🛑 STOP! You Might Be Triggering the “Sales Alarm”
Most cold emails fail before the open.
Because their subject line screams:
“I’m about to sell you something.”
And the brain deletes those instantly.
Think about the usual ones:
• “Quick question about your business”
• “Interested in growing your revenue?”
You already know it’s a pitch.
So you never even open it.
What actually works?
Subject lines that feel normal.
Like they could come from a colleague, partner, or someone you already know.
Examples:
• “Thoughts on this?”
• “Saw your post about this”
• “Chicago next week”
• “Is this your competitor?”
Nothing salesy.
Just curiosity + relevance.
And one thing most people miss 👇
Your first line matters just as much as the subject line.
Those two lines together are the entire preview.
If they feel generic → ignored
If they feel human → opened
The goal is simple:
Make your email feel like a conversation
Not a campaign
If it could pass as a message from someone they already know…
You’ve already won half the battle.
Comment “Copy” and I’ll share the prompt I use to generate subject lines that actually get opened.
