MenuWhat are the most important areas to address in an autoresponder sequence?
So far, I am covering sample work done by the service as well as covering common objections. Are there any other standard things you recommend?
Answers
A lot depends on the service you're offering.
But I'd definitely include case studies of previous clients. Don't just offer testimonials but weave a story around your previous clients' experiences.
Again, I could help more if I knew what you were offering.
Another useful strategy is to offer some kind of special/limited deal on your service if they still don't bite after x amount of emails. Just be sure to move people from your autoresponder prospects list to a buyers list when they do eventually try your service.
The key to a strong nurturing series is not just sending the right content, but sending the right content to the right people. To start out, find a few criteria (can be demographics, personas, behaviors on your website) that define distinct segments of your audience.
For a nurturing sequence, some good bets would be to segment based on:
- your specific product/service in which they've expressed interest
- their role at their organization or in their household
- their strongest motivators
- their biggest challenges
Once you've mapped out a few different segments to address, determine what content would make the most sense for each segment, and customize your nurturing content to their interests/needs. So for example, if you're creating a sequence for folks who have only visited your website once, you'll want to send them some helpful content to provide value & build trust. On the other hand, if you're nurturing folks who have been to your pricing page, it's okay to dive in and show them case studies, find out if they want to talk to a sales rep, etc.
Happy to help you think through your specific strategy in greater detail if you'd like. Good luck!
A good opt in process. This is crucial. The more information you can capture upfront, the better you can tailor the sequence.
Second is to have a clear objective and enough content to follow up at least once per week over 1-2 months. Again, depending on the goal of the campaign.

How do I get people to subscribe to my email newsletter?
I would seriously consider launching a blog and posting content of the same type to the blog, in abundance. Then add a popup box to the blog to collect email addresses. Post daily blog posts about topics related to your blog and your newsletter. If you do this consistently, over time, you will build up traffic to your blog and also get people entering their email into your popup. This is the free way to do it...EW

What is the industry average conversion rate for cold emailing?
Cold emailing is just as bad for you and the recipient. Even if you have the perfect list, the attempt to sell in a cold email is rarely going to be effective. You're better off curating the list to the top prospects, find a mutual connection on LinkedIn or even just cold-invite them on LinkedIn,. Worst case scenario, send a 'permission pass' email where you simply gauge interest and let them know you won't be emailing them again if there's no interest. Keep it very short, non-commercial with just solid information/links to web, and an easy to reply yes/no answer.BI

How can I go about using social media outlets to attract new clients?
Hello, great question here. First of all you should understand that there is no 1 way and depending on who your audience is and what you sell the answer will definitely vary. A short answer however would be - engagement. Forget about likes and follows and shares are engagement, if you want to be a successful marketer you need to see engagement as conversations. The more conversations you can build around products the more you can rely on them to follow links or follow up on a request when you do make one. With that said, social media updates should be about what your followers want to see - depending on the social media - try to avoid being too pitchy on each post.
