Everyone says: "End with a clear call to action — book a call." Myth. A call is your goal, not their easy yes, and "book a call" is the heaviest ask in the message. Construct the close in layers:
— First ask: answerable in one thumb-tap, lying in bed, half-asleep.
— Make it a real question, not "let me know your thoughts."
— No calendar link in message one. Ever.
— The yes/no opens the door; the call comes after they're inside.
The CTA's job isn't to get the meeting, it's to get a reply cheap enough to give.
