Has this ever happened to you?

You prepare a sales email for your list. You’re really excited about it, because you’re promoting
a great product or service. Maybe you even start crunching numbers – figuring out your open
rate, estimating your click-through rate, taking a best guess on your overall conversion rate.
And then you get even more excited, because you just know you’re going to make a lot of
money with this email.

So you click the “send” button and broadcast your email to your list. Then you wait. And wait.
And wait some more.

At which point you realize your mailing was a big flop – poor open rates, embarrassing click
through rates. It wasn’t even worth the time you spent composing that email.

Listen, if you’ve ever been disappointed by a mailing’s response – or if you’re the type of
person who has trouble creating sales or promo emails – then you’ll be glad you’ve got these
templates. Because you’re about to get 9 “plug and play” templates for creating your own
high-response emails! Just pick a template, insert relevant information where noted and you’re
good to go. Hardly any work or thinking required!

Ready? Then let’s get started…

Hi [First Name],

You’ve heard everyone and their brother talking about [Product Name]. They’re saying it’s the

But you’re sitting on the fence because you have a few questions. Here are some answers…

What does [Product Name] do?

Simply put, this product [describe exactly what it does for the customer].

Will this work for you?

It almost sounds too good to be true, right? You’ve hears so many people talking about their
good results that you can’t help but be skeptical.

The claims are true. And here’s your proof [insert your most compelling proof, such as a case
study, a “before” and “after” picture or video, a persuasive set of testimonials, etc].

Based on all that, I’m 99% certain this will work for you too.

But you know what? There is absolutely no risk to giving it a try. That’s because [Product Name]
is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. If it doesn’t work, you get a refund with no

See the guarantee for yourself at [sales page link]. That’s pretty iron-clad, so buy with
confidence.

[Insert any objections that are specific to the product, and then answer those objections. For
example, are some worried about a book being too short? That might be an objection, but you
can turn it into a positive by talking about how the book is for busy people, or how it contains
all meat and no filler. So look for ways to turn perceived liabilities into assets.]
