39. Automate Your Outreach
Focus on when your message is received, not sent.
Schedule emails to be received, for example, on Sunday mornings or late afternoons.
Use quiet time:
To store your emails in a delivery queue, and…
To be read during the recipient’s quiet time.

40. Automate Your Outreach
1. In the message, on the Options tab, in the More Options group, click Delay Delivery.
2. Click Message Options.
3. Under Delivery options, select the Do not deliver before check box, and then click
the delivery date and time that you want.
4. After you click Send, the message remains in the Outbox folder until delivery time.

43. Use three.sentenc.es
Include a question mark in every email.
Think tweets & texts. Get to the essential point.
Include hyperlinks & postscripts.
It’ll likely be read from a mobile phone.

44. Have Intel PUSHED to You
How much time are you wasting,
with 8+ browser windows open,
trying to spot a relevant piece of
information?

45. Have Intel PUSHED to You
Consolidate the
searches.
Let technology
gather the intel.
Engage the right
people at the right
time with the right
message.
Follow Companies
& People, & get
emailed when
something
happens.

47. Send Pre-Emptive Emails
Be brief & to the point (think mobile).
Give them a window of time (4-5pm).
Evoke a response (“Unless you
suggest…”).
Say why you’re calling.
Set expectations for a brief call.

49. Make Rapid-Fire Calls
Create high-valued, high-volume target lists.
Have the same opening line by including the same title, or same event, or same city.
Follow-up on all overdue tasks.
Increase productivity, have more conversations per hour, and track it all!
