Hey guys,
I was going to create a general thread to share some tips for us, the startup dudes but maybe is better to create separate posts so other users and members can found it easily through the search results.
This is my first. Today I sent a couple of cold emails. I can't use a service like MailCheat(Chimp) because you have to have email's owner permission. So I sent them as you normally send emails.
Offered the service to businesses personally, I mean, writing the business owner's name, etc. Started with a question like
"Are you interested in receive estimate requests for your services? At Partylea we send them to businesses that are interested on increasing their online sales.
If so, we can keep you in mind to send our requests to you."
* Asking is a sales method that Ziglar used on his books and thought could be a good idea to use it on my emails.
* "We can keep you in mind" in my humble opinion works better (didn't tested it) than "when we receive requests", because in the last you're using something that COULD happen. I'm not an expert on this but try to use my empathy as if I'm the one receiving the email.
The tip I wanted to share is that instead of using your plain URL link on the email, you can use bit.ly and create a custom url for each business you contact, and bit.ly will tell if it was opened.
Yes, is very DIY and you have to create a new link per business, but could give you a better idea of how you're writing your emails.
This is a bit confusing but hope you understand my english and what I wanted to say
