Clients just want their problems solved. Here’s how to use smart email strategies, storytelling, value-adding content and EQ to position your firm above the rest.
Sending the right email communications at the right time can indoctrinate and excite your prospects to the point where they’re practically begging to work with you. Here are some powerful email-centric strategies you can implement to help achieve this goal:
Create and send smart industry analyses, commentary, and IP to your prospects via email. This can be in written, diagrammatic, or video form. This includes but isn’t limited to short videos, analytical pieces, webinars, checklists, fact sheets, and scorecards your prospects can complete on their own.
Case studies are powerful sales tools. They empower you to “show, not sell”. When a prospect reads a case study, they’re learning about your skills, experience, and problem-solving capabilities (and are therefore being “sold to”) without knowing it. Use email to deliver rich text and/or video case studies.
We all work with those we like and trust. Use email to share videos, images, and other collateral that help your prospects understand who you really are (and the things you value). Examples include meet the team images and staff bios.
Use email autoresponders to deliver pre-written emails that form deep buying connections with your prospects, completely on autopilot.
Continue to educate and nurture your prospects using regular, handcrafted email messages. Aim to deliver unique value, every time.
Like most things, the top 20% of nuanced tactics can deliver 80% of your results. Here are some of our most-loved email marketing success tips:
The ancient art of storytelling forms deep connections with almost everyone. Email marketing is the perfect medium for storytelling. Use carefully crafted stories to deliver valuable information and hidden sales messages that captivate, connect, and convert new clients on autopilot.
Your subscribers and prospects *love* knowing information that others don’t. Provide your email list with valuable information they can’t get anywhere else, and they’ll quickly perceive you as an industry expert. Aim to make them the smartest person at their next family gathering.
It can be easy to over-sell in email marketing. Remember that you’re competing for attention inside a busy inbox. Aim to make every email educational or valuable in some way… and make selling an organic, secondary function of each broadcast.
Junk and spam filters are your worse enemy. Setting up DKIM and other email server verification settings can help with this. And avoid using words, phrases, and email structures that spam filters hate. A few tweaks to your email content strategy could greatly improve deliverability.
