How to use this email?
Using the subject line "You’re probably too busy for this (but…)" is a humble approach that acknowledges the recipient's busy schedule while still inviting them to engage. It's effective when you want to show consideration for the recipient's time and make them curious about what follows. This approach is casual and works well when you want to initiate a conversation without appearing too pushy. For example, if you're reaching out to a busy professional with a proposal or idea, this subject line can help frame the email as a gentle inquiry rather than a sales pitch. It's particularly effective for roles like SaaS Founders or Marketers who need to maintain a friendly tone.
Why It Works
Playful tone stands out from serious emails, creates curiosity, feels relatable.
When to Use
When reaching out to busy founders where humor or a human touch helps break through.
Variations To Try
"You're probably slammed, but…", "You're probably drowning in emails, but this might be worth it”
