It’s John McIntyre here, the Autoresponder Guy. I’m here with another McMethod video session and in this video, I want to talk to you about email number one. This is one of the most important emails in your Autoresponder sequence. Here’s why: It sets the stage for everything to come. If you screw this up, if you mess this up, the other emails are going to be far less effective. If you said the wrong things or you don’t say the right things, people aren’t going to be opening your emails in the future. They’re not going to see you in the right light. This email number one is your chance to set the frame for everything else to come.
Marketing is again largely about frame control. The person with the strongest frame wins. That’s the topic that we get to talk about in hours and absolute hours. Email number one: Let’s talk about what you should be doing with this email. Here’s what I do. Email number one, first I say, “All right. You’re in. Welcome to the family. It’s great to have you. First thing before we do anything else is I want to talk to you a little bit. I want to ask you three things, two things.” It could be anything. “If you have a minute, hit reply and tell me, number one: What is the biggest, most painful problem you’re going through right now in relation to email marketing, in relation to weight loss, in relation to getting fit.” You get the idea.
Question number two, “Up until now, how hard has it been to get an answer to this problem, to this question?” Question number three is, “How would it make a difference in your life if you had an answer to this today? How would it feel?” What you’re really trying to tap into is you want to understand them, what’s bothering them right now in regards to whatever market you’re in; how hard has it been for them to solve a problem and then what would it look like. You’re going to use these insights and you’re going to build those insights into the rest of your marketing. You’re going to get insights on what products you can create; what emails you can write in the future; what sales copy you need to write to make them buy stuff.
After that, I say, “In these emails, you’ll discover …” So I’m setting a stage for what’s coming up. I’m going to tell them, “All right, you’re going to hear about this, this and this,” and I’m teasing them. Instead of saying, “You’re going to head about AIDA, an old advertising formula,” I’m going to say, “You’re going to hear about an old advertising formula that all the gurus use.” I don’t give away the cake.
