Let’s talk about one of the easiest levers you can set up today – but almost nobody does it well.

Most welcome emails waste the highest-engagement moment your list will ever have.

They deliver a freebie. Maybe they say “thanks for joining.”

And then… crickets. 🦗

The Ice Breaker Reply Method flips that. It turns your welcome email into a conversation-starting machine.

And that conversation? It turns into revenue.

This one comes from Jeff Felten, who is great at optimizing emails and building incredible welcome sequences.

This method is how Jeff consistently gets 10–15% of new subscribers to reply – and how some of his clients have landed 4 and 5-figure consulting deals just from a single, well-framed question.
