Grow Your Pipeline with Non Permission Based Email Marketing

When your pipeline of B2B leads runs dry, you need a disruption. You need to deploy a marketing campaign that will turn the tides of lead generation back in your favor. Unfortunately, inbound marketing isn’t always an ideal solution.

We all know that inbound marketing works, but it relies on your audience to take action. This makes it hard to accelerate quickly because it takes time.

Now, imagine you had a way to push a steady stream of leads into the funnel at will, by supplementing your inbound strategy with an outbound non permission based email campaign?

I know what you’re thinking, “how could sending email messages to contacts that have not granted me permission to send to them be effective?”

In this post, we’ll explain how B2B marketing and sales teams make non permission based email marketing work for their business, and the right way to go about it.

Non Permission Based Email Marketing

Non permission based email marketing puts you in front of an audience you may not have reached otherwise. Instead of waiting on potential leads to find you, you can reach out to cold and purchased contacts and start the conversation. This can speed up the lead generation process and keeps your pipeline flowing consistently.

But is it really possible to send relevant emails without opt-in? The truth is, sending valuable business solutions to a relevant industry-related list of contacts isn’t spam. In fact, some marketers look forward to receiving these unsolicited emails to study and learn from best practices in outbound email execution.

On top of being relevant and valuable to the user, non permission based email marketing must be carefully delivered. The unsolicited nature of a cold email campaign creates many challenges for marketers that are used to opt-in campaigns.

For example, if you try to send an email campaign to a large list of cold contacts using a traditional email service provider, you’ll like get your IP blacklisted quickly. That’s why Clickback MAIL lets you send your non permission based email campaigns using their IP’s so your business’ sender reputation remains untouched.

“Email lead generation has been a game-changer for me. I spend less time chasing prospects and more time closing sales.”

– Andy Schattman, CDI Group

Offer relevant value to your audience

As a few of the marketers stated in the discussion above, overly aggressive outbound email campaigns are likely to earn spam complaints. Nobody likes a pushy salesman going in for the kill on introduction, especially when they’re showing up at your door uninvited. Think of outbound email the same way. You need to prove to your audience that you have something that will deliver immediate value to their company.

A B2B audience is smart, resourceful and most importantly, busy. Don’t waste their valuable time with a pushy email asking for a favor when they don’t even know who you are! It amazes us how many B2B marketers expect results from such an uninspired effort.

Instead, use this opportunity to offer up valuable information that will lay the foundation for a long-lasting digital relationship. Share helpful industry-related resources and show your cold contacts you not only know what you’re talking about but have something to offer.

The truth about sending cold emails

A poor product or service will never succeed using outbound email. Even the most brilliant and captivating copywriting cannot overcome a lack of business value. If your email campaigns are getting delivered (and opened) without converting, it’s time to look at the offer itself.

However, if you’ve got a winning business product or service to offer, cold email marketing can be an incredible way to scale. The lead generation power and affordability of email marketing is truly remarkable, and thousands of business’ have realized this potential.

The point is – if what you are offering is a tough sell to begin with, don’t count on an email campaign to a purchased list to bail you out. There are enough challenges with this type of marketing even with a great offer, so focus on refining the true value your business provides first.
