Some years ago, I put together a telesummit.
It was very successful for both me and the experts I invited; everyone grew their list and made money.
When I started, I didn't know any of my experts. These were big names in marketing with big communities, and I was the new kid on the block.
So I sent each one a
personal, individual video introducing myself and telling them why I specifically thought they'd be a great fit for the summit.
Every single one said yes, except one who's calendar was already booked.
Today, you don't have to send a video email, but just a simple well crafted, short email ask to your favorite business superstars.
And you don't
have to be doing a telesummit to get advice from your favorite business idol.
While I get a lot of “cold” email, I rarely get any that are personal and come across with intelligence.
When I do, I reply and am often willing to give
the person asking more than they asked for.
Please do not make this a push button cattle call sending generic emails to dozens.
Instead this is selective, exclusive and each email must be short, to the point, and personal.
YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU AREN'T WILLING TO ASK FOR…TRY THIS!
And read the
article, it will all make even more sense.
Mega Hugs,
Melissa
PS. It is often best to send at late night or very early AM hours to avoid being lost behind the avalanche of email your idols are getting. Also they are more likely to be the one skimming their inbox late night and very early AM before an assistant steps in.
