The year’s end means the beginning of a new one with new possibilities in the year 2020. Especially if you are a sales professional, then I’m sure you have started planning how to build a better relationship with your prospects. As per one random survey, most of the consumers not only buy a product or service they buy emotions and experience also. The way you make them feel during their buyer’s journey matters to them more. The way you approach and pitch your products and services make a difference. As we already know that a well-crafted email is one of the effective ways to connect with prospects; however, to make that email impressive and increase its open rate depends a lot on its subject line. The subject line of your e-mail should be precise, readable, and should directly meet the recipient’s needs.

So, how to draft that perfect sales email subject line? It all requires a little bit of creativity. To help you, we have compiled a list of best subject lines on various situations that can be used by your sales reps in the year 2020:
