This blog post was written after a week where I felt that responses to my warm emails (people I know or at least am a ‘contact’) and online messages. The tipsĀ are compiled from multiple sources.
- Use numbers.
- Keep it short.
- Use bullet points
- Use the word “because”
- Speak to value
- Make a clear ask
- Offer to take if offline
- Avoid these phrases:
- āChecking inā
- āTouching baseā
- āFollowing upā
- Use good subject lines:
- āQuestion about your blog post on LinkedInā
- āMeeting information for Monday, 1/8ā
- āNew data: 50% of e-filers get a refund within 3 weeksā
- avoid asking questions
- keep it short
- Use this format:
- Opening greeting
- Reason for emailing
- Details
- Call-to-action
- Closing greeting
