Emails, emails, emails. They keep coming in. Some from social media notifications, weekly grocery store roundups, or that sketch deal website that you subscribed to in highschool that keeps sending unsolicited newsletters from different addresses. Maybe, that’s just on this side. Point of the matter, is that everyone gets spam. Of the eight billion people alive right now- not a single one of them like opening them. Except us. Why? Well, because there’s a little trade secret *rubbing hands together* that most people won’t know about until they read this post. It’s how to turn spam emails into sales.
We’re going to give you the formula, all you have to do is apply it. Is your inventory going to be flying off of the shelves by just doing this- not exactly. But, it’s free and doesn’t take much time. What’s better than that? Here’s how it works: whenever you get a cold email copy and paste this template.
Hi [customer],
I get a lot of sales pitches everyday, and respect the hustle. So, I’ll make a deal with you. Expense [insert product/service] and forward your receipt to me. I’ll listen to a ten-minute pitch from you. Otherwise, please remove me from your email list.
Thank you.
You can do this one cold email at a time or use an autoresponder to be more efficient. It’s always great to hear a new pitch, but time is valuable. You’ll know who is serious and who is lazily bulk sending. This puts the onus on the salesperson to put the effort into their offer. Filter the non-responses or the no-follow throughs out your drip campaigns.
This one technique will keep your inbox sane and manageable. So, go forth, and turn that spam right on ’round.
