From 0 replies on email to 85.10% of response rate! Here's how I managed it-

I sent 47 emails in 1.5 months and got 40 replies out of them (a 85.10 % response rate).?

This happened in mid-August to mid-September of 2022, when I started sending in-mails on LinkedIn for job referrals for various companies.

Before you feel sorry for me for failing to convert 7 in-mails!

Let me disappoint you by saying that they weren't very active on the platform.

Back to the story again!

Not only did they respond to my emails, but they also complimented my writing style and referred me wherever there was an opening.

In my case, an email required the following to receive a response:?

1) A solid yet crisp subject

It will create the reader's interest enough for them to open and read the email.

Here's what I used:

• Knock, knock! ?? There's someone from Vaishali!
• Hey neighbour, someone is willing to join you!
• Hello from 22.25 kilometres away!?

2) The email's introduction should grab the reader's interest.

• You shouldn't start it with a basic introduction of yourself, which would bore the reader.
• Provide a solid 2-3 lines that hold the reader's interest and entice them to continue reading.

Wait, here's what worked for me: (You might have a different opinion on it.)

3) Make sure you attach your resume along with a cover letter (or portfolio, or any other relevant document).

• The file name could be anything that looks real and genuine (people use their creativity with this as well).
• If you are attaching a drive link, make sure you provide access for everybody to open it.

4) Write some power-packed lines toward the end and bang on.

You are one step closer to your prospect.

5) End the email with warm regards, and your contact details.

Pro Tip- Write an e-mail to yourself, give it a read after 10 days. Check if it's worth reading, if yes, you have already crossed one step:)
