I sent 500 cold emails for my form builder. Here’s what happened.
I built a professional form builder (forms.devtet.com) for freelancers and small agencies.
Then I did my first cold outreach test:
500 emails sent
90 opens
1 click
0 conversions
I expected price (“cheaper than Typeform”) to be the hook, but it completely failed.
What I learned so far:
people don’t care about cheaper tools unless the workflow is clearly better
screenshots > features in cold email
targeting is probably more important than copy
Now I’m rethinking the positioning around “client intake forms for freelancers/coaches” instead of a generic form builder.
Would love feedback from people who’ve done cold outreach or built similar tools — what usually works better for you?
