Two First-Impression Considerations

The first 30 seconds of reading are the most important because they create the most impactful and lasting first impression. The first impression should also evoke the desired feeling and inspire an extremely busy prospect to read the letter further (about 90% of cold letters are not read beyond the 1st para).

The First Sentence

The first sentence should communicate the core message in a laconic way and cover as many of 6Ws as possible: Why, What, Where, When, How, Who. The "Why" should be as compelling as possible.

 

 

 

Eye-Opening Image

An eye-opening image should follow the first 6Ws sentence and create the 'Aha!' effect ' within 5 to 10 seconds. Metaphoric images produce the desired 'Aha!' impact faster because they use something well known to help a prospect to understand the essence of something never-seen-before within seconds.
