TOP TIPS TO WINNING THE GAME OF COLD EMAILING
There are many different ways to reach your audience. One of the more effective, which isn't often talked about, is cold email.

In the world of marketing, cold emailing stands as a somewhat misunderstood option. Many see it as a spammy tactic, while others recognize its potential for genuine business opportunities. 

It's true. Many cold emails feel like an unwanted intrusion. 

However, with the right approach, they can be a powerful tool for making valuable connections. 

Here's a quick overview of the approach that Alex Berman recommends in his book "The Cold Email Manifesto":

1. Create an alternative domain name for your business. For example, if your domain name is yourcompany(.)com, create an alternative domain name, such as yourcompany(.)co. 

2. Create a new email account using that domain name. You can use Google Workspace or other email service providers such as Fastmail or Protonmail for this.

3. Warm up your new email account with an email warmup tool. You can use Lemwarm for this. 

4. Pay a lead generation expert to compile a spreadsheet with 1,000 leads. You can find freelancers that specialize in this on Fiverr. 

5. Start cold emailing leads. Begin with just 10 cold emails per day for the first week. Then start increasing it by 10 emails every day until you are averaging 100 customized emails per day. Use a cold outreach tool like Lemlist to keep track of everything.

The setup process might seem laborious, but it's nevertheless extremely important. Why?

Because you will probably make beginner mistakes if you don't have any previous experience with cold email. And those mistakes can get you marked as spam!

You should do your best to avoid that, but you also need to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. 

Hence the alternative domain name and a new email account. You don't want email service providers to blacklist your main business domain name!

Once you have a list of leads and a warmed-up email account to email them from, it's time for the important part…

What do you send them?

As for the content of your cold emails, Alex suggests that a great cold email consists of five parts:

1. Subject line
2. Custom compliment
3. Case study
4. Call to action
5. Email signature.

Here's the exact cold email template that his agency used to generate $600,000 in annual revenue in 30 days and then millions in revenue for both themselves and their clients:

The purpose of cold email outreach isn't to sell your product or service. It's to schedule discovery calls.

One of the most important steps to make this successful is the custom compliment.

Alex doesn't send the same basic email to everyone. That's a surefire way to get spammed. 

You have to take the time to learn something about the person you're emailing and use this to explain why you're emailing them.

For example, you might be looking to offer funnel building services to local restaurants in your area. So you could build a list of restaurants along with the number of reviews they have on Yelp.

Your email could then mention their restaurant name and congratulate them on the reviews. This would make it personalized.

You can then say, 'I specialize in increasing diners to restaurants in x city. Recently we worked with… to get…' 

So long as you keep it casual and make the next step easy, 'I can send over a few times to chat,' it's very unlikely that the restaurant owner is going to mark it as spam. They're going to think, 'This person got restaurant x that many new customers? I want to know how they did it!'

Think about how you can approach potential customers in your industry using this formula. It may well produce the best results from all of your marketing efforts.
HOW TO INCREASE YOUR LANDING PAGE CONVERSION RATES
In his book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" Robert Cialdini said, "The more people who find an idea correct, the more likely it is to be correct… We rely on the behavior of others, especially those we see as similar to ourselves, to determine appropriate behavior for ourselves."

As we've said previously, having social proof on your page can be a complete game-changer.

However, how should you use social proof, how should you structure it on your page?

Well, here are some of the ways we have found most effective: 

Testimonials
Product Review From Recognized Industry Experts
Case Studies
User Ratings
All four come from different angles, so provide something new for the reader. This compounds the power of testimonials on your page, increases the level of trust the reader feels, and naturally increases conversion rates.

As a bonus:

If you're just starting out and don't have testimonials just yet, you can search for proof from other sources.

For example, if you're selling a supplement, you can lean on the findings of scientific studies as proof. You can do the same if you're a coach.

You can also showcase your qualifications as proof. Many of our certified funnel builders do just that. They have been certified by the best, so potential customers know if the individual has been verified by ClickFunnels directly, they must know what they're doing.

Add some of these to your landing pages and watch the new level of trust transform your conversion rates.

TIPS FROM A TWO-COMMA CLUB WINNER
Mukul Jain built a Remote Closing Team in 2019. By the end of December 2020, they had closed well over $2 Million for various businesses, helping Mukul achieve the 2CC award.

Here are the ten tips Mukul suggests for everyone looking to reach that goal too:

1. Don't chase just the money. Chase excellence & experience
2. Think long term, work every day.
3. Avoid Get Rich Quick Schemes. The one who created the scheme is getting rich off of you.
4. Have laser focus. You can't focus on too many things and still exceed.
5. Learn how to sell and build. The market is evergreen for that.
6. Act locally, think globally.
7. Find a great team to work in sales. It eases off the pressure and encourages competitiveness.
8. Save & invest while you are young.
9. Don't aim for $1,000,000 all the time, especially when you are starting off. Aim for a realistic number for your next 1 year and make it irreversible.
10. Find a mentor who has been where you want to be.
That wraps things up for another Monday newsletter. Keep an eye out for Thursday's email when we'll be talking about copywriting, building resilience, and much more…

Have a great week!
