Even after doing everything perfectly up to this point, reality hits, and no one is responding to your emails. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can feel pretty crushing to invest so much time into your link building campaign and receive zero return on your investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Directive,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we use guest blogging to increase our client\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/resources\/glossary\/backlinks\/\">backlink<\/a> profile and brand awareness. Let me show you how we get prospects to ACTUALLY respond to our emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email Prospects at the Right Time<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timing is always an overlooked factor but it is crucial in everything we do. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to apply for a new job? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monday<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is your best bet. We\u2019ve found that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the best days to contact prospects as those are the most productive days of the week and holidays are often observed on Mondays and Fridays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15355\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Email outreach link building is enhanced when sent out at the right time.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time of day also becomes an essential factor in getting those sought after responses after all your hard work. We send our emails beginning from 6 am PST. By sending them this early in the morning we are able to ensure our emails are ready to be read by our prospects as soon as they get into the office for both east and west coast prospects. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your Subject Line Wisely<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.convinceandconvert.com\/convince-convert\/15-email-statistics-that-are-shaping-the-future\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convince &amp; Convert<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 35% of emails are opened by their subject line alone. For subject lines, we usually take two approaches. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We either:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get straight to the point<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establish our authority and credibility<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By getting straight to the point we are able to eliminate all of the small talk that no one likes anyway and we let prospects know immediately what the email is going to be about. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some examples of subject lines we have found success with included \u201cGuest Post Opportunity\u201d, \u201cLoved Your Article\u201d, \u201cI Quoted You\u201d. As you can see these subject lines get right down to business with zero fluff attached, which helped us increase our response rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other approach we take is quickly establishing authority and credibility in our subject line to show we have the writing chops to give their audience content that they\u2019ll love to read. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15356\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim2.png\" alt=\"Use subject line wisely to enhance email outreach link building.\" width=\"511\" height=\"42\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim2.png 511w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim2-300x25.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some examples of these subject lines include \u201cEntrepreneur Featured Writer Wants to Write for You\u201d, \u201cADP Partner Wants to Guest Blog for You\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notice how these subject lines include major publications or large companies that are easily identifiable by name? By piggybacking off of these brands, it helps to put the prospect at ease knowing they\u2019re working with someone who works with credible companies. Now, a quick Google search is all it takes to ensure the email sender is legit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By establishing this comfort for our prospect they are more likely to open and respond to our emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Straight to the Point<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the day and age of on-demand content, people\u2019s attention spans have become increasingly short. Your email needs to as straightforward as possible to keep your audience entertained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s be honest, the longer your email is the less likely people are going to read it. Within the first few sentences, we always let our prospects know who we are and exactly what we\u2019re interested in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15357\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim3.png\" alt=\"Be clear to enhance email outreach link building.\" width=\"512\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim3.png 512w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim3-300x44.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not trying to waste anyone\u2019s time! Make the beginning of your email beneficial for both parties. You\u2019ll see that when you cut to the chase, people will respect that. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make Your Email Personable<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to enhance email outreach link building, you can\u2019t make it seem like you just sent the same email to one hundred people! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, you don\u2019t want to write one hundred different handcrafted emails; time is money, right? According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adestra.com\/resources\/the-state-of-digital-personalisation-in-2016\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IDM State of Digital Personalization Report,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 82% of marketers reported an increase in open rates through email personalization, while 75% believe it yields higher <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/resources\/glossary\/click-through-rate\/\">click-through-rates<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get the most out of our email outreach, we utilize a software called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pitchbox.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pitchbox<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This allows us to insert elements such as a recent blog or news post that\u2019s related to their company or inform them about a broken link they can fix on their website. This approach lets them know that you\u2019ve done your homework and catered to the prospect. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15359\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15359 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim5.png\" alt=\"Personal email example that increased email outreach link building success.\" width=\"512\" height=\"95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim5.png 512w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim5-300x56.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot showing the prospect&#8217;s first name, article title, and link to the article being pulled in through Pitchbox, an email outreach platform.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide Easy Action Items<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can make the next steps simpler for your prospects, you will see huge improvements in your response rates. For outreach, we always provide several examples of proposed topics that we can write for their blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This eliminates the amount of work they have to do on their end and essentially becomes a multiple choice answer of which topic they\u2019d like to pursue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, their response is simple to craft and they can respond to our outreach email in a matter of seconds. These proposed topics also help decrease the amount of back and forth emails that can happen afterward if the prospect is interested in your offering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15360\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim6.png\" alt=\"Example of simple action items to enhance email outreach link building.\" width=\"512\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim6.png 512w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim6-300x67.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow Up With Your Prospects<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final part of how to get a prospect to respond to your email is to follow up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I cannot stress how important this part is. People are often drowning in work and sometimes miss your email. Because of this, it is of the utmost importance that you initiate follow-up emails!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caution: Make sure you aren\u2019t sending them too often and become pushy and obnoxious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the method that we take for follow-up emails at Directive.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow 3-5 days in between emails<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reiterate the value that they would be receiving from your offer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limit follow-ups to no more than two emails<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following up too much may give the impression that you are spamming them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this reason, we allow a few days of breathing time in between our follow up emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your follow-up email should be a modified version of your original email that communicates the same message but in a different format. If your original email was 3 paragraphs long, use 2-3 sentences for your follow-up. If your original email was only a few sentences try using multiple paragraphs in your follow-up to convey your message in more detail and elaborate that may resonate with them better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15361\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim7.png\" alt=\"Send out follow ups to enhance email outreach link building. \" width=\"512\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim7.png 512w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/12\/Jim7-300x185.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible that two emails may have fallen through the cracks or that the prospect was just too busy to respond so you can try emailing them one more time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if a prospect hasn\u2019t responded after 3 emails it is more than likely that they do not want to respond to your email. We don\u2019t want to burn any bridges during this process so we usually stop with the follow-ups here so that in the future we can reach out again if we have something else to offer that they may be more interested in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link Building Success!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there you have it, it takes hustle, strategy, and a little wit but that\u2019s how we get prospects to respond to our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">link building<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> emails.
