FREE MARKETING STRATEGY: “Cold to Warm”

In today's fast-paced business world, the key to growth lies in acquiring qualified appointments and building relationships with potential clients. One of the most effective ways to do this is by turning cold leads into warm leads.

This is exactly what the "Cold to Warm" marketing strategy does. If you’re looking to grow your business and boost your appointment booking efforts, you’ve come to the right place.

In this article, we’ll dive into the "Cold to Warm" strategy, a powerful method that combines different outbound channels to maximize your appointments and business growth.

Keep reading to learn the details of each step and how this strategy has already produced impressive results for companies like Novus Victoria Oy, Votech Oy, and Leadsify Oy.

What is the "Cold to Warm" Strategy?

The “Cold to Warm” strategy is designed for one simple purpose: to get as many qualified appointments as possible by leveraging multiple marketing channels. This strategy utilizes cold emails, ads, and cold calls, all while helping you:

• Reach a broader audience

• Book more qualified appointments

• Increase brand awareness

• Build trust and credibility

• And much more

By combining these outbound channels, you ensure that your growth continues, even if one channel experiences a dip. The diversified approach ensures that your appointment-booking efforts stay strong no matter what happens.

Step 1: Cold Email - The Foundation of Success

The journey to turning cold leads into warm ones begins with cold emails. Cold emails are often the easiest and most cost-effective way to start generating appointments. Here’s why cold emails are the starting point for the “Cold to Warm” strategy:

• Low cost: You don’t need a large budget to start sending cold emails.

• Scalability: It’s easy to scale up cold email campaigns once you have a working process in place.

• Time efficiency: Compared to cold calling, cold emails take up less of your time while offering high potential for results.

Although building an effective cold email system takes time, especially when finding the right messaging, the results are well worth the effort. For me, it took 12 months of full-time work to crack the code, but once you do, the opportunities are endless.

Pro Tip: Start by optimizing your email messaging, testing different approaches, and expanding your lead pool. It’s a process, but it’s highly rewarding when you crack the winning formula.

Step 2: Ads - Turning Your Old Leads to Gold

Once you have your cold email system set up, the next step is to utilize ads. Ads can help increase the number of appointments you’re booking, and here’s how:

When you are trying to find the "winning angle" in your cold email, you will contact thousands of leads with the wrong messaging. Once you find a message that works, you can create ad based on that message and show it to the leads you contacted with the wrong messaging.

This strategy allows you to re-engage leads who may not have been interested the first time but are now more likely to respond to an updated, more compelling message.

BONUS TIP: You can also create ads targeting new potential leads with a winning angle. Some effective ad formats include:

• Offering a lead magnet

• Sharing a 2-5 minute video about your service

• Providing an exclusive offer (such as a free consultation)

The power of ads is that they keep your message in front of leads, reinforcing your offer and nurturing potential customers who might be hesitant at first.

Step 3: Cold Call - Leads into Qualified Appointments

Now that you’ve warmed up your leads with cold emails and ads, it’s time for the most resource-intensive step: cold calling. Cold calling is an art and requires the most time and effort, but it’s undeniably effective when you’re targeting warm leads.

Why is cold calling essential? It’s the best way to convert leads into qualified appointments. When you’ve already warmed up leads through email or ads, they are far more receptive to a call because they recognize your company and understand your offer.

Here are some benefits of cold-calling warm leads:

• Recognition: They are more likely to remember your company and respond positively.

• Trust: Building trust becomes easier because they’ve already seen your message.

• Time-saving: You’ll qualify leads faster, saving you time by focusing on the right prospects.

For example, if someone downloaded a lead magnet from your site or scheduled a consultation through an ad, they’ve already shown interest in your services. A well-timed follow-up call will help you qualify them and secure an appointment.

Step 4: Conclusion - Aaaand action!

Now that you understand how the "Cold to Warm" strategy works, it’s time to put it into action!

By combining cold email, ads, and cold calling, you can turn cold leads into warm, qualified appointments that will drive your business forward.

This approach has already helped companies like Novus Victoria Oy, Votech Oy, and Leadsify Oy achieve impressive results. Novus Victoria Oy, for instance, booked 250+ appointments in just six months. Meanwhile, Votech Oy generated €138,000 in sales opportunities in just three months, thanks to the power of this strategy.
