Staying in Touch

Hey Reader,

You probably already know how important it is to keep communication with past clients and leads. If you're like me, you probably have struggled a bit with finding the balance between doing so often enough that they remember you for work, and not overdoing it.

I think there is a balance there, and admittedly in the past I think I've leaned too heavily into my fear of becoming annoying. You probably can relate. I used to only reach out once or twice a year. Now, I do so every 2-3 months.

Honestly, if you are marketing to the right people, and doing so clearly, effectively, and efficiently - it's really not going to be that annoying to pop into their inbox every 2-3 months. And people are busy, so it's important to stay top of mind.

I don't think there is a magic number, but if you are struggling with finding this balance, try setting some calendar reminders for every 2-3 months and adjust as you see fit based on the responses/feedback you get - such as unsubscribes or actual replies from the contacts you reach out to.

VO Pro Tip: Find the "Why" in the Script

Voice-Over Pro Tip What's the "Why?" Hey Reader, Ever feel like you're just reading the words on the page? Sometimes, even with perfect technique, a performance can fall a little flat if it's missing a crucial element: the "why." What do I mean by the "why"? It's the underlying motivation, intention, and emotional core driving the lines you're speaking.
