“Targeting” doesn't mean what it used to in the marketing world - the days of targeting different ages etc are GONE - algorithms do that now.
“Targeting” means crafting messages that resonate with your customer.

Marketing 101: building a personal brand
- what does personal brand mean
- why should you care
- how to distinguish it against the company you work for
- how to do it w/ support from your boss
- how to build yours
A thread 🧵
Personal brand has a negative stigma in some circles.
Personal brand does NOT mean you are a self centered narcissist.
Personal branding is intentional use of your time, voice, channel and platforms.
Why intentionality is important:
How you invest your time = How you will spend your life
Social media can become passive and addicting without true meaning and intention.
Don’t waste your life reading other people’s highlight reel, make your own.
Being a creator > being a consumer
How can you be intentional?
Similar to building a brand strategy: know what you stand for as a person
What lights you up? (Your mission)
What value do you want to bring to the table? (Value props)
How do you deliver it? (Voice and tone)

How to destroy your competition with Cold Email
Want numbers like this?
I am going to show you exactly how to GUARANTEE your cold emails will convert.
// THREAD //
First, I am going to show you the structure of a killer cold email.
---
{{Quick Question about Company_Name}} <-- Subject line
Hey {{Name}}, [[first line}} <-- individual personalization is key
We just helped ___, a business like yours, do x in y days <-- Case study
I'm 100% certain we can do something similar for you.
Do you have time for a call this week? <-- CTA
--------
Let's break this down.
Our main goal is to not sound automated. (even though it was in a way)
How do we do that?
Highly Personalized First Lines.
We have their:
- Company Name
- First Name
- LinkedIn Profile
I use https://t.co/cotgiyqqLE to scrape this. (not aff)
The better the first line, the better the cold email will convert.
We need 10/10 first lines.
A good offer + a bad first line = 60% open & 8% reply rate
A good offer + a 10/10 first line = 80% open & 20% reply rate
Run the numbers.
