Please Critique My Follow Up Letter

[Golddoor]

I have been emailing out this letter to potential clients and started using this "Bradley Hand" lettering style. Could you guys critique the wording and what do you think about using this style of lettering?


RE: YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE

Mr. Smith,

I hope things are going well for you and your family? I have been trying to reach you by phone regarding your health insurance, with no success. I was hoping to have the opportunity to speak with you, regarding the quote's that were forwarded to you earlier this month. I would love to come meet with you and/or your family at your home or business, for a few short minute's, to further discuss your option's. I'm available for appointment's 8am-9pm, Monday- Friday and some weekend's. Please let me know what would be a good time for us to arrange a short meeting? I have re-attached your Aetna quote's and pasted the Unicare quotes to the lower portion of this email for your convenience.

Happy Holidays!!

OK, here ya go (you asked for it).

You come from a position of weakness. You are apologetically begging! Meet for a few minutes at your home or office from 8AM-9PM? And some weekends?

Good god man. If you don't respect yourself as a professional that brings value to your client...they certainly won't!

If they're not answering your calls, there's a reason why.

QUALIFY them upfront. Then re-qualify 'em.Quit chasing around non-qualified tire kickers. Get busy enough so you haven't got the time to deal with them.

I didn't have a lot of time to work on it, but here's a quick suggestion:





I hope things are going well for you and your family. I have not been able to contact you by phone regarding your health insurance.

It may be mutually beneficial for us to have the opportunity to meet, regarding the health insurance quotes. Normally, my schedule is very flexible.

I have re-attached your Aetna quotes and placed the Unicare quotes at the lower portion of this email for your convenience.
Happy Holidays!

you lost me on the font......some of my longest clients that I have on the books I had to follow up many time....(or you can do the turn and burn but those have a high drop off rate if you sign them with a slam like some advisers suggest)....if you quoted them rates that come up in the email when they open it ....keep resending it and keep putting the rates in their face....that is if you got a good vibe when you talked to them the first time and thought you had the application.....

Hard to read? Hmmmm

I do send out letters by regular mail if no email address is available!

Dude,Thats why I send this by email. Im not chasing tire kickers. These are leads that I fowarded quotes to and ask me to follow up and I have
not been able to contact them. Simple as that!!

Dont respect myself as a professional? Where did you come up with that?

Dude, you asked...I answered.

Dude, wake up. The fact that you are sending them an email/letter/whatever because they won't answer the phone...makes them a tire-kicker!

TIP: Before you send a quote, get a COMITTMENT as to when and how you will follow-up - then you'll avoid chasing your tail with weak-ass letters/emails like this.

If you're smart, instead of sending a quote, you'll spend more time finding out WHY they want a quote. You'll send less quotes...and write more business.

Of course if you want to continue to think its the FONT that's important...

 

[2112Greg]

IMO, the fewer sentences that begin with "I", the better. Clients, or potential clients, don't care about you...what they want is to know what you do for THEM. Use words like 'hopefully' and 'possibly' - focus more on them, not yourself.

Additionally, that font was a bitch to read. And there are a number of incorrect uses of the apostrophe. Plurals are not possessives and don't require an apostrophe. Somewhat common mistake, but it's sloppy.

Im not sure if I should take this as critiquing or insulting me personally? Lets hope it not the latter!!

Take it however you want. I call 'em as I see 'em (based on many years of experience).

You're the one that asked.
