Selling to end-users

[Kenstein]

Hey all, been MIA for a long time, but decided to take more action on domaining this time around--and this time, I'd like to target end-users.

Just wanted to know what is your success rate with selling to end-users? Like, do you get 1 sale out of every 100 of so cold emails?

I know it would be best to warm these businesses up first, but I don't know how, short of first becoming their customer. I tried to be really friendly in my emails though...as opposed to really plain and technical.

Would so very much appreciate your advice on this!

Probably more like 1 in 1,000 for email unless you have a killer SUBJECT line and a killer call-to-action and a very well targeted list. Direct Mail with a well targeted list and well designed campaign is like 1% response, more or less.

Could you outsource cold calling? Your telemarketer would have to know how to find and target leads, unless you can provide lists.

What is your marketing and sales budget?
