Eaten by Alligator

Here is a real email, with above subject line,  from a salesperson who is trying to connect after several failed attempts…

Hello there!

I wanted to reach out and let you know a few things have changed since you last contacted us.

We now offer all of our products with Zero out of pocket cost.  We have lowered rates in almost every utility district while your utility has raised rates.  We have a new Ambassador program that allows you to earn $250 per referral that sign up and another $100 for anyone they in turn refer and you don’t even need to be an active customer.

I haven’t heard from you in a while so I am assuming that either you’ve been very busy with many things, OR you might have been eaten by alligators!

Please just give me a 1, 2, 3, so I know what to do at this point.

1. Yes I was eaten by alligators, please send flowers.
2. I was NOT eaten by alligators.  I am no longer interested in going solar.
3. We’re interested in saving money going solar, let’s set a time to talk!

A bit of humor…  I hope to hear back sometime soon as we are getting into some of the best producing months of the year.

Now, I still may not call, but the headline did get me to open the email.
