Hi [First Name], I see that you visited my LinkedIn profile yesterday and you didn’t send me a connection request. Hope that you didn’t find me too boring. 😉

Anyway, I still think that you should give me a chance because from what I can tell from your LinkedIn, we can have a lot to talk about, given that both of us are in sales.

How does that sound?

[Your Name]

Nataly, summertime and the livin’ is easy, right? Not so much for sales reps who can’t hit their targets.

Here are a couple of tips to show you what you can expect:
* automate your marketing and sales efforts
* give old deals one more chance
* prevent scheduling conflicts
* the out-of-the-office message is out of the question

Hey [First Name], I’ve stumbled across your [Website] the other day, and I must say that it looks really great.

It’s visually appealing and full of interesting and educational content (like those case studies). I already referred your company to some of my friends that might need help with [Job-to-be-done].

However, my wording in the opening sentence of this email was purely intentional. Namely, I found you only by accident. That’s something that can seriously damage the growth of your business. In other words, you need a sound Search Engine strategy which will put your website among the top search results and bring it closer to your prospects.

Here’s the link to my [Calendar], let’s have a quick discussion.

I'm trying to reach the person who's in charge of implementing marketing software at your company.

Thanks for your time,

Your article about your marketing program was very well-written. Great job ensuring that your sponsorship dollars reached your target market.

I left a comment on the article as it reminded me of [company X's] program. Do you see the similarities?

A colleague of mine is investigating solutions for predictive lead scoring. I've been following you online for a bit.

As an expert at sales, I'm wondering if you have any experience with any platforms or know anyone that does?

Hey [Prospect],

Your salespeople seem to be struggling with acquiring new clients according to an informal survey I did. [Name #1], [Name #2], and [Name #3] seem to all be struggling with acquiring new clients as you've grown the team. Specifically, they are struggling to initiate a dialogue with prospects like they used to.

Is it a priority for you to improve their ability to put new opportunities in the funnel?

Hey [Prospect],

Was browsing through LinkedIn. Looks like you and I are both in [industry], and we're both snowboarding fans. Have you ever dreamed of having an industry conference at a ski resort? I have.

Have you gotten out this year? I got out to Loon last month. The powder was amazing.

Hey [Prospect],

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world.

I love your wit and humor. I find myself nodding in agreement with your advice as I'm laughing out loud.

Your article the other day with the three email templates really inspired me. I forwarded to a few of my clients. One of them has really been struggling to connect with key prospects and we've implemented your advice. A prospect they've been trying to reach for a year now responded within an hour.

Would you like to see how my client applied your advice?

Hey [Prospect],

Welcome to town. My family and I enjoyed a nice dinner at your new Sudbury location last month. I really enjoyed the scallops and risotto. I'll be back.

I drove by your restaurant last night fairly late (I play indoor soccer at night ... I noticed that you were open, which is nice — I'll be bringing the guys by for a beer after next week's practice. But, I thought you were closed at first glance. I saw a few people sitting at the bar, but the light in front of the restaurant was really dim.

This isn't my area of expertise, but I know a good sign guy. Would you like an intro?

Hey [Prospect],

Your website's design is absolutely brilliant. The visuals really enhance your message and the content compels action. I've forwarded it to a few of my contacts who I think could benefit from your services.

When I was looking at your site, though, I noticed a mistake that you've made i.e., search engine optimization. It's a relatively simple fix. Would you like me to write it up so that you can share it with your web team? If this is a priority, I can also get on a call.

Dear [PROSPECT],

I noticed that during the "double sales training" you didn't purchase the "Institute" product at the end. And we'd love to know why.

I have no intention of trying to sell you anything, but we do want to make sure that we're hitting the mark with our customers.

Any feedback you can give us would help.

Were you not clear on what you were getting? Is there somewhere else in your business that you need to focus? Was it too expensive? Or is your business smooth sailing?

If you respond we'll send you a pdf on Dialing for Dollars - Chet's checklist for influence over the phone to thank you for your time spent. Please respond to this email with your reason why you didn't purchase and we'll send that over.

Best,

[YOUR NAME]

Hi [Prospect],

Just left a quick message at the office for you. I chuckled a little bit when I got an automated email this morning from your predecessor, [NAME OF PREDECESSOR] who we worked with briefly, and before him, [OTHER FORMER COWORKER NAME], who we worked with as well.

First and foremost, congrats on coming into this new role! I'm sure you've got a lot going on - so this conversation might be timely or not. If you're stressed, this is my go-to :)

My role here is working with businesses (in the area) on how they can effectively and efficiently drive more traffic to their website, increase conversions, and nurture leads into customers.

How has your first month kicked off so far?

Hi [NAME],

I am writing in hopes of finding the appropriate person who handles [DEPARTMENT I.E. MEDIA]? I also wrote to [PERSON X, PERSON Y, AND PERSON Z] in that pursuit. If it makes sense to talk, let me know how your calendar looks.

VoodooVox helps increase the revenues of Fortune 500 companies by marketing to Spanish-speakers. Each month we reach 25 million Spanish speakers with an audio message they must hear. We insert 30 second audio and SMS advertisements into phone calls made on calling cards. The benefit to users is they make their call free. The benefit for our clients is they can increase store revenue by providing text message coupons. Typical redemption is 3%. You can measure results online and with store sales. Advertisements can target specific ethnic groups and geographies. Some clients include Burger King, P&G and Chili’s.

If you are the appropriate person to speak with, what does your calendar look like? If not , who do you recommend I talk to?

Thanks,
[Signature]

Happy to connect [FirstName].

Given the ongoing situation, I was curious to know how you're engaging your audience during this time?

I can show you the simplest and most cost-effective option to live stream video using mobile devices as multiple cameras.

It’s sorta like having a production truck on your desk or in your backpack. I know it can really boost conversions, add authenticity and hopefully increase revenue, let’s talk.

When are you available for a quick demo?

[FirstName],
obviously times are tough right now, but things will get better, and we will get through this!
