3 Emails that convert and Why

Before we get into 3 emails that convert, here are 3 things to consider when writing a cold email:

1. Subject Line and First Line: The purpose of the subject line and the first line of the email is to get your email opened. The subject line should be direct and to the point of your email. The first line of the email should be focused on how you can solve a problem or your observation of the prospect
2. Keeping it short: An email under 100 words is ideal. Furthermore, an email under 100 words with 5 or fewer sentences will make it easy for your prospect to read your email on their mobile. Some stats suggest that over 70% of emails are now read on a mobile. Your prospects are no longer scrolling and hence your email should avoid any scroll
3. CTA: An email without a clearly defined ‘Call to Action’ will not guide your prospect to what you want them to do with the email which is to get a reply and book a meeting or hear No. I’d rather get a no than a maybe
