7 Reasons Your Pitches Get Ignored
How to fix it đ
If youâre struggling to get clients itâs either becauseâŚ
âYour clients donât know you exist
âYour work isnât good enough yet or
âYou donât know how to sell
And if you have decent content and are pitching consistently but still struggle to land clients then you gotta have a better sales process.
So heres 7ď¸âŁ reasons your pitches get ignoredđ
1ď¸âŁ Confusing
If you are making vague statements like âget more reachâ or grow your businessâ thatâs confusing for a client and confusion doesnât lead to action.
It is worth noting that you DO want to create curiosity which is different than confusion.
2ď¸âŁ Self centered
If all you talk about is you, your accomplishments and what you want, guess what? Your prospect doesnât care.
Why?
Because they care about themselves. So keep your pitch about them.
3ď¸âŁ Low quality
If you donât have a killer portfolio, testimonials, and case studies then you canât blame brands for ignoring you. You arenât an expert.
Get better, get results, then try pitching again.
4ď¸âŁ Long
I usually say thereâs no such thing as too long, just too boring, BUTâŚ
When it comes to pitches I think shorter is better. If they donât know who you are you canât expect them to read a novel so keep it under 2-3 paragraphs of 2-3 sentences each.
5ď¸âŁ Irrelevant
If you are pitching things a brand doesnât need then you will get ignored. Do some research, find a pain point and your pitch becomes your plan to solve that pain with content.
6ď¸âŁ Not valuable
If your pitch basically is about whatâs in it for you and you donât lead with value thatâs a great way to get marked as spam.
Provide some upfront value. Build trust. Then pitch a paid service.
7ď¸âŁ Boring
If you have done all of the 6 previous things, chances are your pitch is a real snooze fest destined for the trash can.
