Reply rates are dismal.","The templates below are field-tested across single rooftops and 40-store groups. They follow three rules. Subject lines are short and specific. The first sentence does the selling. Every email ends with a question that is easy to answer on a phone in ten seconds.","Use them as starting points.

5Two quick questions so I do not waste your time:
6
71. Are you looking to drive it this week, or still narrowing the list?
82. Any trade we should value while you are here?

10I am at {PHONE} if a call is easier. I will hold it for you until end of day.

17I priced out two paths for you:
18- Buy at {OUT_THE_DOOR_PRICE} out the door
19- Lease at {LEASE_PAYMENT}/mo with {DOWN} down

21Which one do you want to dig into first?

31I do not want to keep nudging if it is not the right vehicle. Three options, just tell me which:

34B) Bought elsewhere, take me off the list

48
49Quick note. Based on current auction data, your {YEAR} {MAKE} {MODEL} is worth approximately {TRADE_VALUE} right now. You owe roughly {PAYOFF}, which puts you about {EQUITY} in the positive.

51Two scenarios I can run for you:
52

531. Trade into a newer {MODEL} at the same or lower monthly payment
542. Cash out the equity and roll into a {ALTERNATE_MODEL}
