Find all the people who enquired in January, February, during lockdown, or even at the back-end of last year. Then send them what we call ‘the three line email’.
It goes:
Hi [their name], are you still looking for a (whatever it is that you do)?
If so, I’d love to help…
[your name]
There’s nothing more to it than that.
It’s not salesy. It’s not pushy. But these 3 simple lines generate really good responses!
You could send it out to people this afternoon, and within a matter of hours you’ll have some of them wanting to talk to you.
Of course, whether you email people or not is up to you.
But then, that’s true for almost everything in life, and it’s certainly the case for planning your recovery from lockdown.
So accept responsibility, get stuff done, and never forget that what happens next will be all your fault.
Good luck!
