How to Write Subject Lines That Actually Get Clicked (and Clients)
If your email subject lines are terrible, nobody even opens your emails —
and you wonder why you’re not making any sales from your email marketing.
Let’s fix that.
Because here’s the truth:
It doesn’t matter how good your email is if no one opens it.
🚫 The Problem: Boring Subject Lines
Most advisers make the same mistake.
They send out emails with subject lines like:
- “Free mortgage review”
- “Your mortgage is up for renewal”
- “Book a free appointment”
Sound familiar?
The problem? People have seen these lines a thousand times before.
They scroll right past them.
They hit delete.
They don’t even get past the subject headline — which means all the time you spent writing that email was wasted.
If you sound like everyone else, you’ll get ignored like everyone else.
🧠 The Fix: Spark Curiosity
The goal of your subject line isn’t to sell — it’s to get the click.
All you want to do is spark curiosity, make it feel different, and make people want to open the email.
Here’s how 👇
💡 Example 1: Make It Human
Instead of:
“Free mortgage review”
Try:
“Beth saved £491.22 on her mortgage in 30 minutes — here’s how…”
See the difference?
One is corporate and forgettable.
The other is specific, personal, and relatable.
You’re drawing them in with a story.
People love stories — and real numbers make it believable.
💡 Example 2: Use “How” and “What” Questions
Curiosity questions work brilliantly.
Instead of:
“Mortgage term reduction advice”
Try:
“How Lewis shaved 5 years off his mortgage term after a 5-minute chat with us…”
That’s the type of subject line you can’t help but open.
You’re not selling — you’re teasing.
💡 Example 3: Use Numbers and Odd Specifics
Specific numbers make your email stand out in a sea of vague, bland headlines.
For example:
“3 mistakes that cost homeowners £3,200 a year”
“How 7 of our clients cut their premiums without switching providers”
It feels real. It feels tested. It feels clickable.
🔥 The Psychology Behind It
Here’s why curiosity-based subject lines work so well:
✅ They create a knowledge gap – people want to know the answer.
✅ They sound like real people, not corporate robots.
✅ They feel unique – not copy-and-paste templates.
✅ They hint at value – not vague offers.
When your readers think, “Wait, how did Beth save £491?”, they’re hooked.
And once they open the email, your body content can do its job — build trust and drive action.
💬 Your Job: Just Get the Open
Stop overcomplicating your email strategy.
The first goal isn’t the click, the reply, or the sale.
It’s simply to get the open.
Once you win that, everything else becomes easier.
If they don’t open it, your brilliant service doesn’t matter.
