Deep dives

Short and Impactful Messaging

Effective email communication must be concise, as recipients typically spend only about 10 seconds reading a single message. This limited attention span translates to around 40 words for the average recipient, while many cold emails contain 125 to 150 words. As a result, the majority of content is often overlooked, making it crucial to focus on clear, impactful messaging that aligns with this short reading window. By understanding and adapting to this behavior, sellers can improve their email strategies to capture attention quickly.
