The
Laws of
Highly Effective
Sales Emails
We analyzed over 300,000 sales emails to uncover the hidden laws behind irresistible sales emails. They’re all here. All 7 of
them. Now you can start writing unignorable emails and book more meetings (and close more revenue).
7
ROI claims and cold outreach don’t mix. That’s because
buyers need to understand the why behind your ROI
claims before they believe them.
The “Interest CTA” (asking for interest) is the highest
performing call to action for cold emails. Instead of
selling the meeting, sell the conversation.
Would achieving [OUTCOME] help your team
deliver on its [INITIATIVE]?

Would you say this aligns with your top 2021
initiatives?

Are you interested in learning how
[COMPETITOR 1] and [COMPETITOR 2] are
achieving [OUTCOME]?

Interested in unpacking how we can help
with [PAIN]?

How is [PAIN] preventing you from
[BUSINESS OBJECTIVE] today?

Does it make sense to explore how we can
achieve [POSITIVE OUTCOME]?
Stat: Using ROI language in cold emails decreases
success rates by 15%. 

Stat: Confirming your prospect is interested before asking
to set a meeting is 2x more effective than regular
outreach.

Once buyers enter your sales cycle, use the “Specific CTA”
(asking for time) to remove friction and book a meeting. 

Your buyer will respond either: 1) Yes, that time works or 2)
No, but this other time does.
It takes longer to get an answer when you ask a group.
That’s because they’ll assume someone else is handling
it. Same for email. Follow up individually with each
meeting participant and highlight topics and next steps
that are relevant to them.
The best indicator of whether your deal will close is email
engagement. That’s the number of emails exchanged
between a sales rep and prospect over a given period of time.
Are you available to discuss on
[DAY/TIME]?

Let’s cover everything you want to know
about [X] on [DAY/TIME]. Does that work on
your end?

How’s your calendar look on [DAY/TIME] to
meet?
1 new thread per participant

Subject line: include their name

Body: copy paste the body of the email and
highlight parts that pertain specifically to
them

Stat: Suggesting a specific date and time delivers 37%
success rate for in-pipeline emails (versus 28% for
other CTAs).
Stat: Email response rates are highest at 2 recipients,
then decline. Once the group is 3 participants or more,
move to single-threaded emails for follow-up.
Stat: Healthy deals see a 753% increase in email exchanges
as they zero in on a signature versus closed-lost deals.
Examples:
Examples:

DO ask for time for in-pipeline
opportunities
DO single-thread email
follow-ups after group calls
DO use email engagement to
forecast your deals

Pronoun-heavy emails – think you, your, and your team –
read as more personal. Even when they’re automated.
These 5 words are part of your everyday vocabulary. But top
performers say them way more often. Use them in calls,
decks, and emails to prime prospects to buy from you.
Users maximize their time You’ll be more
efficient with this workflow.

Our clients You’ll improve competitive win
rates with these insights.
