BONUS: The Closing the Loop Technique
As an extra for you, I
want to show you a fantastic system to help you:
·
Transform one-time
meetings into long-term relationships
·
Showcase your value to
anyone
This goes beyond your
typical follow-up “thanks for your time” email — and answers the question, “How
do I make the person I just met want to help me?”
Email #1: Thank you (same day)
A few things to note:
First, the thank you is simple. No need to spill more ink than you need to.
It also references a specific action item you’re going to follow up on. This shows
the person you’re emailing that you were paying attention during the interview.
The email ends with a
solid offer from you to help in any way you can — while asking nothing of the
recipient.
Email #2: Add value (1 – 2 weeks later)
Now we start to shake
things up. The person you’re emailing
likely wasn’t expecting to ever hear back from you again. They especially
weren’t expecting you to send something of value to them.
Email #3: Close the loop (2 – 3 weeks later)
Now is when you
separate yourself from 99.999% of people by showing the person you’re emailing
that you actually took action on what they suggested.
If you give specific
names of people and companies, that’ll show you were listening. It’ll also show
the person you’re emailing
that they were right — which is a major psychological boost for them.
