Another good one guys. Love the power of the quick emails that bring a conversational tone rather than a bundle of whiskers!

One for the ages. The marketing fish are swimming towards automated email. Those opening a dialogue are going to clean up…because it’s hard to do.

What about the can spam laws. Don’t you have to identify the email as an ad in the subject line? Having just their name would be deceptive. Feedback wanted. Thanks Joe & Dean.

Dallas! You’re only sending email to people who are expecting to receive it…or have opted in. It’s not about scraping emails, or capturing them. It’s about a way of communicating with people you have permission to communicate with.

You’re right Dan. It is a little bit tricky logistically…but the results are worth it. The toughest thing is to not let Logistics get in the way of Logic
Dialogues make sense!

That was a great one, guys. Dean’s examples from his real estate email strategy was priceless. When you see the whole thing in action like that it really brings it home, because you can see where someone is strategically, happily guided down a path they really want to take.

Hi, I’m just wondering something about the dialogue part of the stategy. Have you found a way to automate it or is it a real live dialogue where you (or Julie or anyone) answer every specific email personally?
http://www.facebook.com/deanjackson Dean Jackson

You can automate the first part of it. We use autoresponders to start the dialogue…but the follow up is done by a real person. That’s why it works so well. At first they may “suspect” that it’s automated…but by the 2nd time you reply to their reply, they KNOW you’re really talking to them, and they open right up. It’s magic. (And PROFITABLE)

Thanks for the episode guys. As always infinite value. Wanted to say I have a free email reduction training program that shows people 5 different levels of email control. 1. Is mindset 2. Is Administrative Controls, 3. Is Engineered Controls, 4. Is Substitution (My Favourite) 5. Is Elimination. I ask for a donation to charity for the value to you from completing it. (You know where I got that idea) It’s at http://www.balancecoach.com.au/time-management/ My copy and page layout sux but the content is solid. Hope it helps.

Wow! Stunning!
Sent out 1200 emails like this:

“Hi Jamie,I just
wanted to ask did you get our new free report, Four
Fresh Organic Delivery Rip Off’s To Avoid?”

I got 25 replies within 30 minutes, another 20 this morning, instant traffic to the website, 10 more subscribers within 1 hour and 4 personal connections with customers about related stuff.

It took me most of the day to write the report, which is only 2 pages, but it just might be the best days work I’ve done in 3 yearsI (now) love marketing too!

Great podcast fellas. This one resonated with me. Emails are about 1. The List; 2. The Relationship with your list and 3. The Offer you are making. Also… 1 email = 1 message. Kurt Johansen http://www.kurtjohansen.com – The Email Marketing Guy.

Dean,

Have you ever applied and tried the 9 word email to direct mail? For example, a hand addressed, handwritten note… “Hey Harry, Are you still looking for_______?” and then leave your name and phone number… Do you think that open loop/expected response would still work in direct mail, if they have to call in their response… Or is it the ease and instant communication of email that really makes it work?
Anael Verdier

Awesome! I’ll start implementing these strategies right away. Thanks, Dean

Yes I too loved this podcast….especially that name personalisation followed by a question…just brilliant
Seth

Hey guys, great episode. Got a best practice question for you. Typically I don’t ask someone’s name on my email signup forms, as the signup rate has been much higher when just asking for their email address only. So what’s the best way to approach the 9 word email if you don’t have the name of the individuals on your list? Thanks again for the great info you share!
