It’s like the quest for the holy grail or the fountain of youth a mystical thing that will magically solve all your (lead generation) problems once you get your hands on it .  \nThere is no such thing as a magic bullet in sales even the best templates won’t help you if you use them wrong. This is an important principle that many people get wrong:  \nthey focus on the tiny details, and spend huge amounts of time perfecting the little things.  \nI wrote this guide because I want you to spend most of your time on the things that will make the biggest impact on your bottom line.  \nA good process beats great templates  \nTaking a template, filling in the blanks and hitting send is easy. But that’s not how you grow your business.  \nPut some thought into developing a solid process or even better: quickly copy a process that works, and improve on it over time. This guide you’re reading right now it’s basically a quick start guide to get your cold email process together the right way.  \nWhat do you want to achieve with cold emails?  \nThe goal of your cold emails should be to a) set up a meeting/call or b) get referred to the right person. It’s an opening so that people expect (and want) to talk with you.  \nCold emails are the fastest way to reach the decision maker within an organization without a pre existing relationship.  \nWho are you mailing to? Your perfect customer  \nHow do you find the right people? The very first step is to have a clearly defined customer profile. The more specific the better, because then you’ll be able to speak their language, which can drastically improve response rates.  \nToo many companies spread themselves out too thin. They send too many emails to too many different companies in too many different industries and then they fail to generate consistent results, and never have reliable data to improve their processes on.  \nIt’s a lot better to focus on a tiny niche first, and then move on to the next vertical afterwards, then to target two (or more) verticals at the same time. I can ’t drive this  \nCold Email Hacks 1.0 page 1  \npoint home enough: less but higher quality leads will almost always lead to more success!  \nFocusing on a small niche allows you to  \n● address their wants and needs with much higher precision,  \n● word your emails in a way that’s speaks to them in their own language,● do things the way they do things so that your selling processes matches their  \nbuying process.  \nThis isn’t a guide about creating ideal customer profiles, but Lincoln Murphy has written an excellent post on this subject:  \n[http://sixteenventures.com/ideal](http://sixteenventures.com/ideal) customer profile  \nIf you need help with this just send me an email (you’ll find my email address at the end of the book) .  \nWhere to find email addresses?  \nThere are four basic ways to get email addresses:  \nHighest quantity/lowest quality: Buying Lists  \nIf you buy from these providers, you should expect that a certain percentage of that data will be outdated. ( It's been a couple of years since I last use any of these companies, but back then about 30% 40% of the data I bought was outdated) .  \nConsider this will cost you twice: once the money you spend acquiring the bad data, and then the money (time/resources) you invest in reaching out to those unqualified leads.  \nHigh quantity/low quality: Web Scraping  \nAn alternative to buying lists is to make your own list by scraping websites, which means you extract contact data from a website with a little program/script.  \nIt's a bit of a gray area, and you should check if the website you want to scrape allows that.  \nIf you target a very specific niche and there are highly targeted websites, this can be a successful approach.  \nLow quantity/high quality: Outsourced Lead Gen Team  \nHire a company that manually finds leads for you, based on the criteria you establish with them.
