696: How to Write Emails That Actually Get Opened (And Make Money) - Coaching Q&A Ep. 4

from I Love Mortgage Brokering · host I Love Mortgage Brokering

Are your emails getting ignored because they feel like marketing instead of a real message? Email is one of the most underused and highest-leverage tools in a mortgage business. Social media is unpredictable. Algorithms change. Reach disappears. But email? It’s owned. It’s direct. And when done properly, it consistently creates conversations, referrals, and deals. In this episode, I break down how to write emails that people actually open, read, and respond to without sounding corporate or spammy. What We Cover: Don’t Make It Look Like a Newsletter – Why heavy graphics and formal formatting kill engagement instantly. Write One-to-One, Not One-to-Many – How writing to a single person changes tone and response rates. Subject Lines That Earn the Click – Why subject lines matter more than the body and how to improve them using AI. Fix the Wall-of-Text Problem – How short sentences and spacing make emails easier (and more likely) to read. Format for Skimmers – Why guiding attention with clean structure keeps busy readers engaged. You don’t own your social audience. You do own your email list. Build it. Use it. And write like you’re sending a message, not broadcasting a newsletter.
