That way I know I got through to the potential client. E-mailing is kinda ify: Will it go in their spam box? Did they delete it without really reading it thoroughly? Did the yeven open the e-mail TO read it??? Nearly every time I will get their voice mail, which is great, because they can always go back to it later on, sort of like e-mail.  It's been said that one should not leave messages. That's BS. Calling or e-mailing - it's basically the same when leaving them info. about yourself. For me, I’d rather call them on the phone.

I used to make cold calls and I guess its not that really effective. In some areas, especially in the US, cold callers or telemarketers are not allowed to call to promote company services or sell certain products. Great strategy in cold emailing. Thanks Theda!

Rogers Wed, 20 Feb 2008 01:59:01 +0000 http://www.hochstadt.com/how-to-get-new-clients-using-email#comment-472 Thanks for the great response, everyone. John: I agree you have to be careful not to come across 'cheap.' When or if I talk to the prospect, they quickly find out that my rates are reasonable, but not low. I think that's what you mean, right? Ling: I definitely don't mention my work-at-home status when I cold email. And if the client doesn't bring it up (they can find out about me from my blog), then I don't see a reason to bring it up. As far as the cold emails, I just use the script above, with very few variations. Popular Wealth: Thanks for the compliments! You don't really have to build an email list, though. I just send a few, maybe 5 or 10, and sometimes just 1 or 2, whenever I have a free moment to find a few email addresses. Since each email is personalized, I find it easier to do one by one. Don't let not having a whole bunch of emails at-the-ready stop you from starting to market, if that's what you want to do. You might happen to reach someone who needs you today, not when you have time to compile a list. Go for it! Kumo: Thanks for commenting. Simple and clear is definitely a must for my situation. Just answering these few comments took me a while with my daughter interrupting every minute or two. LOL! Thanks for the great response, everyone.

I've bookmarked it for future reference, I simply don't have time to begin an email list though it is on my to-do list. It's nice to see that you included c-span concerns into the article instead of focusing on simply how to get more from the recipients. Keep up the great writings! Excellent post!

I'd also add that you should not mention the 'work-at-home mom' part, at least in the first email. Also, don't use words like 'I think' or 'I guess', which leave an impression that you may or may not be able to do it. Just say that you can do it. Period. Useful article, Theda.
