Mike Renahan says, “Emailing a prospect for the first time can be a little scary.

Getting off on the right foot and providing value are both critical for success … but these things are easier said than done.

So what should you be writing to pique a prospect’s interest? You’re no doubt careful to avoid phrases that kill an introductory email, but which ones spark a conversation?

Below are 20 phrases to include in your introductory email that create a connection with your prospect.

1) “After researching your business … ”

Alerting the prospect that you’ve spent time researching their business sparks their interest and improves your credibility right off the bat.

2) “Hi [name],”

My colleague recently received an email that started with, “Dear [[contact first name]].” Needless to say, she didn’t respond.
