Cold Email Hall of Shame Award: \u00a0The Obnoxious \u00a0Breakup Email<\/h3>\n

Instead of ending the conversation in a \u00a0friendly or professional way, this email comes off as snarky and overly aggressive.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sender ends this email with a two-prong call to action that feels overly aggressive and desperate. \u00a0The reader is either supposed to email them back or get in touch with a funding specialist over the phone. In both cases, the reader gets the sense that the sender obviously wants to close an immediate deal (even though the reader has NEVER talked to this person before or responded to any of the emails this funding company has sent them). \u00a0If the client still hasn’t responded by this email, there is no chance they are going to pick up the phone and buy immediately. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

If you got this email (and all the other emails this spammer sent), you probably feel like you\u2019ve been hit over the head with a hammer repeatedly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why on earth would the recipient of this email respond now if they haven\u2019t before? <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s in it for them?!<\/span><\/p>\n

The sender is way too self-focused and aggressive. <\/span><\/p>\n

It feels like a creepy guy (or girl) in a bar who continues to aggressively hit on you after you\u2019ve already said that \u201cNo Means No!\u201d about 20 times.<\/span><\/p>\n

And yet they keep trying with the same approach… <\/span><\/p>\n

Why this email fails and got on \u201cThe Hall of Shame\u201d:<\/h3>\n
