I read an interesting comment on LinkedIn earlier today.
Someone was polling their network for email tips.
One person wrote that they “feed” their potential clients useful/helpful content.
I’m all for that, and feel free to call me a dick but;
I’m really not looking to “feed” you.
Seriously, I’m not.
I’d rather give you a “taste” (You know, like those people in the mall who give you a sample taste on a toothpick?).
Giving you a “taste” makes you hungry for more.
So how do you make potential clients hungry via email?
Use a “Potato Chip” email!
You know the deal with potato chips . . .
You can’t eat just one!
Ways to present a “potato chip” to make someone “hunger” for your call;
Hint at a result and offer to share how they can achieve it, if they take your call, and then tell them the date and time you’ll be calling.
Offer some important info that you will share, if they take your call, and then tell them the date and time you’ll be calling.
An important resource that you will share, if they take your call, and then tell them the date and time you’ll be calling.
Anything to make them hungry but;
A) Obviously, don’t bullsh*t them.
B) Use your pre call planning research to make the email specific to THEM. Example: “I have a few ideas that might underscore your new green initiative, product launch, expansion, etc”
C) Use my “Reverse Call To Action” technique.
The reverse call to action is when you tell them the action YOU are going to take, instead of asking THEM to do something.
Example: “I’m going to call you, Thursday morning, at 9:30 am”
There’s more to this, but for now, this can and WILL heat up your cold call.
Why?
Because you’re intriguing them with something useful and relevant while holding out on delivering it until they take your call.
The brain loves a good mystery and has a need to connect ALL of the dots.
You’re also leveraging “FOMO” (Fear Of Missing Out).
Use that to your advantage with a “potato chip” email and follow up call.
FYI . . .
The “Potato Chip” email is one of 50 sales email templates I’m going to share in our 50 Emails (and templates) To ROCK Your Sales webinar.

Using the word “feed” when it comes to sending a prospect correspondences might be the wrong way to picture it. It doesn’t matter how you make first contact, but it is a good idea to give them smaller nuggets that will get them to want more, just like the potato chip!
