1) I don’t know you very well.
2) You don’t know me very well.
3) I don’t know how I can help you.
4) You might not know how you can help me.
Sure, maybe that’s an exaggeration. You could get my emails because we met once (or have maybe been friends for years). Or maybe I’ve never met you. And that’s really a shame. I love meeting people!Connecting communities of people together is one of my strengths and I totally embarrass the crap out of my husband by talking to strangers pretty much everywhere we go.
But that’s not what I’m talking about here. Do you know that of my gazillion (yep, I counted) posts with direct-to-you questions only 3 have ever elicited a response? Three. As in, not a lot.
So I don’t really know you or how I can help you. And in that same gazillion posts I’ve given you a lot of advice and tips for your life and biz, but I haven’t really shared much of myself with you. So you don’t really know me or how you can help me.
Let’s fix that, shall we?
Hi, Val! I’m ____________________, _____________ of ________________. I adore helping people ___________________. The biggest thing that keeps me up at night that I really want to solve is _________________________________.
I’ll start:
Hey, you! I’m Val, lover of yoga and chocolate. I adore helping people get out from under that pile of business tasks and spend more time in their sweet spot. The biggest thing that keeps me up at night that I really want to solve is how I can reach and serve more people all at once!
There, not so hard! So that solves problems 1 & 3. Now for 2 and 4:
11 Things I Guarantee You Don’t Know About Me
1) I once had my entire bedroom decorated with NSYNC evvvvverything.
2) Every time I play craps, I win.
3) I learned the rules of football by playing video games.
4) If I could have any other career, I’d own a dude ranch.
5) I never once had an imaginary friend.
6) Buying one way plane tickets makes me nervous. I love home and want to know when I’ll return.
7) I can quote the entire movie of Zoolander. It’s my happy place.
8) I once rode in a 4 person taxi with 6 other people thru Times Square on New Year’s Eve.
9) I have a collection of Russian Nesting Dolls.
10) Wii Fit games make me highly competitive. Bring on the hula hoop!
11) If I could have dinner with any celebrity, it would be Cher. She fascinates me.
And, to wrap it up, how can you help me?
Hire me:
- to help you complete your to-do list, daily
- to get clear on how you can implement systems all by yourself
- to plan your events
Refer me:
- tell your community how much value you get from these weekly messages – send them to my list
- share what I do with other pros you know who could use my help
So that’s it. Oh, and I have a little program coming up on How to Find Your Tribe. If you interested in learning more about that, let me know and I’ll send you the details as soon as it’s ready.
I can’t wait to hear back from you!
