    [Day 17] First Consult Scheduled + LinkedIn Outreach Finally got the first consult on the books. I've decided to supplement the direct mail outreach efforts with LinkedIn. Is anyone doing any LinkedIn outreach to get clients?

    Thanks for the suggestions! I have both a Yelp and Google Maps Scraper. The problem with these are that I only am targeting Medspas that are getting the most organic search traffic since what I am offering is something that helps them with conversion (which is of little value if they aren't...

    Haha, thank you :) No, I'm not using the exact same lead magnet (they are not generic but industry specific). Ebooks used to work well but nowadays nobody wants them. What's working well for me right now are calculators, quizzes and online assessments

    Totally Agree. I think one main benefit from having people go over to a LP vs just call or send an email is that it's lower commitment and you're able to give more information through media like video, educating them so that they are more likely to request a call. But at the end of the day...

    1) Yes, I did. Sent out 100 lumpy mails, got 1 response. So it was pretty terrible. The problem was not with Germany though but with my target audience and my offer/messaging. I took the wrong approach. I have a friend in Germany who I told about direct mail and showed my template which he's had...

    For the business owner, it's a lower hurdle (micro commitment) to visit a website vs. emailing to schedule a call. On the website you can then show a video/case study, to "selling" them on why they talk on the phone. At least, that's the theory haha. As I said, I've always gone right for the call

    Thanks! I've actually never done direct mail to landing page... always direct to schedule phone call. May be an approach worth testing! It's still alive and well! Problem is that the niche is very small and I've maxed it out to some extent (at least from a "low hanging fruit" perspective)...

    I posted an ad on Craigslist to find someone to help me with the direct mail creation. I set the hourly pay to 8 dollars/hour which is close to minimum wage... over 16 applications in less than 12 hours. Hopefully at least one of them will pan out :) [Day 6 How I Hire On Craigslist]

    When I did my first direct mail campaign to get web design clients 4 years ago, I sent out 100 "lumpy" mail pieces and got a whopping 1% response rate. Pretty disappointing to say the least. My response rate these days is more like 3-7% which I 100% attribute to nailing the structure (AIDA) and...

    I can attribute 80% of my business' revenue to direct mail. It's one of the few mediums that allows you to reach almost ANYONE, no matter how important or busy (within reason). With more and more marketers shifting their lead gen online, I think there's a huge opportunity in direct mail —...
