Win new clients, make more money from existing clients, and become a more effective persuader with The Freelance Copywriting Swiss Army Knife Pack
My name is Jon Buchan. I used to run digital marketing agency and about a year in, my word of mouth leads dried up.
I was desperate for sales and I dealt with that in the only way us Brits know how... I got blind drunk.
... In that time, I decided to write the most absurd cold email I could.
I was still tipsy enough in the morning to think it was a good idea to send my email to Marketing Directors, CEOs and other senior people at some of the world's largest brands and corporations.
To my amazement, it worked.
Take a look at these screenshots.
These are the result of a my desperate, drunk cold email.
There's more where that came from. I've saved them all. This might show my insecurity somewhat!
I’ve met with senior decision makers at RedBull, Pepsi, Symantec, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, HSBC, Barclays, and countless other global brands, exciting start-ups and SMEs.
It turns out B2B doesn't have to mean Boring-2-Boring!
Take a look...
I’ve used this same style to get senior editors at large publications such as Yahoo Business, Entrepreneur.com, Inc.com, Channel4 News, The Independent, Time Magazine, and many more to respond to me and publish my clients' content.
The screenshot below is from the former editor of Venture Beat, Dylan Tweeney.
This tech publication gets millions of visitors per month.
I needed to get my biggest client, Symantec, some PR coverage.
We would have lost them as a client otherwise.
I went into work on a Saturday morning and sent Dylan an email.
It worked.
We got the coverage we needed.
A few years later, I was messaging Dylan on Skype and he sent me this message.
He remembered my pitch - even after 4 years!
I've used it to invite myself onto podcasts such as Kevin Rogers' "The Truth About Marketing" podcast.
I've used it to get people to my clients' events and seminars.
I’ve used it to help my friends get as many job interviews as they need.
Back in March last year, I started my Facebook Group, Charm Offensive, and started showing people my weird way of generating opportunities whenever I wanted.
Here's a few more screenshots for you.
This time let's show some results from people who took my advice...

The 5 Stages of Grief Follow-Up Sequence
A Smile-Inducing Follow-Up Sequence That Maximises Your Cold Pitch Response Rates
When sending cold pitches, it's wise to send follow-up emails to prospects who've haven't replied to your cold pitch.
Even with my charming, humorous cold pitch style, some folks won't reply to the initial email. For instance, they might have enjoyed your email but got distracted. If you don't send follow-up emails, you're leaving money on the table.
However, many people send awful follow-up emails. They sound entitled and impatient, rendering them ineffective.
My 5 Stages Of Grief Follow-Up Sequence is different. It humorously informs the prospect that their lack of reply has pushed them into the 5 Stages Of Grief, with each subsequent email detailing which stage you're currently at.
By deploying this proven-effective sequence, you're cold pitch campaigns will generate a far greater number of positive responses from your prospects.
