I do this for a living and craft somewhere between 1000 and 2000 emails a week. Here are some additional tips:
- be authentic. I never email anyone without believing 100% that my message can help solve a problem I already know they are struggling with.
- be personal. Do some research and find something that shows you are putting in the work to make sure you are authentic. It makes all the difference.
- be honest. Should go without saying.
- offer something expecting nothing in return. For example, if you are selling SEO services send them a list of where their site ranks for 5 keywords you think apply to their business. Then send 2 or 3 simple things they can do on their own to solve the problem
- keep it short. 140 words is enough. Keep rewriting until it is that short.
- ask one question and make it yes or no.
Lots of other nuance but those are good pillars to build on.
- gnicholas 7y agoWhat is your source of email leads? That is, how do you know of 1000-2000 new people each week whom you know you can help with a problem they are struggling with?
- goatherders 7y agoI have a team of researchers and a number of tools (sales navigator, apollo, zoominfo,etc.)
- viburnum 7y agoTell us more about writing spam.
- goatherders 7y agoCare to tell me what you do for a living so I can insult you without all the facts?
- viburnum 7y agoIt’s not writing one email a minute.
- goatherders 7y agoCool, I dont do that for a living either. What do you do?
- AznHisoka 7y ago“I never email anyone without believing 100% that my message can help solve a problem I already know they are struggling with” How do you know 100% they have that problem if you have never talked to them before? How do you know they have not already solved it?
- goatherders 7y agoOne example. A client of mine that provides AWS consulting/managed services. We might reach out to companies hiring cloud Engineers and say "FTE may be the way to go, but there are other ways to solve this that cost less and launch faster than hiring a new employee." Some ignore, some decline, some are interested and we start a conversation.
