Please please please don't ever send an email like the one I just received the other day (screenshots inside) â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â If you want to get more customers by borrowing other peopleâs audiences (and if youâve been paying attention to the last few emails, I think you do), promise me something right now: Promise to never send a pitch email that looks anything like this: [Image] Yes, that is from my inbox. Yes, the guy actually used âsynergyâ without trying to be funny. Yes, I looked just like the kid from Home Alone discovering Buzzâs girlfriend when I opened it: [Image] The crazy part? I get pitch emails as bad as that one every single day. Thatâs why I laugh when people tell me theyâre nervous to send partnership pitches to influential companies and leaders in their niche. The truth is that 99% of the pitches your potential partners receive are straight up awful. Which means it doesnât take nearly as much skill as you might think to catch their eye and get a response. But there ARE a few tricks you need to know. And in this email Iâm going to give them to you. Youâre going to see a handful of the pitch email secrets we help our Unfair Advantage clients use to consistently get industry leaders to showcase them to their audiences. (Reminder: Unfair Advantage is our new 12-week program where we help you get featured to one new audience each week. [Go here to get all the details.]() With the pitch email formula below, you can convince thought leaders in your niche to⦠- Interview you on their podcast
- Invite you to teach an online workshop for their audience
- Feature you on their blog or email list
- And much more In short, this is the email formula for getting your business in front of large audiences full of your ideal customers. Letâs go! How to Convince Nearly Anyone to Feature Your Business to Their Audience with a Single Email Letâs not overcomplicate this. A pitch email only needs 3 simple ingredients to be successful: - A relational anchor: This explains your connection to the person you are pitching so they can see youâre not a random weirdo (even if the connection is just that youâre a fan of their work/product/etc.)
Â
- A win for the person you are pitching: This explains why the partnership will benefit them
Â
- A clear ask: Your potential partner should be able to respond with a simple âYes, Iâm interested,â or âNo thanksâ The easiest way to learn what these parts look like is to see them in action. Example: Letâs say that your business is based around selling an online course and coaching program that teaches parents how to get their kids into a good college. You help them navigate all the tricky processes between high school and collegeâfinding colleges, writing applications, dealing with the emotions, etc. You find a Facebook group called Teen College Prep that you know has a ton of your ideal customers among its 10,000+ members: [Image] You scroll down to the pageâs admin info so you know the exact right person to pitch: [Image] Hereâs an example of a pitch you could send via email or Facebook message that contains all 3 of the essential elements I mentioned earlier: ------ Hi Mitchell, Big fan of everything youâre doing with the Teen College Prep group on Facebook. I think I refer parents to it on a weekly basis now. :) [Insert Screenshot of You Sharing the Group via Email, Text, FB, Etc.] I help teens and parents navigate the college admissions process with my website, [Website Name]. Recently, it seems like there have been TONS of posts in the group from parents with questions about application cover letters. I actually have a presentation called â10 Essential Ingredients of a College Cover Letter Applicationâ that answers a ton of those questions. What if we partnered on a Facebook Live for the group where I deliver the presentation with a Q&A at the end? Youâve probably already noticed how interested members are in this topic, so I think it would get some great engagement within the group! Are you interested? ------ Alright, letâs break down how this email incorporated the 3 essential ingredients of a rock-solid partnership pitch: Ingredient #1: Relational Anchors Even though Iâve never met the dude behind this FB group, there are still 3 relational anchors packed into the first 4 sentences: - Anchor #1: I complimented him on creating an awesome FB group
Â
- Anchor #2: I showed him that I refer friends to the group
Â
- Anchor #3: I mentioned specific details about topics discussed in the group The combination of these 3 anchors immediately qualify me as someone who has a genuine interest in the group and isnât just spamming him with a generic pitch. There are 2 types of anchors you can use if youâre emailing a potential partner who has probably never heard of you: 1. Consumption Anchors: - Tell them you read a blog post, listened to a podcast, watched a webinar, etc.
- Tell them you bought their product
- Describe specific benefits/results youâve gotten from their content or product 2. Promotion Anchors: - Tell them you shared their content
- Tell them you shared their product Whichever anchors you use, the most important thing is to be genuine. Donât just grab a random blog post they wrote, share it on social media, and then email them saying youâre their biggest fan. Take some time to engage and participate before you pitch. Ingredient #2: Win for the Partner This is where itâs easy to get stuck with a pitch, especially if youâre just starting out. âBut I donât have a huge audience to offer the partner in return! What win can I offer them??â Listen up: EVERYONE you pitch is going to have the same needâvaluable content to offer their audience. All you need to do in your pitch is demonstrate that: - You recognize a specific problem/challenge their audience has, and
- You have the expertise to help them solve that problem/challenge Thatâs exactly what we did in this part of the pitch: âRecently, it seems like there have been TONS of posts in the group from parents with questions about application cover letters. âI actually have a presentation called â10 Essential Ingredients of a College Cover Letter Applicationâ that answers a ton of those questions.â Of course, if you do have an online audience of your own, you could also offer to promote the event to them as well. Itâs nice to have, but not essential. Ingredient #3: Clear Ask âAre you interested in collaborating together on something?â is not a clear ask. âAre you interested in co-hosting a Facebook Live that will teach your audience how to write amazing college application cover letters?â is a very clear ask. All it takes is a simple yes or no from the partner to advance the conversation. Pro Tip: When your pitch makes it easy to respond, you will get more responses. Itâs that simple. When writing your own, I suggest starting by putting âAre you interested?â at the bottom. That way, youâll force yourself to build up to a clear ask from the start. ⦠Like I said, this 3-part formula is not complicated. Itâs how, week after week, we have clients reporting successful partnership pitches like these: [Image]
