14. OUTBOUND EMAIL CAMPAIGNS – EMAIL SEQUENCE
For each micro-segment, you’ll want to:
▸ Draft a series of outbound emails
▸ A/B test timing of each email: best time of day / day of week
to send emails
▸ A/B test content of each email
15. OUTBOUND EMAIL SEQUENCE
▸ Outbound email sequences should contain 6 to 8 emails.
▸ On average, it takes 6 touch points to get a response from a cold lead so
don’t give up after 2.
17. OUTBOUND EMAIL SEQUENCEOUTBOUND EMAIL TIPS
1. Emails should sound as personal as possible. The target prospect you’ll be
emailing should feel like each email was manually crafted for them by a sales rep.
2. Keep them short. Attention spans are extremely short these days. The less
words you use to get your point across, the better.
3. Keep them simple. If someone doesn’t understand what you’re offering, they’ll
just skip and put your email in the trash. Avoid jargon whenever possible.
4. Create FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Use language that makes your offering
sound exclusive or intriguing.
5. Build credibility. Don’t make blunt statements (e.g. We’re the best company…).
Try to include relevant data points, client names or case studies.
6. Use your own voice / style. Don’t copy and paste every word from a template.
The more genuine and on-brand you sound, the more likely you’ll get a positive
response.
18. WARM UP ACCOUNTS WITH ADS
Push Domains + Emails of your target contacts to your ad
campaigns and warm them up with customized creative.
