It's safe to say that Dan and Ian get a lot of pitches in their inbox.

They come in a variety of forms, but the people that send these pitches often follow the same archetypes. In general, there is a whole lot of asking going on.

On today's episode, Dan and Ian will be following up on their recent sales episode and providing some useful, actionable information on how you can pitch people successfully through cold emails.

First, they will be sharing some examples of successful pitches, as well as the types they dread receiving.

They will also be outlining a three-step formula to creating winning pitches that won't end up being archived or deleted.

  • Why it's important to be straightforward about what you are asking for. (5:30)

  • The dangers of over promoting yourself or being to casual in your pitch. (15:29)
