It isn\u2019t something that I read somewhere, but these are the 4 things that I did meticulously to <strong>target potential prospects<\/strong> and turn them into happy customers.

Before spending your marketing dollars on prospect lists, I would suggest you define a buyer persona and carefully select who you want to sell to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my case, the target audience is top-level <em>CXO&#8217;s, VP Sales &amp; Marketing<\/em> in <em>marketing and tech companies <\/em>who can be easily found on LinkedIn and other B2B networks. I use a tool called LeadGrabber Pro to Build Targeted Prospect Lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can know the <a rel=\"follow noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"significance of defining your buyer persona (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/buyer-persona-in-email-marketing\/\">significance of defining your buyer persona<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-engage-before-sending-email-campaigns\"><\/span>2: Engage before sending email campaigns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a targeted list of potential prospects, try starting a conversation with them. Look for them on LinkedIn, Twitter and other social media platforms and start engaging them by commenting on their posts, liking their discussions in LinkedIn Groups and sometimes sharing their content on social media sites<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to engage at least in 3 places before reaching out via outbound email campaigns. This is the best way to get on their radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-personalize-your-emails\"><\/span>3: Personalize your emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We send our first email sequence every Tuesday or Wednesday and it is always personalized.  We follow a problem-focused approach in writing our cold email and below is the basic structure of our cold email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hi [First Name], <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&lt;Question> Start the email with a question. State about problems\/pain points of the company that you intend to solve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> &lt;Solution>Then briefly tell them how you can solve. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call-to-action. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign-off!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The best email marketing campaign formula for any cold email is, keep it short, easy to read, and actionable. Remember that a lot of emails are read on phones. So making it easy to reply is critical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-keep-engaging-follow-up\"><\/span>4: Keep engaging <em>(Follow-up)<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something most sales and marketing professionals don\u2019t do. But the truth is, timely follow-ups with your prospects can turn your prospects into customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the prospects don\u2019t respond to your 1st email, keep engaging with them through social media channels while sending the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th follow-up emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To sum-up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Building strong &amp; trusting relationships with your prospects are important to add new customers. To do that, you have to genuinely care for your prospects and make sure that you provide them the right solution that addresses their problems. It takes time but it is worth it.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think the above-said process is lengthy, there are ways to automate it.
