CHECKLIST AND TAKEAWAYS 65<br />

Don’t include attachments<br />

They can make emails bounce, and are unlikely to be opened<br />

anyway.<br />

Don’t ignore bounced emails<br />

Double check that the email address is correct, find someone<br />

else to contact, or try again later, instead.<br />

Always follow up<br />

It takes an average of five follow ups to close a sale. Enough said.<br />

Don’t buy email lists<br />

they’re a waste of time. Make your own.<br />

<strong>OUTREACH</strong> GONE WRONG<br />

Research your recipient<br />

You should at an absolute minimum know their name, the name<br />

of their company, and what their company does. Use this<br />

information to personalize all emails (again, this is the minimum<br />

amount of personalization you should aim for).<br />

Don’t blabber<br />

State how you can help your recipient, but do it quickly. Save the<br />

detail for proposals.<br />
