Email Marketing Salesmanship with Rob and Kennedy #316
In this episode we meet Rob and Kennedy of the Email Marketing Show podcast. One continual challenge sales professionals face is to remember to follow up with qualified prospects. Today Rob and Kennedy share practical advice on ways to automate an email marketing sales follow up process and how to never let a warm lead go cold.
Why Follow Up is Important
It takes tremendous effort to hunt down a qualified prospect, however its work that has a special satisfaction. Once a prospect gets to know you, they are far more likely to convert into a customer. However this takes time and unfortunately the follow up process lacks the excitement of the hunt.
Consider the possibility of automating that follow up. With each step you advance the prospect a little bit towards the won deal stage. You never have to worry about it. It all happens on it’s own. So how would you do this?
Create a system based on the follow up conversation you’ve had with one client. Look at the emails and see how they are authentic and focused. Don’t send newsletter emails, instead emails that give the illusion you individually emailed them. Use the real dialogue with a prospect as a framework.
Often sellers struggle with what to say in an email. Consider a broad range of topics related to your product/service:
-
- a case story
- testimonial
- new release/version of the product/service
- industry news
- detailed look at one benefit
- detailed discussion on a common objection
Each email should add value.
Never repeat the same email e.g “just following up to see if there is anything else I can do to help”. Asking if you can help is OK, yet don’t squander an opportunity. Each mail warrants further information on some topic. Always, add value.
