Posted July 2, 2017

There’s a really simple email that I’ve been sending since 2010 that has generated hundreds of phone appointments for me.

Happy to share it with you but;

Don’t even think of dismissing it because of its simplicity unless;

You’re a competitor of mine!

Ready?

Here goes . . .

Each week;

Go to your LinkedIn network, and start alphabetically.

Pick at least 3 people that you’ve never spoken with, that you would consider a potential client.

Send them an email or “inmail” as they call it on LinkedIn.

In the email, mention that you’ve been connected for a while and you are embarrassed, that you’ve never reached out before this.

Suggest two scheduling alternatives (the same way you would if you were cold calling someone).

Once you schedule the call, research them as you would for a potential client.

Now there’s a bit more, once you get them on the phone, but the main thing to remember is, DON’T launch, immediately into a sales pitch.

Get to know them

Find out how you can help them

Perhaps introduce them to someone

Now if you speak to 3 people, each week;

At the end of a year, you’ll have increased your phone appointments by 150.

You’d really have to be a real jerk to 150 people to have NOTHING to show for that effort.

By the way, when I knew I was going to be launching Castain Training Systems, I spoke with 10-15 people, from my network, each week and;

I brought in 45 clients, in the first 30 days.

While your mileage may vary, I can’t see a downside to trying this approach.
