With all the craziness in the world, it may be difficult to contact your dream clients.
You might feel that any time of b2b sales lead generation is a lost cause, whether it's cold emailing, LinkedIn, or even cold calling.
Especially since everyone is working from home!
Now, what if I said there was a way to turn this into an opportunity?
What if this was your opportunity to leverage cold email marketing to turn your prospects into appointments, and those appointments to pay customers?
I'll share with you that now is better than ever to double down on sales prospecting and cold email clients.
Think about this…
With more people working from home, people are spending more time ever online.
And this appeared directly into how often people check their email inbox.
Let me ask you a question…
How often do you personally check your email every day?
If you're like most people, you're probably checking your email the first thing in the morning.
And throughout the day, you're probably checking your email every few hours just in case you get an important message from work.
Because of this, it's easier to get your email read.
But the problem most people face is that even if their email gets read, they don't respond.
And after teaching sales and cold email strategies for years, I realize people are typically making the same 7 Cold Email Mistakes over and over.
Mistake #1: Not Being Specific - Most people will try to include and talk about all their services within one email. This makes the prospect have to do to much work to see if they should schedule an appointment with you. Instead, you want to focus on a specific pain point you can solve.
Mistake #2: Using Industry Jargon - When you're selling something complex, it can be tempting to use industry jargon to explain what you do. But for the average prospect, they have no idea what you're talking about. To avoid industry jargon like API, protocol, SaaS, Attribution Tracking, and Pixel Integration. Use words regular people can understand.
Mistake #3: Bad Email Design - Don't make your email look like a marketing email someone would get if they signed up for an email newsletter. Make your cold email look as if a friend wrote it.
Mistake #4: Not Following Up - The magic of generating sales and signing new clients is in the follow-up. Follow up 2 to 3 times per prospect.
Mistake #5: Not A/B Testing - You must test and measure everything. From cold email subject lines, body, and call to action. That's the only way to see what works and what doesn't.
Mistake #6: Tracking Your Results - Use email software like Outreach, Close, Mailshake, or Reply to track your cold email results. From open rates, response rates, reply rates, and close rates. You must measure to improve!

Just finished watching Patrick is video on cold email mistakes, it was insightful! But hands down, Mystrika takes the cake when it comes to cold emailing. It is like armoring your email campaign with the best tools in market. Their analytics? Next level.

@@YourBFFMegan Thank you so much for your explanation. anyway, I wanna know wdyt about this: I don't want to start cold call without sending them an email at first, cause I worry that if I failed at the cold email, they won't even receive my email. that case sometimes happened to me. it is hard to cold call when I got a lot of things to discuss with them, especially talking about their business challenges (most of them won't share about that unless they understand what we did, but most of them once again didn't even know who am I and the company that I worked with) so it is kinda hard for me to cold call them without sending an introduction email at first.

A note on mistake using jargon. I believe it's essential to have personas of your target audience when drafting these emails. Doing so will give you a bit of an overview of your recipients and draft the optimal from there. CMIIW
