Here’s the Roadmap…

Step 1. Email Marketing Platform

www.RecruitmentCoach.com

Why You Need an Email Marketing Platform

• Please do NOT try to...• Send email broadcasts from your own server

• Send email broadcasts from Outlook or your CRM software (fine for small mail merges)

• There are Email Marketing Solutions that do it for you – and it’s relatively cheap

www.RecruitmentCoach.com

3 Key Factors to Consider When Choosing

1. Deliverability• How do they ensure that your email is delivered and avoid the spam filters,

junk folders, blacklists

2. Functionality• Do they have the features you need?

3. Cost• Does the price fit within budget?

www.RecruitmentCoach.com

Practical Considerations

• Email marketing platforms maximize their deliverability rate by avoiding spam blacklists

• That means the best platforms require confirmed opt-in

• The challenge is that makes it very difficult to upload your existing mailing list

Which Provider?

• Aweber

• Campaign Monitor

• Constant Contact

• Getresponse

• Hubspot

• iContact

• Infusionsoft

• Mailchimp

• Streamsend

Choose Carefully!

• Invest the time up front to select the email marketing solution that best fits your needs

• Cheapest is not necessarily the best – neither is most expensive

• Once you start building your list on one platform, it’s difficult to migrate the data later!

Step 2. Lead Magnet

• Choosing the right topic is essential

• Lead Magnet must help your prospects to solve an important problem, achieve a desired outcome, or BOTH

• Fastest, easiest way to find out is to send an email survey to all your clients and contacts

Here’s the Roadmap…

“Two Placements Totaling $78,250 Were the Result of Mark’s Advice”

I have had some pretty amazing success from the new marketing program. The last two placements totaling $78,250 in fees were done strictly with email marketing and no prior relationship with the candidate or the companies.

Mark Whitby has transformed our firm from outbound calls to inbound warm calls and inbound warm emails replies from decision makers that want to talk with us. I hired Mark after the virtual summit last year and it was the smartest money that I spent. Those two placements were the result of his advice with many more placements on the way.

He taught us how to create the "expert in your industry" presence through social media marketing from the inside out. We rebuilt our website with his strategies and then worked our way out to mass email marketing three times per month with a blog and other targeted emailing to decision makers and MPC's.

If you haven't worked directly with Mark I encourage you to book him! It was the best money I have spent. I am continuing to work with him because the new process we developed has only scratched the surface and there is much more ground to be covered.
