Are these emails too simple (writen follow-ups - bad or good?)

Mar 23 (edited) • Opening Convos & Coffee Dates

Nowadays I do a bit of research on someone, then keep a few of the email sentences the same.

My style is going for a quick yes or no.

Sometimes, if I see an opening, I’ll ask something like: “Hey, saw you’re dealing with a lot of critique. Can imagine it’s hard to defend your methodology in the comments, has it gotten easier over the years!?”

But most of the time, I keep it simple and go with this:

Message 1: Hey Alan,

Like the unique training videos on Instagram. Indeed not repetitive.

Also noticed you're pushing a 6 Week FUNCTIONAL SHRED CHALLENGE.

I got a cool way to let more people participate in your 6 week challenge.

Can I share what I had mind?

Message 2:

Alan,

Know you're busy and getting many messages like these.

If we decided to do this, I'd focus on bringing people clicked "Get Started" and left their email on the 6 week challenge back in without upfront cost to you or you needing to lift a finger.

Not promising this would work, but pretty sure it can.

What do you think?

- Matt

Message 3:

Usually it’s done by sending five simple, 6th-grade-level emails and a Google Doc.

We’d start with a small test first. Everything written in your voice.

Then I’d only follow up 1–1 with the people who responded to one of the five emails—working through the list after we test a small portion and clearly see there’s interest.

Worth testing, you think?

– Matt

Message 4: dumb idea?

Message 5: Happy to park here if it's not useful

Message 6: If bringing people to the finish line who were interested but didn't buy ever becomes of interest, I'm around.

Rooting for you eitherway,

-Matt

Any suggestions, or does this look pretty decent?

Open for hearing feedback.
