The “Two Directions” Prospecting Email Template

Posted April 10, 2021

There’s a really effective email template we’ve been using that’s been getting incredible results during the pandemic.

It’s called The “Two Directions” email and here’s a basic overview.

When you begin your email, begin by mentioning that during the pandemic, you’ve seen companies go in one of two directions.

The first direction is waiting until after the pandemic to embrace (your type of solution).

The other is taking advantage of (benefit of acting NOW versus later like lower interest rates, less noise, competitive advantages, etc).

Why this approach works;

Because it addresses your prospect’s hesitation head on as opposed to pretending it doesn’t exist.

It also gives you an opportunity to provide an example of a company that DIDN’T wait out the pandemic.

There’s obviously more to this but this will give you the basics so you can create your own “Two Directions” email.

Do you want the template for this?

I’ll be sending this template (and 14 other pandemic appropriate email templates) during our upcoming How To Hunt For New Business MORE Effectively course.

Have you signed up yet?

Here’s what you’re about to miss;

In Session 1, we’re going to explore how you can seriously warm up your cold calls.

We’ll talk about 3 different “scripts” that I’ve designed to be used during the pandemic.

We’ll discuss how you can create a more objection-resistant dialogue while maintaining control of the call. And while we’re at it, we’ll discuss a revised objection handling formula that’s a must if you’re using the phone.

In Session 2, we’ll discuss how you can master this thing we call “email”!

I have tips that will help you with your subject lines, overall message, how to improve your response rates, and a few tactics that will forever change the way you approach emails going forward!

Oh, and you’ll get to send me one of your prospecting emails for an honest and helpful critique. 

In Session 3, we’re going to talk about how you can use creativity to stand out and capture the attention of your prospects.

I’ll be sharing numerous real-life examples of what sales reps have been using during the pandemic.

In Session 4, I’m going to show you how to put everything together into an all caps EPIC prospecting campaign
