A Strategic Look At Email Subject Lines From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
What are the first things you look at before you open your emails? What two items determine whether or not you open the email? You will most likely view the “from” email address first & then look at the “subject “ line next before deciding to open your email.

You only have a few seconds and only a few words to make your “subject” line compelling and urgent enough to get the reader’s attention and then “open and read on.” Your strategic thinking business coach offers the following strategic tips on writing effective “subject” lines for your emails.

The Day Randy (my name is Earl) Dug Our Lane
We live on a small narrow lane wide enough for just 1 car to get through at any one time. The lane is a dead end because after 6 more houses it simply stops at the railway track.

Choice More than Chance Determines Our Circumstance
The day was a winter wonderland as our family drove through the country to a Christmas open house at a friend's home. A fresh snowfall had left the trees, houses, and barns covered with a inch of magical white powder. The day was cold, but in the brilliant sunshine the snow sparkled across the fields and glittered as it wrapped the buildings and trees in it's twinkling blanket. It was like driving through a Currier and Ives painting. At the open house, I babbled on about the wonder and beauty of our 30-minute drive through such an enchanted postcard scene. Another guest who just arrived from a 90-minute drive shut me up when he snarled, "Some winter wonderland! The slush and spray from the highway was constantly smearing our windshield. It drove me nuts. I hate driving in that crap."
