CEJIH EXPLAINS
It seems that some of our highest clicked and engaged content is when we share sales tips. Specifically, the ones that we use on our team at CG Sports. Today I'm going to share a three quick tips that have been working very well in 2021 so far.
Good email subject line for new prospect outreach: We borrowed this one recently from our man in the field, Morgan Ingram. When reaching out to new prospects, Morgan highly recommend using the subject line format: "Prospect First Name < > Prospect Company Name". So if I was trying to get the attention of a decision maker at Amazon, I might use the email subject "Jeff < > Amazon". This simple tip has netted a noticeable increase in email opens and meetings scheduled thus far. Try it and let me know how it works.

Investing 101 by Erin Papworth
Why should I invest in stocks instead of a fund?
Investing in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) comes with built-in benefits--think: someone else doing all the research work (win!). But fund managers charge fees for their efforts.
Another super important benefit of investing in stocks versus funds is that most funds don't see returns even close to those of the best stock performers.
Case in point: Amazon stock has risen 61,600% since 1997.
