S01 E12: Ryan Farrell - Sending Open-Worthy Emails

Pushing Send

Sending out mass emails feels impersonal more often than not, yet doing them manually is not viable either. What is the solution to combatting the inherently cold nature of the marketing funnel? According to today’s guest, Ryan Farrell, it’s through providing quality content that people can always take something away from. As the Marketing Director of the world’s number one LinkedIn marketing company, LinkedSelling, Ryan has seen how email has been used extensively to grow and sustain a multi-seven figure dollar business. In this episode, Ryan sheds light on the evolution of LinkedSelling’s email list. For them, it has always been about more than a sales opportunity; it’s also a chance to foster meaningful connections. LinkedSelling moves past the conventional sales-driven email approach, and we hear about some of the strategies that have used to implement their unconventional model. Along with this, Ryan also discusses Connect 365, LinkedSelling’s software offering, and their warm email concept — a warmer way of sending cold emails. This was a great way to wrap up season one of Pushing Send. Be sure to tune in today!
