Quick question on {{company}} {{first_name}}

Hey {{first_name}},

I know 2.22 percent of your traffic comes from email marketing, but I was wondering how big your email list is and how much profit you get from it?

Companies like MindFire Inc, Andresen San Francisco, Madison College, American Banknote Corporation, Cimquest, and many others trust me to help them get the most out of their email list.

Don’t believe me? See for yourself:

[[screenshot with a proof]]

I recently looked into Hunter’s email marketing and have some suggestions. Would you be interested in knowing them?

Just send a YES, and I will send it to you.

I've listed the questions below.

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Ideas Hey {{first_name}},

Since content is a major source of customers for you, here are a few meaty topics that would bring in high intent leads and a lot of social engagement.

[[Briefly describe a really good idea related to their business and your services]]

[[Briefly describe another really good idea related to their business and your services]]

A little about me: I create really engaging content that converts (recent examples: 1, 2, 3).

Would you be open to a 15-min brainstorm to bat around some ideas?

Who will get customers first, you, or your competitors?

Hi {{first_name}},

According to Investopedia, "many people will choose a do-it-yourself home renovation or upgrade rather than consider selling and moving during a recession. Depending on credit conditions, borrowing to buy a new home is often not an option for most people during a recession anyway."

This is great news!

Your customers will need your help to renovate or upgrade their homes.

The bad news?

There’s going to be a lot of competition via Google and Google Maps. With the right approach, you can generate 3x more leads; our report shows you how. This report is all education, no pitch. It’s also free; there’s no obligation to buy.

Interested?

P.S. I have [[x]] slots left. Request your free report and review [[here]].

Is this you, {{first_name}}?

Hi {{first_name}},

[[icebreaker]]

So, I’m reaching out to ask you a quick question: [[Intriguing question]]

Asking because I just finished [[Service]] for [[Client]], and achieved [[metrics]] – resulting in revenues approaching 7 figures.

My guess is these are results you'll want to have at {{company}}. And given {{company}} similarity with [[Client]], implementing our strategy will yield the same crazy results.

That said, I'd like to show you how this strategy can be useful to the marketing team at {{company}}.

Is this something you're interested in?

Yes!
