I can usually get meetings through warm intros, but cold outreach over email has been inconsistent. My emails often get ignored, and I rarely receive replies.
For people who’ve sold products founder-to-founder: what actually changed outcomes for you?

Re: quick scheduling question
Hi [name],
I’ve followed [company] for a while and the scale you’re operating at is impressive. With customer and partner meetings, plus internal meetings, I imagine your calendar gets pretty full.
I’m working on a way for founders to cut down the email back-and-forth of scheduling without hiring or managing an EA.
Is scheduling something you still handle personally at all?

Right now, the title and preview text on mobile probably look like "Quick scheduling question" / "Hi [name], I've followed [company] for...". This looks like a lot of other emails in my inbox that are requesting a meeting time. So I think a lot of people who quickly scan their inbox would pass this by and not even open the full email.
I'd also drop the "re: " part unless it's genuinely a reply. It breaks trust.

There's no re, I just put that there instead of saying Subject:. Sorry, that's confusing.
