I have read somewhere that the conversion rate through email is roughly 2-3% which is quite low with some types of emails being even lower (close to 0.5%). What strategies have you guys found works for you to increase this rate?
 
To boost cold email conversion rates, personalize your emails, focus on clear benefits, and keep the messaging concise. Also, experiment with your subject lines and follow-up sequence for better results.
 
Help, don't sell - people will spot a sales pitch from a mile away

Also be a person... Nobody likes a salesman

And get to the point

Design but don't go over the top, try bolding or underlining KPI's - adding links and templates pushes for ending up in spam folder

Depends on your target, if I´m targeting B2B I usually keep it very short and straight to the point and tell them directly what I can offer them and how both parties can benefit from it, but thats just me.

Personally, I hate getting emails that are not straight to the point. Feels deceiving.

You can see people and business owners thinking about how you're trying to trick them, to the point helps everyone out

Yeah the problem

The problem with the B2C side is the consumer knows f*** all, that's why the explaining is needed before getting to the point :D

Edit: the part where scumbags and bad salespeople get themselves caught is thinking they can work around everyone rather than knowing who to try work around

Yes because most cold email campaigns are setup on random scrapped emails.

Clean your lists.
Engage and study their behavior don't sell yet.
Segment the lists based on niches & interests.

Now test your niche/interest targeted offers.
 
Anyone tried to combine with cold calls too? Like call after or before emailing.

If the calling option is available, I prefer to go that route.
I prefer sweet, soft-spoken female callers for this purpose.
You need to train them with necessary info about your product and service for best results.
 
2–3% is actually quite high considering that this is a cold email list.

In other words, these people are not actual leads.

These email contacts are basically just scraped.

Maybe a better approach would be to email and get them to sign up for something completely free.

When you do this, you smoke people out.

You first figure out people who are actually opening their emails and second, you figure out what their interests are.

Since the offer is free, they are more likely to identify themselves.

And once you get them to give their email for that free offer, then your list is now warmer than your previous list.

Now you're on to something.

You can then start sending them information to further filter them.

Maybe send them $1 offers to separate actual buyers from tire kickers.

Remember, even if you have a million people who are interested in your newsletter but they're not willing to habitually open your emails and they are not willing to spend as little as a dollar on your offers, then they have no business being on your list.

They're dead weight.

They don't add value to you.

The key is to turn a massive cold email list of maybe several hundred thousand, into a warm list of maybe a few thousand, and then separate that warm list into $1 or 50 cent offers between actual buyers and people who are willing to take action and tire kickers.

Once you separate them, then you focus on the ones that will actually buy.

Send them high-quality updates.

Interact with them.

Learn from them.

Ask them what they want to see and then you build a solid relationship.

That small list, as humble as it may be, can be your greatest asset because this is a list of people who actually buy.

Of course, you can destroy all of this by sending them spam or unrelated offers.

The problem is that the majority of people refuse to read these days. Use click bait or a stupid picture to get their attention.
