Cold email remains one of the most effective B2B prospecting channels in 2026, especially for French-speaking markets where LinkedIn penetration is lower among SMEs. The key difference between cold emails that convert and those that get ignored: personalization. Generic blasts get 1-3% response rates. Personalized emails with company-specific icebreakers get 10-20%.
