In this previous post I shared Dean Jackson’s 9 Word Email technique for reviving dead leads.

I hope you had a chance to test it out in your business (please let me know what happened if you did).

But there’s an even bigger payoff from this idea hiding in plain sight.

That payoff is taking the format Dean uses in this Postcard and applying it to your business.

So let’s run through the process for creating your own Postcard (or Facebook Ad, Google Ad, blog post, Facebook post, direct mail piece, or display ad for your brick and mortar store).

But first, you can click on the image below to see it full size in a new window and download it to your computer for future reference if you didn’t already:

Okay, let’s get to work.

The first two paragraphs contain what we call a ‘Thought Reversal’.

In other words, Dean shares the results of a study showing only 15% of new leads will buy within the first 90 days.

And that most people consider people who don’t buy right away as ‘bad leads’ or ‘tyre kickers’.

But the fact is most people NEVER buy immediately, or even within a few weeks of initial contact.

This is something people either don’t understand, or goes against what many believe.

Then he shares the simple idea of going through your lists of people who contacted you over 90 days ago, and following up with them to see if they are still interested.

The best way to do this is to reference their previous correspondence to remind them of why they contacted you, and ask them if they are still in the market by using the 9 Word Email.

For example:
_______________

SUBJECT: 6 Stone Street

Hi John, are you still thinking of selling your home at 6 Stone Street?

Rob
_______________

Then Dean includes some proof statements to show the effectiveness of this idea, followed by an explanation of why it works so well.

Finally he invites you to learn more, including how to follow up with people who reply to your 9 Word Email, sample subject lines to test, case studies, and more.

This type of information marketing is so powerful because it helps you make invisible prospects visible.

People who are interested will put their hand up and request more information without the risk of having a salesperson call and try to ‘close’ them on something.

And your followup information can help them make an informed decision on whether they want to go further with you when they are ready.

People will buy in THEIR timetable, now ours.

Our job is to be there for them when they are ready to make a purchase.

Getting people subscribed to an email list using marketing like this is a long-term strategy that will help you to make sales for years into the future when done right.

If you like this idea, I’d love to see what you come up with to test it.

If you like, send me a draft copy of what you put together and I’ll give you my feedback on it before you send it.

Hope this helps,

Warm regards,

Rocky
