A client called looking for a facilitator and what he needs isn’t in my wheelhouse. I offered to tap into my speaker network to find the right fit for him.
Here is the message I sent:
A client is looking for a facilitator who will help a very new executive team build trust quickly. There has been bad blood among some on the team and he is looking for a jump start to building trust.
What I learned is that people really don’t know how to prospect or sell!
Here is a sampling of email sales “strategy”:
Sue,
I have an entire chapter devoted to how to build trust and I conduct strategic retreats. My next book is based on my X.
Let me know if I can help!
Hi Sue
I can help a team build trust through communication, empathy and rapport building exercises.
I am training today and tomorrow.
I have time this evening and tomorrow evening or Thursday.
Let me know what works for you.
Best
Sue,
That is something I’ve done with other organizations.
I saw that someone suggested Name. I believe she’d be a great fit, but I’m pretty certain I’m in a different price range than her.
Hi Sue,
I can help with the executive team solution your client is looking for.
Do you have time for a quick chat or ZOOM call for you and I to get acquainted?
Here’s a link to my calendar to find a time that works for you.
Sincerely
Hi Sue-
Hope all is well with you and your boys*. Saw your post. I can do this. I have a background in…
<*I have one son but no idea who the boys are.>
A warm lead… ruined.
