Cold email template flopped at 2% open rate, here's the fix that worked

Last month I sent out 300 cold emails using a template I found on a popular blog. The open rate was sitting at 2%, and I got zero replies after three days of waiting. I was in my home office on a Thursday night, frustrated, so I dug into the data and saw the subject lines were all too salesy and long. I rewrote them to be under 5 words and personalized each first line with something real from their LinkedIn, like a recent post they made. The next batch of 100 emails hit a 31% open rate and pulled in 4 booked demos. Has anyone else seen big jumps just from tweaking subject lines, or is there a better angle I'm missing?
