Cold E-Mailing script suggestions

Dr_Scythe · Oct 17, 2011

Looking at sending out some cold emails to a group of local businesses shortly. Just looking for some inputs and suggestions on how to tweek the copy to achieve better results.

Everyone is welcome to use the script for their own ventures if they like it.

Subject: Can we meet up sometime next week?

To whom it may Concern,

My name is ______ and I?m a business marketing consultant at ______________. Listen, I know your time is valuable and you are very busy running your business.

I just wanted to contact you quickly to show you your current online presence and show you what we could do to improve it to drive heaps of new customers through your doors.

Customers these days are using the internet more and more to gather information regarding their needs before they even leave their house to look for products and services. If you do not have a strong online presence your customers will be completely overlooking you and in turn you will be missing out on more and more customers every month.

I have put together a complete report outlining your online presence how we can improve it to drive you clients. I would like to propose a meeting to go over the report. You can get in touch with me using any of the contact methods in my signature.

Regards,
_______

*Signiture with logo and contact details*

My main question would be whether to attach the report to the email or not. My thought is that with an attachment people might be hesitant to open it.

Any input and suggestions would be appreciated

To be honest the object of the game is to get a face-to-face meeting with them. So don't attach the report, just give them a follow up call and ask if you can drop by with the report.

The more you secure time the more time you have to sell your solution

Yea after posted I realized that not attaching the report gives me a nice opener for the follow up phone call.

Guess I just need to tweak the copy and then start sending them out!

I like this. Does anybody have any others? I am going to try sending a report with it for now and see what type of results I get.

in my experience cold emailing Int servies simply does not work...tried it....results were a waste of time.

Why i think?

1) They probably get hundreds of these a day.
2) They prefer face to face real businesses.
3) Who you know is more important than what you can do in "real bizz"
4) Recession they aren't spending???

Who knows.
