QUESTION: How would you respond to the response received to my MPC marketing emails? Here is an actual response:

Dear Vick,

Thanks but no need at this moment in time.

ANSWER: Happy to share an effective response. First, I would like to remind you that I do not count MPC marketing emails as a marketing presentation because I did not talk to them live.

The response I would send would read:

Hey Vick,

Thanks so much for getting back to me. Let’s connect on LinkedIn. Here is my profile (and give them the link). Is there any background in particular that if I ran across you would really want to hear about? Can you give me a couple bullet points?

When they go to your LinkedIn profile, they are going to see a little bit more about you. Now I am not going to sit there and try to persuade somebody that has no need. I am going to follow up with them in 30 days with another email.

I am not going to sit there and argue with them about why they should need me now. I am going to be very respectful.

That email would read:

Oh, thanks so much for getting back to me. Let’s connect on LinkedIn. Here is my profile. I am out in your space all the time. Is there a couple bullet points of somebody if I ran across them, you would really want to hear about?

Sincerely,

Mike

Thanks, Vick, great question!
