Here's G, and this is your weekly email with actionable tips on how to get replies, book meetings, and grow your business! 🙌

If your emails end with "Yours faithfully and truly”, don't be surprised if your prospects think "another generic sales pitch" and don't respond.
You may have spent hours thinking of the perfect cold email structure, but if the sign-off isn't aligned with your message or your prospects' tone, you won't book any meetings.
A sign-off is the closing line of your email in the form of a word, phrase, or question. You can use it to leave a memorable final impression and push your prospects to take action.
But, salespeople sometimes use fluffy words and phrases that don't catch prospects' attention or appear inappropriate.
So, how to sign off an email and make your prospects hit reply?
Let's look at 5 examples that will boost your reply rates:
#1 Use “Good luck with the [event, conference, webinar, etc.]” to show you researched prospects properly and followed their work.
#2 Use "Hope it brings tons of value to you" when sharing valuable resources to show you want to help rather than sell.
#3 Use “Drop me a line if you've got any questions” to ensure there aren't any doubts or concerns that might lower your reply rate.
#4 Use “I'd love to hear your feedback” to start a conversation and to show that prospects' opinions matter to you.

#5 Use "Cheers" to set a friendly atmosphere, especially when you already know the prospect and their relaxed tone.
P.S. The British and Australians often use it, but some other cultures might find it unprofessional.

If your cold emails are vague, generic, and don’t catch your prospect’s attention, there are low chances of getting any replies.
No replies → No meetings booked → No sales closed → 0 business growth
So, how do you grab prospects’ attention and push them to open and reply to your message?
➡️ Tease their desired outcome
Here's a cold email example with 81% open and a 37% reply rate.
It shows clearly what's in it for the prospect, so let’s see why it worked and how you can replicate it in your next campaigns 👇
_01GR8R86X6B4FE9SCQEN3WPH0Z.png)
#1 Tease desired results with a catchy subject line
→ Mention prospects desired outcomes in the subject line to trigger curiosity and encourage them to find out more.
#2 Set the right tone with a friendly greeting
→ “Hi” with the prospect's name is always a safe option as it's friendly but not too casual, and grabs their attention.
#3 Find common ground with a personalized intro line
→ Show you did your research and mention something you have in common to build trust and relevancy.
#4 Build a relationship with a prospect-centered pitch
→ Prove you're there to help rather than sell by giving free value before they become your customers.
P.S. Use personalized elements, such as images, to show you're willing to go the extra mile.
#5 Boost replies with conversation-starter CTA
→ Instead of asking a vague question or being pushy with booking a meeting, start a conversation with a straightforward question.
#6 Stand out from the crowd with sign-off
→ Use a different sign-off than “Best” or “Cheers” as they might be overused and make your email feel generic.
P.S. Email signatures with many links and graphics can easily distract the prospect from your message and the next step. Keep it simple with only the most necessary information, such as your and your company's name.

Here are 3 ways to avoid spam and improve your email deliverability:

There are words in your emails that can trigger spam filters and land your emails in the spam folder.
The overuse of these “spam trigger words” ruins your deliverability.
Here's a list of the top 12 spam words to avoid in your emails:
#2 Follow proper sending practices
An underrated action that helps you avoid spam is sending emails correctly. Keep a natural pace that matches human behavior while sending emails.
Here are some sending tips to avoid the spam folder:
#3 Add an unsubscribe button
An unsubscribe button allows your subscribers to opt out of receiving your emails. You can remove them from your email list and prevent getting spam complaints.
This is important no matter the type of emails you send: cold emails, newsletters, transactional emails, etc.

If your prospects didn’t answer your first cold email, that doesn’t mean they aren’t interested. Maybe they’ve been busy, missed the email, or need more information before getting back to you.
That’s why it’s important to follow up, which means sending additional emails after not receiving a response to your initial cold email.
Follow-up emails can help you move the conversation forward and find out more about your prospect so you can book more meetings and sign deals.
Here’s an example of a follow-up email with a 43% reply rate. 💪
Let’s see the good elements you can use in your next campaign:
#1 Avoid fake personalization
→ To show you did the prospect's research, mention the example of the common ground (such as an exact LinkedIn post). This will make your email stand out from other generic messages.
#2 Help without asking for anything in return
→ Give value to the prospect even before they become customers. This shows you want to help rather than sell, which makes prospects more likely to reply.
#3 Make the CTA less sales-y
→ Instead of a meeting, aim for a reply. This will help you build a relationship with the prospect, which makes it easier to book a meeting later.
