Write a Letter That Gets Opened

You have 432 characters to earn an open, a read, and a reply. Here is how to spend them.

Episode video coming soon – the written guide below has everything you need in the meantime.

What you’ll learn

  • The 432-character canvas and why it is short on purpose
  • The greeting: personal names vs Hi neighbor
  • What handwritten letters do that sales flyers cannot

Step 1 – Start warm

Open like a person, not a promotion. Hi neighbor is the classic farming opener – and when we have verified the owner’s name, your letter can greet them personally instead.

Step 2 – Say one thing

Step 3 – Make the ask soft

If you ever wonder what your home is worth, I am one phone call away invites. Call me now for a free consultation repels.

Step 4 – Sign like a person

Warm regards, your name, your number. That is it.

Step 5 – Read it out loud

If it sounds like a letter and not a script, it is ready. Our sample letter is a proven starting point you can paste straight in.
