Says nothing about the business you’re emailing.

The prospect who does respond had to see through the crap to see that they actually want the product.

BUT HERE’S THE THING.

“You know, I’ve been meaning to address this. I’ll respond.”

THEY MAY SAY:

Will this email get you a 90% connect rate?

Will this email get you a 90% connect rate?

NOPE.

Will this email get you a 90% connect rate?

NOPE.

Will this email get you a 90% close rate?

Will this email get you a 90% connect rate?

NOPE.

Will this email get you a 90% close rate?

MAYBE.

Will this email get you a 90% connect rate?

NOPE.

Will this email get you a 90% close rate?

MAYBE.

(A connect rate reflects how many people overall responded while close rate reflects how overall bought.)

With an awesome email, your connect rate widens the top of your funnel.
