I agree with @braintank these feel like big marketing email blast subject lines. Some level of personalization is needed if you are going to get clicks (and more importantly, responses)

Hot Sales Reps In Your Area Want to Close With You!
These Reps Are Hungry For Quota!
Lonely? SDRs Want To Meet You Now!

Seriously, don't use cringe-worthy subject lines.

Companies hate this one trick...

But seriously, I have used Ghasty's "company name" subject.

We used to use "Right Direction?" that had a nice A/B Test response rate back then

Try this: YourCompanyName

Easy. Simple. No deceit. 1 Word. Stands out in an inbox. Not the best but works relatively better and easily scalable (can be used in multiple campaigns)

My favorite wonky subject line I saw an SDR using without anyone knowing was "FREE TACOS." This was being sent to strategic contacts for weeks, it was pretty funny in retrospect.

VP Sales & Deal Flow
All my big deals as an enterprise rep were subject line and body as follows. Largest healthcare, CC Data, 2 Insurance, largest private company in US, massive fast casual, and largest HealthTech. Targeting CISOs, CSOs, and Director of Security or IAM. All deals 6-7 figures.

Granted, these weren't mass spam emails. Targeted people. So take that for what it's worth.

Subject:
Lunch on 9/29?

Body:
Hi Name - I'm in town next week, how does lunch sound at (name awesome restaurant here), but I'm also open to your suggestion. In exchange, a concise and confidential conversation around (name xyz problem, competitor, etc.). Let me know if I should make reservations.

Talk soon
