I compiled the best-in-class scripts that:

Now they’re all yours.

Long story short, I made The Ultimate Email Playbook (with Scripts) because

is a dead-simple bucket o’ templates you can use to convert more of your emails into conversations, purchases, and closes…

… By activating your unresponsive, ice-cold email list of contacts into replies, demos, and meetings.

I’ve built an email swipe vault from the top psychological email marketers in the world.

(I’ve been collecting and studying these emails since 2008, yes I’m weird.)

But no one’s perfect.

So I went the extra mile and made these emails just a little more irresistible, the way the email marketers who created them would have done — if they’d had a second chance.

I put all of these swipes together in a handy, 100% copyable file for your 

downloading pleasure.

You literally just copy and paste (~5 sec, 10 if you’re a slow clicker?), and boom. 

Your psychological email marketing for the week / month / life = done.

When I first started “email marketing,” I sent over 100 messages with exactly 0% response rate.

What’s worse, these were emails of my resume — I was trying to get my first job out of college.

I thought, “Hey I went to a good school (Stanford), and when they see that name on my email, they’ll have to reply to me!”

Wrong.

I was missing the most basic, and most important, rule email marketing.

The one rule that 98 out of the 100+ startups I’ve worked with in the past 7 years have gotten wrong…

…as a result leaving money on the table, 

and paying through the nose for lead acquisition via channels like Facebook and Google, where ROI is a variable yet cost is a constant.

Two of the businesses I worked with directly got it right 

(maybe thanks in part to little ole me 🙂

I sent hundreds of successful, revenue-generating emails out to a list of 700,000 subscribers at AppSumo, and sold millions of dollars of products through the email list at Ramit Sethi’s business, I Will Teach You To Be Rich.

In short, we printed money from our email lists.

The email marketing formulas you’re about to unlock are taken from those experiences, and come from thousands of tests and optimizations painstakingly run by the top email marketers in the world…

PS — This is NOT templates of blast-y, glossy email newsletters run by big brands with huge lists and a lot of complementary marketing spend to burn.

These are psychological emails specifically designed to convince and convert — new leads, dormant customers, and even investors…

I’m on the Growth Marketing team at 500 Startups, the most active seed stage VC firm in the world.

I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the best online marketers in the world, and now I pay it forward by helping early stage startups level up their growth through email (among other things :).
