Pipeline Summit

The document discusses best practices for successful email outreach campaigns. It outlines five "magic tricks" that lead to success: 1) Using a template for cold emails, 2) Tracking email responses in a CRM, 3) Following up multiple times with non-respondents, 4) Personalizing emails for scale using mail merge, and 5) Closing the loop with respondents. The template emphasizes personalization, qualifying interest, and making it easy for recipients to respond.

Running in circles (1) Hi [Name], Ive reached out to you a few times hoping to talk about COMPANY and Emerce, but I havent heard back. Neither of us want to be running in circles if PRODUCT isnt interesting to you or your team, then Id love to know so I won't waste your time anymore. (M)
Running in circles (2) Do you relate to any of the following?: - Im interested but havent had the chance to reply. - I checked out PRODUCT but its not a fit for my team at this time. - The timing is off, perhaps we can reconnect in the future. Thanks for your time, Christian (M)

Permission to close your file? (M) Subject: Permission to close your file Hi [name], Im writing to follow up on my email. We are in the process of closing files for the month. Typically when I havent heard back from someone it means they are either really busy or arent interested. If you arent interested do I have your permission to close your file? If you are still interested, what do you recommend as a next step? Thanks for your help.

  • 53. Hi [Name], I hate sending annoying emails as much as you probably hate reading them but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't follow up to see where we stand. Is there a better time for me to reach back out so I can put what we can do for you in a better context? Thanks in advance! Christian End the thread with this email (M)

I am finally getting to a point where i can start to look at the new year. It would be great if you could share the event calendarfor 2016 including all details. I will then have a look and come back to you the first week of January. Look forward to hear from you Best Regards Martin (M)

  • 75. Running in circles (1) Hi [Name], Ive reached out to you a few times hoping to talk about COMPANY and Emerce, but I havent heard back. Neither of us want to be running in circles if PRODUCT isnt interesting to you or your team, then Id love to know so I won't waste your time anymore. (M)
  • 76. Running in circles (2) Do you relate to any of the following?: - Im interested but havent had the chance to reply. - I checked out PRODUCT but its not a fit for my team at this time. - The timing is off, perhaps we can reconnect in the future. Thanks for your time, Christian (M)

  • 78. Permission to close your file? (M) Subject: Permission to close your file Hi [name], Im writing to follow up on my email. We are in the process of closing files for the month. Typically when I havent heard back from someone it means they are either really busy or arent interested. If you arent interested do I have your permission to close your file? If you are still interested, what do you recommend as a next step? Thanks for your help.
