Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Space emails 2-3 days apart to avoid overwhelming prospects while maintaining momentum
  • Use specific numbers and metrics in subject lines to increase open rates
  • Include one valuable tip or insight in each email, even if they don't buy
  • Test different CTAs - sometimes 'Reply with questions' works better than 'Book a demo'
  • Create email variants for different prospect behaviors (opened but didn't click, etc.)
