The Original Drunk Cold Email
Subject: Apologies in advance
Greetings Joe,
You’ve never heard of me. (Hi, I’m Jon!) I got your details from a list.*gasp* But hey,
at least you’re list-worthy, that’s gotta be worth something, right?
Ok. Let’s get down to brass tacks. I’m writing to you from the office of Render
Positive, a highly creative marketing agency I run with my brother Gary, and a team
of 20 people far more talented than me.
For over five years, we’ve run our amazing agency. It’s a wonderful feeling
knowing we are not ripping clients off – and we are doing the best work of our lives.
We’re looking to win clients over to our site and away from that evil (ok, maybe not
evil… but not as good) other agencies.
If you let me have a chat with you about your digital marketing needs, I will take you
for coffee/lunch/tequila shots and promise to be somewhat entertaining. If you’re
lucky, I may even wear a top hat. First off, I’d love to give you some ideas you’re free
to steal.
I have attached a picture of a ferret that has been dressed up. According to the
Internet, his name is Colin. I trust this will charm you into submission.
What you will learn from Charming Copy Crash Course :
Part 1: Charming Copy Crash Course
Want to learn how to open up opportunities for yourself whenever you want?
You’ll be able to generate leads by choice. You’ll be able to pick and choose the types of companies you want to work with.
Have dream clients you’d LOVE to work with? I’ll show you how the right words to get their attention.
I’ll analyze a range of my most effective templates, breaking down the structure, and explain the joke formulas and persuasive devices contained within.
I’ll show you how to write charming follow-up messages that nudge your targets into replying.
I will run through examples of my successful copy, showing you the structure, rhetorical devices, and joke formulas used throughout.
I’ll show you how to:
-
Get prospects to enthusiastically agree to a call or meeting with you, using winning examples from brands like Hewlett Packard, Symantec, Red Bull, Walt Disney, o2, and many more.
- Follow up with your target prospects in a way that is polite, endearing, and effective.
- How to follow up with prospects that send you a positive response.
- Invite yourself to huge podcasts such as Entrepreneurs on Fire.
-
Get coverage in publications such as Time Magazine, The Guardian, The Independent, Venturebeat, The BBC, Entrepreneur.com, Inc.com, and many more.
- Moving past the cold pitch: I’ll show you how to use charming copy to request testimonials, ask for referrals, and upsell other services to your existing clients.
- Use direct mail to get the attention of senior decision-makers who are near impossible to reach using digital mediums.
You’ll learn the principles of writing charming copy, including how to:
- Open your emails in a way that surprises prospects and makes them smirk, smile, or laugh out loud.
- Introduce yourself and your offering succinctly in a way that intrigues your prospects, without boring them or being self-indulgent.
- Command the attention of your prospects throughout your email using humor formulas, ensuring they read it to the end.
- Sell the idea that a brief call with you won’t be a horrible ‘hard-selling’ experience, it’ll be enjoyable and beneficial to your prospect.
- Use the Charm Offensive approach to make whatever request you desire, enabling you to write your charming emails, letters, and messages.
Q&A Session
After the training sessions, we will have a questions & answers session.
Ask whatever you want about charming copywriting, or anything relating to winning clients, keeping clients, or anything else you think I’ll be able to help with.
Part 2: Time to write
One to One Support from me
Once the training sessions are over, it’s time for you to get writing.
Virtual Writing Workshop attendees will also be able to get feedback on one piece of copy they would like to review.
