019: The 3-Sentence Email Hack :: Stop Getting Ghosted


Listen Later

What if I told you the reason you’re getting ghosted isn’t your pricing—it’s your paragraphs?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the psychology behind why your beautifully written, overly detailed reply is overwhelming potential clients and shutting down the sale before it ever starts.

This week, I made a rookie mistake that led to my first ghosting in years. And the second I opened the email I had sent… it was obvious. I skipped the psychology, flooded the inbox, and forgot to build the most important thing: connection.

Inside, I’ll walk you through:

  • The psychology of the mental transaction (and how to trigger micro-conversions with one small ask)
  • How to write short, strategic emails that feel personal—not pushy
  • Why sending your pricing too early kills the conversation
  • Discovery calls vs email conversions—and what I’m currently testing in my own business
  • How to normalize a high-ticket offer before you even mention the price
  • You’ll also hear the exact 3-sentence email I now use to spark replies, establish authority, and create emotional engagement—without sounding salesy or desperate.

    Hit play and learn how to make them write back—without begging, discounting, or following up five times.
