Through lots of testing from our data team, we’re sharing our findings on the below email templates and how they performed compared to each other. 

One key theme throughout our research is that more detail tends to equal less responses when it comes to email. It’s human nature to act on curiosity - so while the winning template may seem simple, give it a try! The goal is to get your foot in the door and let the prospect ask for more information. These 3 email templates each performed differently, and you’ll see the shortest one was the most successful!

You'll notice the first email has the shortest subject line, and the least amount of detail, leading to the best open and response rate. The second email had a longer subject line and more detail, and the third email had the longest subject line and the most detail, leading to the lowest open and response rate. We also found that messages sent in the morning received better overall response rates. We recommend sticking to the first email template for the best opens and responses, but also try to have fun with it and test out different variations to see what works best for you.

Happy prospecting!
