How's your conversion rate for new leads? Are they answering your emails? If not, you may be going about things the wrong way.

While meant to be polite and to break the ice, opening lines like these just demonstrate a lack of connection between you and your lead. Your lead probably received dozens of other emails with the same opening line recently. Some overused openings include:

You want to help your lead buy or sell a home. You want to send them a CMA report or show them available listings. You, you, you. That's not a good way to start a conversation with a new buyer or seller. Don't use these opening lines:
If you are going to talk about yourself, make sure it's something suitably impressive that enforces your desirability as an agent. For example, instead of talking about how many homes you sold last year or how big your company is, focus on why your business or qualifications are beneficial for your clients.
