4 Emails: A Simplified Outbound Strategy

Long gone are the days of inundating prospects with 32-step sequences, only to find ourselves relegated to the dreaded SPAM folder.

Here's the strategy:

4 emails split across 2 threads.

The first email centers around one key value proposition, followed by a reply email. Repeat this process a week later in a new thread.

First Email Example:

Keep it straightforward. Offer a relevant insight, pose a question, present your value proposition, and include a soft call to action.

Hey Sarah,

With Q4 in full swing, I imagine SKO planning is top of mind for you.

Did you have any thoughts on my previous email?

That's the essence of it.

If there's one lesson I've gleaned, it's this: if you can't secure a meeting with 4 emails, bombarding prospects with more won't yield results. Instead, it'll likely land you in the SPAM folder, tanking your open rates.

And that's a scenario nobody wants.
