The C-Suite is the busiest pack in the office every day. Phone, in-office, lunch and coffee meetings come one after another, leaving these corporate titans with only 30 minutes at the most on their swivel chair to open and reply only to the most important emails. However, you might just be able to grab their attention by sending them a compelling and response-generating email.

Steal The Reader’s Attention

Choose words that could steal the reader’s attention, whatever he may be busy with at the moment he sees it in his inbox, for your subject line. Use strong actionable words or language like ‘Take’, Power’, Upscale’, ‘Grow’, ‘Run’, ‘Celebrate’. However, make sure that the message of your email must be contained and clearly related in the words you used on the subject line.

Establish Importance In Your Email Copy

Personalize the approach by establishing a relationship between you and the reader by stating the reason why are you writing, which would eventually make them realize the need to read through the whole message and the urge to take action required by your message. Emphasize on the benefits that your reader will get and less of the features. Make your copy short and straight to the point. Remember, the C-Suite can only spend 15 minutes, at the most, in a day to check their inbox. Avoid long, too wordy copies that might bore the reader and evade your email.

Include Call-To-Actions

Make life easier for your reader. Include call-to-actions in your email like links to websites, downloadable forms, and registration or query boxes. Short simple action words like ‘Sign Up’, ‘Download Now’, ‘See More’, ‘Start Today’, ‘Shop Now’ and ‘Order Now’ are just some of the most effective call-to-actions that you can use to get your readers to act quickly. Thus, giving them a convenient and hassle-free way of engaging with your service.
