See Kevin, you're different in a couple (good) ways:

1 - you make yourself contactable. Some people hide behind "no-reply" email addresses and/or helpdesks.

2 - you actually read your emails AND pay attention to JV invites. I'm sure you get a billion of those each day :P For most people of your stature, a JV invite, no matter how to-the-point the subject line is, would almost certainly be ignored (unless it's from someone they know).

Unfortunately, what works to get your attention usually doesn't work on other experts and top marketers. Would be nice though, wouldn't it?

A subject line that tells me this is a JV invite and what it is for will get read, especially if it is from someone I know.

However, much, much better is if you take the time to contact me via Skype or phone. That will get my attention.

In fact, Louviere did it right the other day. He chatted me up at Friday Night Chat and called my attention to an e-mail he was sending me. then, we got on Skype.
