6 Top 1% Cold Email Subject Lines for Booking More Sales Calls
1. Quick Question
"Quick Question" is a simple yet highly effective subject line.
It's short, to the point, and ignites curiosity.
For instance, if you're a web design company, the CTA section of your email could go something like:
"Quick Question – Do you think your website is generating enough leads?"
2. Personalize with a First Name
"Quick Question for [first_name}”
Adding a personal touch by including the recipient's first name can make your email feel less like a cold outreach and more like a conversation.
Like this:
"Quick Question for John - How's your website's performance?"
This adds a layer of familiarity and increases the chances of your email being opened.
3. Invite Thoughts
"Thoughts, {first_name}?"
This subject line is both personal and intriguing. It almost feels like a challenge to the recipient to respond.
For example:
"Thoughts, Susan? - How to Increase Your Company's Lead Generation"
4. Show Off Success Stories
“{Company} got {Result} using {Product/Solution}”
A great way to show the effectiveness of your service is by sharing success stories.
This gives the recipient a tangible example of how your service can help them. Here's an example:
"ABC Company increased their leads by 30% using our SEO Service"
5. Address a Relevant Problem
{first_name}, are you {relevant_problem}?
Identifying a problem that your recipient may be facing can grab their attention instantly.
If your solution can solve their problem, they're likely to read more.
For instance:
"John, are you struggling with low website traffic?"
6. Promise a Solution
{Promise} in {timeframe}
The final approach is to promise a solution within a specific timeframe.
This creates a sense of urgency and gives the recipient a reason to open your email right now. Like this:
"Increase your lead generation by 20% in 30 days"
