Written by people who send these emails every week
The playbook is written by the HempLeads team. HempAware has worked in hemp since 2005 and has run HempAware Radio since June 2013. Our fulfillment partner has sent cold email at scale for years. The templates are the ones we use, with client details removed.
Who should read it
Any hemp or cannabis company that sells to other businesses and wants to run outreach, whether you do it yourself or hire us. It is useful for:
Wholesalers and brokers reaching brands and processors
CBD and cannabinoid brands reaching retail buyers and distributors
Extractors, processors, and labs reaching farms and brands
Packaging, software, services, and cultivation suppliers reaching operators
Dispensaries reaching brands and suppliers
If you sell to consumers only, the playbook will not help you. Cold email to consumers is a different thing and often a legal problem.
A page from the playbook
This is the reverse lead magnet section. It is the single change that moves reply rates most.
"Send something the buyer wants before you ask for anything. For a hemp wholesaler that is a spec sheet with lot size, cannabinoid profile, and a current COA. For a CBD brand it is a line sheet with wholesale pricing. For a packaging supplier it is a sample kit offer. The buyer gets value on email one, whether or not they reply. That is why they reply."
Playbook questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No card, no call required. You will get a few follow-up emails from us about outbound for hemp companies. Unsubscribe with one click.
Will this work if I do it myself?
Yes, if you follow the warm-up schedule and build the list by hand. Most people who try it skip those two steps. The playbook explains why you should not.
