TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:
- [00:27] Today’s Topic: 3 Tips For Better Subject Lines
- [00:35] Salesloft has people sending millions of emails out.
- [01:33] Research shows that subject lines with just one word out-perform the average email by 87%.
- [01:50] This casual subject line mimics more casual emails you might receive from friends.
- [03:15] “Hey, Jane” performs better than just “Jane”.
- [04:00] The more “human” the subject line, the better.
- [04:15] Emails need to be under a certain word count to be successful.
- [04:30] Avoid bullet points, as emails with bullet points get lower reply rates.
- [05:45] Eric isn’t sure if you should omit opt-out links, because you will get spam complaints.
- [06:20] The more your list engages, the better your open rates, deliverability, etc.
- [06:35] That’s it for today!
- [06:40] We are almost at capacity for our live event, so register while you still can: Check out Single Grain for more info.
