Best Subject Line for Cold Outreach?

Coming up with a compelling Subject line is always interesting to me. If you are targeting a C-Suite vs someone "low on the totem pole" these might change, but wanted to get what's worked best for everyone here:


Option A: Asking a Question

Option B: Being humorous/joke

Option C: Highlighting Pain/Problem to solve for

Option D: Name Drop (referral/Mutual Connection)

Option E: No one ready emails anymore, just call or Linkedin

Nice move Stringer. Shows you did your research. Also gets them to open the email since you're talking about their favorite subject - them! 

Bravo.

Whatever the subject is, it can’t be templated. If your using the same subject line to more than 1 person, it’s just spam (Salesloft and outreach “sequences” included)

I have had a lot of luck with questions related to a problem I know they have, OR a super personalized line they'll be drawn to. With that being said, I'm still learning and don't have much experience compared to others on here.
