The majority of salesy cold mail goes straight to trash. But as a business owner, what would make you respond?

We have an affiliate program and so occasionally I reply with a link to our affiliate program to sign up for (if you really can get us leads or business for free, sign up for our affiliate program and have at it!)

But the best was when I was invited to a private dinner at Wrigley Field. I basically replied "sure tell me more" and even week of, I was considering bailing - but I'm so glad I didn't. We had drinks and ate dinner ON Wrigley Field.

Never became a client of theirs, though.
