Breaking Up an Outreach Message Sequence

Converting message sequences are those sequences designed to enlighten your leads and leave a good aftertaste more than selling itself. If you treat your messages like something funny, light, inspiring — your job will very quickly turn into fun endeavor rather then something burdening.

Pay a special attention to how you break up your sequence. It’s very important to let your leads know that you’re ok with their rejection. In this matter, a break-up message is what can make it or break it in the future. 

Letting people know that you’re ok with them saying “No” can be that very thing that tips the scale. Just tell them that you understand that they might be busy and that it’s totally ok. The trick is to articulate this in the last message of your sequence. If you just think to yourself that you’re ok — it’s not enough, you have to include this in your break-up message.

After telling that you’re fine with whatever they decide, you can leave links to your website, content or anything of a value.

Consider adding lines like this:

#1  

Hey {first_name},

In the end of your message sequence there is always a room for a link to:

  • your blog;
  • your PDF guides;
  • your FB community;
  • your event on Youtube;
  • your event on LinkedIn.
