Some owners and sales leaders feel that blasting a "one-size-fits-all" newsletter to everyone in their e-mail database once or twice a month is “marketing” their business. And if you do too, you are losing tons of sales leads AND referrals.
Here’s why…
85% To 90% Of Your Prospects (And Referral Partners) Are NOT Reading Your Newsletter:
That’s right; a massive 85% to 90% of your prospects and referral partners are NOT reading your newsletter. And those that do:
- Spend 10 - 15 seconds skimming your newsletter.
- ONLY 2% will click on your “read more” link.
- Apple's new "Mail Privacy" policy and other anti-virus software programs are giving you false positive open and click-through rates.
Think about this, 85% - 90% of your NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES and REFERRAL PARTNERS are not reading your newsletter. So let me ask you; "Is this acceptable to you?" If it isn't, call me ASAP!
