you want to avoid future cold outreach from that company, include a line in your reply asking to be removed from their list.
• Something like “Please remove me from your outreach list going forward. Thank you.” This signals that you don’t want to be contacted again.
