Email Performance

Every version of the cold emails, side by side, from first contact to signed account. Each gym gets a version at random, so every version reaches the same kind of gyms on the same days. Counted live from GHL every day.

Subject: quick question about {gymName}
Hey there, Bit of a random email, but I own a gym in Nova Scotia and have been reaching out to other gym owners to learn how they're doing things. We're building a platform around member connection and community, and I'm trying to understand how other gyms currently handle that. Do your members have anywhere they actually connect with each other outside of class?

Subject: Quick question from fellow gym owner!
Hey {firstName}, Bit of a random email, but I own a gym in Nova Scotia and I've been reaching out to other gym owners to learn how they're handling something we've been working on for a while. Outside of class, do your members have anywhere they actually connect with each other? Facebook group, WhatsApp, group chats, anything like that? Curious what you guys are doing.

Subject: Quick question from fellow gym owner!
Hey there, Bit of a random email, but I've owned a gym in Nova Scotia for 13 years now and I've been chatting with other gym owners about how they're building community outside the gym. Do your members have anywhere they actually connect outside of class? Facebook groups, WhatsApp, group chats, or is it mostly just when they're at the gym?

By period
Oct 12 to Oct 16, compared with the same days last week (Oct 5 to Oct 9). First emails are counted on the day each gym was sent the email; replies are those gyms' replies so far.
47 gyms were sent first emails in this period (110 in the same days last week, 57% fewer). 1 of them replied so far (2.1%), against 2 of 110 (1.8%) before. Some of these gyms are still getting their follow-ups, so more replies can still come in.

Replies to each email
Each email counted on its own. “Got it” is how many gyms that email reached; “replied” is how many answered that same email. A gym that replied to the first email never gets the follow-ups, so it is counted only once, under the first email. Bars share one scale, set by the highest reply rate on this chart.
