Maybe take out Hey how are you from the end lol....

[DrMcCallen]

Perhaps it would make the most sense to make a strong first impression and a strong last impression.

*Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires*

When somebody sends a long text respond to the last part of the text first and work backwards. Shows you read the whole text before responding.

[alexforce]

When people say "first impression" they talk about the whole first interaction. The whole meeting/date/email. Not just the beginning. But its a good advice tho. It makes the sender seems more "to the point" without losing his human side.

[BOYSWILLBEBOYS]

He has a point, but you need to account for spam/phishing and quantity of emails the recipient receives. “Hey, how are you?” Maybe the tagline that encourages them to open your email.

so I’ve got to say hi how are you at the end. Got it.

"Hi, my name is chris!" Wont work at the back tho??? 😂

[brythecookingguy]

Note to self: 0:05: ''...but you can't get away with a mediocre last impression.''
0:18 to end: ''...the last impression is the lasting impression...''

Even though can seem great, it fees forced emotions. Can be a cheap shot.

[oldmanTav]

The last impression I know someone sharted .😅😅😅😅

[hiyelow]

...By the way You saved this much ( with us) compared to ( them)

[tren]

No one reads the end of an email as careful as the beginning. This is bad advice.

[Stephenwc]

Well you have to get the readers' attention, no?

But there's a saying, people are impatient

[Goosebump_clips]

Idgaf about reputation or first impressions. This is so manipulative….just be yourself, f*** people if they don’t like you. Move on.
