Rudi Vanhaecke Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Here are some that I’ve read recently or heard at workshops: * “Retire with dignity and with a full-time paycheck.” * “The special tablet supermodels use to keep thin!” * “The secret paycheck your neighbor isn’t talking about.” * “How a 21-year-old college student earns over $5,000 a month by helping people fill out a change of service form.” We only get one chance to make a good first impression. Our opening sentence is everything. The truth is: Our prospect has already started making the final decision within seconds of us starting our presentation. We need to learn how to manage this.

John Bell Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I agree 100% and You see it a lot now on social media with forced attempts to go viral... I've seen a lot of trends like using phrases like 'secret trick' 'this strange method to..' 'you won't believe what happens...'

Guest juliekay Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 One simple thing I do is just go through my own email and see what catches my eye! What works for me will probably work for others too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gktt2002 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I agree with you Juliekay. I tend to do the same. I also try to come up with something that makes them wonder what the mail is all about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 This is a great topic. I really like looking at what catches my eye. Quote Sandy Mangis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Iannucci Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 The goal of the first sentence is to get them to read the 2nd sentence, then the 3rd, etc. As has already been mentioned... looking at what other people doing and seeing what catches your eye is a great way to start. Curiosity is also a very good motivator. Quote http://www.mistersafelist.com/images/banners/468-60.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Nulty Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 One simple thing I do is just go through my own email and see what catches my eye! What works for me will probably work for others too! I do the same sometimes Julie, but you can't beat being original so I usually take some ideas like that and then come up with my own. The goal of the first sentence is to get them to read the 2nd sentence, then the 3rd, etc. As has already been mentioned... looking at what other people doing and seeing what catches your eye is a great way to start. Curiosity is also a very good motivator. I agree Jerry it took me a while to learn that, Don't give everything away - always leave your message in such a way that they need to find out more. I agree 100% and You see it a lot now on social media with forced attempts to go viral... I've seen a lot of trends like using phrases like 'secret trick' 'this strange method to..' 'you won't believe what happens...' You can learn a lot by reading just the headlines of the most commonly shared media on social sites Yes John and you can also guage in a way by looking at responses wether or not they are effective Here are some that I’ve read recently or heard at workshops: * “Retire with dignity and with a full-time paycheck.” * “The special tablet supermodels use to keep thin!” * “The secret paycheck your neighbor isn’t talking about.” * “How a 21-year-old college student earns over $5,000 a month by helping people fill out a change of service form.” We only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Some good ones there Rudi, I think it really depends on your market too, who you are pitching to and what you are promoting, There are so many variables and different target markets out there. So of course it makes sense to keep your opening sentence niche specific unless you are targeting a general audiance with a general message and then if your message is of value the opening sentence should have wording which is specific to the message. just makes sense.
