Do Not Prospect Like These People
I have a website that's in the top 5 for some 50 keywords. I get a lot of people sending me email messages.
The most common type starts with: Hello, you're missing 300 visitors a day.
The next most common type: Hello, I hope your day is fine. There are some changes we could make to your website to convert more visitors.
They all come from some non-trustworthy email address, something like this:
FirstNameSEO@yahoo or google, no phone number, no website, no anything to check them out.
The first type lose me as soon as they say 300 visitors a day. But even if I could pass that, I can't see myself ever working with someone who's sending me an email out of the blue with nothing to check them out, I just trash.
Occasionally, I get email messages about changing something on one of my sites from someone with
Name
Title
Company
company phone number
Company fax number
Company website
And, the email address is something like JimD@companyName.com.
I instantly assign them way more credibility than I do the others.
That's before I read their message!
