Hi {{user.first_name | capitalize | default: "there"}},
[Pain point referenced in subject line] is no fun. [Describe a few problems the pain point causes. E.g., keeps them at the office late in the evening, forces them to delete important files or scatter them across multiple locations, wastes precious hours each week preparing for meetings and then having to reschedule.]
With [paid feature], youâll [get huge benefit. E.g., have the freedom to take Friday afternoons off, rest easy knowing their files are all in one place, increase productivity by 18%].
Since [paid feature] is part of our [paid plan name] plan, youâll just want to upgrade to [paid plan name] and youâll be good to go!
Sounds great. Take me to my Billing page now, so I can start [getting benefit] [link].

Subject: [Intriguing phrase referencing the biggest alternative solution / competitor your customers often switch to your product from.] E.gâŚ
- Yes, you *could* send your proposals as Word doc attachmentsâŚ
- Why people choose MailChimp over Userlist
- If youâd rather play the follow-up gameâŚ
Hey {{user.first_name | capitalize | default: "there"}},
Sometimes, itâs great to use [alternative solution / competitor, e.g. Microsoft Word] to [do what your product does. E.g., send proposals].
[2-3 sentences describing this scenario. Point out the flaws, in a lighthearted way. Avoid being overly critical or coming across as downright rude. E.gâŚ
- If youâre cool with your client having full editing privileges inside your proposalâŚ
- If itâs no big deal that they can forward your proposal wherever they want, to whomever they want, without you having a clue whose eyeballs are on itâŚ
- If you donât mind forcing your client to print out your proposal, hunt down a pen to sign it, scan it back onto their computer, and email the whole thing over to youâŚ
- If youâre happy spending days or weeks sitting around, waiting to find out whether that dealâs gonna close (while your proposal may just be stuck in someoneâs spam folder, collecting dust)⌠ ]
Definitely pick [alternative solution / competitor, e.g. Microsoft Word].
Using [Product] will be a little different.
[2-3 sentences describing the benefits of using your product. E.gâŚ
With [Product], youâll know exactly when your proposalâs been viewed, and by whom. Not getting any views at all? Then youâll know itâs a good time to follow up and see whether you got stuck in spam.
With [Product], your client will be able to accept, sign, and return your proposal back to you, all in one quick step. No downloading, printing, scanning, or return-emailing required.
And that means with [Product], your time spent waiting, hoping, and crossing your fingers for the deal to close gets cut from days or weeks, to mere hours â sometimes even minutes.
[1 sentence summarizing and emphasizing the larger benefit. E.g., Take your proposals as seriously as you want your clients to take you.]
