Are You Still Looking for Help With [Pain Point]?
Type: Consulting, Follow-up
Tone: Friendly, proactive, customer-focused
This subject line is effective for follow-up scenarios, especially after a lead download, call, or webinar. It demonstrates an awareness of the client’s needs without being intrusive.
Use this when you’ve already engaged but didn’t get a reply.
Make sure your “[Pain Point]” speaks to their language. For example, if you help with churn, try: “Are you still looking for help with user retention?” That’s more direct than “engagement metrics.”

This is ideal for consulting firms or independent consultants with a track record in a niche. The key is to keep the claim believable and back it up in the body with a short client story or testimonial quote.

Thinking through next steps on your [project name]
You invite the reader into a planning mindset. The phrase “thinking through” frames the email as joint problem-solving rather than a status demand.
It works wonders with clients who value insight. Insert the exact project name in brackets for instant relevance. This kind of subject line performs best when sent after delivering a milestone, like a design mock-up or draft report. Because the recipient expects follow-up guidance.
Keep the body focused: outline two or three clear choices, then ask which path feels right. That balance of autonomy and direction boosts response rates.
