How To Use Email Marketing To Grow Your Consulting Business

February 24, 2020 By Nick Jervis

The start of this article makes it sound as though you have a choice, doesn’t it. ‘How to use email marketing to grow your consulting business‘. Mmm, I might just try that Nick, it sounds interesting. Maybe I will use email marketing, or maybe I won’t. When it comes to selling your consulting services, you have the final say after all, don’t you?

No. Well, yes, but really, no.

You see the simple truth is that when it comes to selling your consulting business services, if you are not using email marketing you will be at a huge disadvantage to consultants who are using email marketing. A huge disadvantage.

The main reason for this is that unless you are a crisis management consultant, stepping in when the proverbial hits the fan to avert a major crisis for a company, most consultancy services are not a ‘distress purchase’.

Take my services as a marketing consultant. Nobody rushes out to the streets shouting ‘Find me a marketing consultant right now, immediately, I need a new client right this minute or it’s curtains for me”.

Or a business continuity consultant. Who wakes up enthused about this very day, right now, setting up a plan to deal with a crisis many months into the future, dashing to their keyboard and frantically typing in ‘business continuity consultant’ into Google, whilst simultaneously picking up the telephone to get the consultant in right now.

I hope I make my point, and sorry to be so brutal in breaking this to you, but I do pride myself on providing ‘no fluff advice to consulting businesses’, so I am being true to myself, and hopefully making a crucial point clear to you. The point is this: your future consultancy clients will take time to decide to make contact with you about your services, often a very long time.

So if you are not using email marketing for your consulting business you are almost certainly missing 80% of your opportunities to win more consulting contracts. Do you really want to throw away that many chances to win new business?

So How Do You Use Email Marketing In Your Consulting Business?

You may be pleased to hear that this is the easy part of the process. Once you are convinced that you must use email marketing to ensure that you sell as much of your consultancy services as you need to to be profitable, using email marketing is relatively straightforward.

Use one of the major providers (I use Aweber), prepare your first free guide which will appeal to your target audience, publicise it on every page of your website in exchange for your prospects email address, and hey presto, you are up and running.

Notice the key part above; you must publicise your free guide on every page of your website. Don’t make the mistake that most consultants make of just putting it on one page and having a link to that page only on the home page or in the navigation. This is a huge mistake when you realise that most people who visit your website to find out more about your consulting services will only ever look at two or three pages.

People are busy; they do not have time to search around your website. They might find your website through a good article you have written and be tempted to find out more, but time is money, so they don’t have time to dig around to find out more about your consulting services. So they leave, unless that is that at the bottom of the article they have just been reading you offer them the chance to receive a free guide, or to find out more about your services, just like you will see at the foot of all of my articles.

If you do this, more likely than not they will add their details, and then you have them. You can now send them an email at least every month, but preferably every week, so that at that point in the future which may be six weeks or six months away, your name is in the front of their mind because you have kept in contact.

Suddenly you are not one of three or four consultants being considered for their business, you are in the race of one of one consultants. That is a far better race to be in than the former.

Now if you are thinking that it will be hard to create the content, it won’t be. Your website needs new content added regularly to provide you with the chance of attracting more clients to your consulting business, so this content can also be used as the content for your email marketing newsletter. Two birds, one stone.

Summary

Email newsletters absolutely haver to be a part of the marketing of your consulting business. Without them you will struggle to create the consultancy business of your dreams.

“Before we started working with Nick, we had no clear idea of our paid traffic strategy.

We knew there were people looking for what we offer, but we just weren’t getting them landing on our website, and when they did, they weren’t converting in the way we wanted them to.

That’s when we enlisted Nick’s help, and it’s made a profound difference both to the number of leads coming into the business, but the quality too.

He’s helped us bring in several very high-quality leads, which will be worth many hundreds of thousands of pounds, as well as helping our website become better and more conversion-focused too.

I couldn’t recommend Nick more highly – if you’re looking for more leads and more sales, it’s a no-brainer to have a conversation.

Elliott Myatt, Play Area Hygiene Services, Kingsbridge.

“I run an HR business dealing with the nasty bits of HR (disciplinaries, grievances, terminations, etc). I have been working with Nick for 12 months now and it has really changed the quality of leads I am getting. My website is now attracting the right type of clients and brings in a lot more quality, and easy to convert, leads. Nick is clear in what the marketing priorities are to get me the results I want. Very easy to work with and cuts to the heart of the matter – no excuses!”

Carolyne Wahlen, GAP HR Services, Goring

“After working with Nick on our Google My Business strategy we are now ranking in the “Google 3 pack” and generating leads purely from our ranking!Nick also carried out a fee review resulting in a fee increase of 40% and no detrimental effect to volume. Double whammy with increased leads and increased income. Well worth taking the time to talk to Nick and definitely worth working with him going forward, it’s a no brainer!”

David Aggiss, Three Sixty Mortgages, Plymouth.

“Nick’s advice and guidance has been excellent. He cuts through all the noise and brings clarity. His focus is on what is effective and what will achieve the objective. He knows what works and what doesn’t and shows you the best way to approach a strategy.

One particular aspect of marketing was hard to get my head around but Nick made everything so clear and easy to understand. When you speak to him you will see, he knows his stuff!

Thanks Nick.”

Shan Phoenix, Geneva Wealth, Harpenden

Before meeting Nick, I was wasting money with Google, I had a high price per click and a trickle of leads. Now, having worked with Nick for 3 months my Google business page is optimised, my price per click is greatly reduced, customers are finding me and quality leads are flowing! Which means, my Google Ads spend is now profitable with a 3:1 return!

That is why I would strongly recommend working with Nick if you want consistent leads and a greater return on your investment – thanks Nick”.

Richard Linden, The Rent Guarantee Company, Harlow.

“Through Nick’s advice and on going encouragement I have almost doubled my client base and am now looking to take on members of staff to deal with the increase in demand for my services. My success has been in no small way facilitated by my business coaching with Nick. I would, and I do, recommend him to anyone who wants to grow their business.”

Ben Winter, Bristol Wellness Personal Training, Bristol.

“I’m new to google Ads, Nick is managing my ad campaigns and doing a great job, I’m receiving a steady flow of leads with a low cost per click meaning my marketing is paying for itself. Would recommend.”

Wendy Clarke

“Nick’s professional advice, expert knowledge and constant encouragement have proved invaluable this past year. He has helped my business from the outset, offering me support and guidance every step of the way. His services come highly recommended.”

Charlotte Laken – Copywriter

“Nick is an excellent marketing consultant. His knowledge of Google PPC is unparalled. Well worth a chat.Every time I use him my results improve and I make money. Do the sensible thing and pick up the phone to him as you won’t regret it.”

Phil O’Connor, Whitewell Financial Planning, Bolton.
