- I got this question from Hatem a little while ago.
He said he's been following the tips for a while,
but he loses clients after that initial cold email.
So in today's video I want to run through
his exact email script, the responses he's been getting
from clients
and figure out how do we engage prospects
after the first email.
Let's jump into it.
If we look at his initial cold email
we'll see almost instantly why nobody is responding
or they're disengaging after that first email.
Look at this email that he's sending out.
I was looking for an insurance agent in Los,
and then a big space, Angeles
and came, and then a big space,
across your office.
Your office is doing pretty good
and I was wondering if this could help you.
My name is Hatem.
I am the CEO at Marketing Predator.
I'm gonna stop right there.
We gotta do some stuff right away.
First of all there's no greeting.
There's no hey Marina or hi Marina.
The email is coming from a Gmail address
with no signature
and the company's called Marketing Predator.
Three things off the bat that I would change there:
corporate email address, corporate signature
and customize the first name of the email.
Basic fixes, but the lesson is larger.
First lesson is Hatem thought the problem was
that he wasn't engaging clients after his first email.
We're looking at the first email.
It's actually clear that he was losing them
with the first email.
They're just responding, because it sounds like
they're confused.
My fix for that is asking experts
so Hatem did the right the right thing in reaching out.
Number two is understand how you're perceived.
If you wanna be the CEO of a marketing agency,
you have to act like the CEO of a marketing agency.
That means creating a website,
not calling yourself Marketing Predator.
Somebody who understands marketing
wouldn't have a name like that.
And you can tell from the customer's feedback.
Marina said please send a more formal offer
with your company name and your signature
and that's what's so sad
about this failure that we all go through
when we're building up these cold email campaigns.
This was a client that seems to be interested in marketing.
If she's gonna read this email
and respond to it in it's current state,
this person wants marketing.
They need marketing badly.
So badly that they're willing to give him a second chance
on a bad cold email.
And you can see the same in the other responses.
Here's one from Araceli.
If it has anything to do with marketing,
this will have to go through the agent.
I will go ahead and forward.
I'll let you know if she has any questions.
This comes down to industry knowledge and knowing
which target is right to reach out to,
but he did get a forward and this same feedback's
coming from Kim from this other client.
This would look a little more legit
with a professional signature and email address,
not to mention a link to a website.
Predator indeed.
When your cold emails are so bad
that the client that you're reaching out to
is giving you feedback, actionable feedback
on how to improve, I recommend taking it.
This might seem like an outlier.
You might be asking yourself why I'm presenting this to you
on this YouTube channel, but these are the mistakes
that a lot of us are making.
We might not be making all these mistakes at once,
but I was just on a coaching call
with a client who didn't realize his website was down.
He did everything right:
custom cold email, sending from a company domain.
It looked professional, but when they went to the website
it was down and he was losing meetings, because of it.
I like this example, because he does so much incorrectly,
which helps teach the process.
Are you having issues with your colds emails
or your sales process, anything like that?

Would love to potentially run through your processes
in a future video.
