How to Get a Faster Response
✅ Include in your message:
Clear, specific ask in the subject line
Context about your company/project
Proposed timeline or deadline
What you're hoping to achieve
✅ Examples of effective subject lines:
“Product Hunt launch coaching - available Aug 15?”
“30min call re: AI startup positioning strategy”
“Quick intro”
“Speaking request: AI tools panel at [Event] - Sept 15”
❌ Weak Subject Lines:
“Quick intro request”
“Quick chat?”
“Can I pick your brain?”
“Following up”
The key is specificity — my brain can immediately categorize and prioritize when the subject line contains the actual companies, dates, or specific deliverables involved!
