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!
