Creating your personal brand is powerful.
But taking action is where the £££ is at.
Opportunities don't just happen to you.
You have to create them through your outbound messages.
Here are my top 16 tips for optimising your outbound performance:
- Aim to connect first, not just to sell
- Make sure you have a clear USP
- Have a captivating offer (your offer should be so good that it’s almost a no-brainer for the client to want to agree)
- Have a kick ass personal brand - (think of your personal brand like a magnet that's designed to attract more positivity your way)
- Be super clear who your target customers are
- Ensure your DNS settings are setup correctly
- Personalise your message as much as possible
- Show a bit of personality
- Keep your messages as short and concise as possible
- Add your LinkedIn url to your email signature
- A/B test your messages
- Don't be afraid to be a little persistent (but not so persistent that you scare them away)
- Sell your service at a fair price
- Have a strong headshot for your Gmail Mailbox profile picture
- Have a good website where you can explain your system in more detail
- Create a video sales letter
Decision makers often receive a lot of outreach messages per day.
Use the list above to help you stand out from the masses.
