Dave Gerhardt's 1 line sales email

The goal is simple. Get a reply.

A reply gives you something to work with.

So how does Dave do that?

Keeps it short. Asks a question.

Much better than a hit and hope sales template asking for a “quick call”.

Watcha think?!

    This is great! I noticed that the shorter and more direct the intention of the pitch is the better the response.

    Thoughts about branding? I think it makes or breaks the pitch itself.

    I’ve been testing a 9-word email format with warm
    lead or leads that have gone dormant. It’s been working to ignite conversations. Coupled with a short 2 word subject line I’ve been averaging a 50%+ open rate.

    A bit arrogant to get that email from someone you don't know. But I'm not a CEO so YMMV
