Communication is key when is comes to selling, on boarding, retaining and running a successful business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, how do you get someone to listen to what you have to say when their email inbox is overflowing, they have a long to do list and know you are going to ask them for something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We teamed up with our friends over at Find That Email<\/a> to bring you 5 extremely affective hacks that will help you engage with cold leads or warm up a cold email list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guide<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here is a hypothetical scenario. Say, you\u2019ve lost your wallet and you need money to get a bus ticket. Which technique do you think will work better with strangers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario 1 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You walk up to a stranger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And say \u201cHey, I need money for the bus\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You walk up to a stranger <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And say \u201cHey, how’s it going? Sorry to bother you, I\u2019m in a bit of a pickle and you seem like a genuinely decent person and that is why I\u2019m asking you. So this is the situation… \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which attempt do you think will work out better? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s definitely the latter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying Cold<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of email marketers have in fact chosen the first route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They don\u2019t put their heart into it, they don\u2019t do their homework and they want quick results. A lot of outreach folk also do not segment their audience or truly understand their audience\u2019s pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why cold email outreach<\/a> has got a reputation of being a difficult channel to get business from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without the initial hard work, the people you reach out to will remain cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they don\u2019t get the results, they start complaining and they spell doom for the entire Industry. They usually write a post about how Email Marketing is dead because it didn’t work for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cold<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Warming things up <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And over the years, in an attempt to be professional, a lot of cold emailers have stuck to a script and have completely avoided any informal talk. You should know how important informal talk is. One of the reasons languages were developed was because of people\u2019s need to gossip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you stick to your robotic script, it\u2019s going to go nowhere. Here is an example of a chat conversation with a potential customer. We got talking about cities and the world and after a long conversation, a rapport was built. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not saying, fake the rapport. Be genuine. And don\u2019t be a robot. You don\u2019t have to become Facebook buddies with every customer. But it helps to form a bond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So at Find That Email, we use a few techniques for warming up a lead during outreach. Here are some ideas that you could use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Ways to Go From Cold to HOT!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Idea #1 : You are part of our same Facebook group. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever been in a situation, where you were interacting with a stranger and they happen to mention that they are from the same city as yours and your interest in them piqued? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something about being from the same tribe or group that warms people up immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the same thing with marketing, when you mention that you are from a particular Linkedin or Facebook group that they are part of and that is why you are reaching out to them, It immediately makes them at ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a sample idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey Joe,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m John Doe from Sweet Candy Tech. I see you are part of the SAAS Hacks group. It\u2019s a great group isn\u2019t it? Considering both of us are in the same group, I\u2019ve made a tiny assumption that we we might be interested in the same things…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is something we have constantly used at Find That Email with a good amount of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idea #2 : Common Friends with the Rock. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This actually requires a common friend.It\u2019s pretty easy to make common friends. A few people on Linkedin do accept requests from strangers that they\u2019ve interacted with a total of zero times. This is not a good common friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few techniques to make good common friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
