Has this ever happened to you? A new client contacts you looking for a designer. Their project sounds fun, and you seem to hit it off well with them. They verbally agree to your terms, and since everything sounds encouraging, you send them a formal proposal. And you wait in anticipation for them to approve your proposal and give you the go-ahead to get started on their project. And then you wait and wait, but you don't hear back. You send follow-up emails but don't receive any replies. The client has ghosted you. If you're not familiar with the term "ghosted," it's when someone ends all communication and contact with another person without any apparent warning or justification. Subsequently, they ignore any attempts to reach out or communication made by the person they're ghosting. And by that definition, this client is ghosting you. And it's not only with new clients. Sometimes an exiting client may ghost you in the middle of a project. You send them a proof and don't hear back. Or you ask them a question or for content you need, and you don't get a reply. This is any time you don't hear back from a client for whatever reason, even after several failed attempts at contacting them. What do you do? You send them The Magic Email, that's what. The Magic Email. What is The Magic Email, you ask? According to Blair Enns, Author and CEO of Win Without Pitching, a sales training organization for creative professionals. The Magic Email is a message you send to raise deals from the dead. That's its purpose, to solicit a response from someone who has been avoiding you. According to Enns, you must resist the temptation of sending an overly polite email. He suggests you do the opposite. Don't make excuses for your client's behaviour. And don't go soliciting a yes or any other answer from them. Enns suggests you strip away all emotions and let your prospect go matter-of-factly. And you that that with the following Magic Email. Within the last existing email thread, you had with your client, hit reply, change the subject to "Closing the Loop," and then write the following. Hi [FirstName]; I haven't heard back from you on [project/opportunity], so I'm going to assume you've gone in a different direction or your priorities have changed. Let me know if we can be of assistance in the future. Regards, [You] That's it. Enns says this removes the emotional reasons for the prospect to continue avoiding you. You are stripping out your neediness by no longer feigning politeness, by not asking how they've been or by being anything other than completely practical. This Magic Email says, "I can read between the lines, and you have decided we are not doing business together. No hard feelings – it's just business. You can call me if things change." What to expect after sending The Magic Email. You can expect one of three things to happen when you send The Magic Email. 1. Silence. Silence is the least likely scenario where you don't get a response at all. There's no longer any reason for the client not to wrap things up. All they have to do is send you a one-line acknowledgement email to remove this stress from their own lives. 2. Thank You. The client will send you a reply acknowledging that they have decided to cancel the project or they've moved in a different direction. This gives you closure and allows you to stop wasting energy over something that wasn't going to happen and move on to other clients and projects. There's no need to sulk about it. The deal was already done, probably a long time ago. The client just didn't tell you. 3. No, Wait! This is the response you're hoping for. According to Enns, by retreating unemotionally, where you might otherwise be inclined to advance, you suddenly become the one that might get away. The client stops seeing you as the predator that keeps sending them emails, to the prize they're about to lose. There's a psychological effect of this unemotional retreat that can be staggering in its effectiveness. And any resentment the client had over you harassing them turns into guilt about not replying to you earlier. This gives you the upper hand emotionally, and you suddenly become much more attractive to the client. You can learn more about all of this on Blair Enns site winwithoutpitching.com Variations of The Magic Email. Variation by Kai Davis We recently had a discussion in the Resourceful Designer Community about The Magic Email. Particularly about the different variations. Kai Davis of kaidavis.com adapted his Magic Email from Blair Enns' He says he split-tested it, and his version works better. His version is to send this one-sentence email. "Since I have not heard from you on this, I have to assume your priorities have changed." That's it, nothing else. Davis says it works because it's simple, intentionally vague, and effective. People are loss averse. Meaning their natural inclination is to reply immediately to keep you from walking away. You are taking back control of the situation by declaring it's over. Davis goes on to say that you may find this email rude. And that's the discussion we had in the Resourceful Designer Community. But he says it's not rude, just direct. It's the client who doesn't answer your emails that is rude. The person has already ignored you for weeks, so you have nothing to lose. It's just business. To learn more from Kai Davis' use of The Magic Email at themagicemail.com Variation by Chris Voss You can find another variation of The Magic Email in former FBI negotiator Chris Voss's book Never Split The Difference. Voss' variation is a simple message that provokes a "no" response, which gives the other party a feeling of safety and the illusion of control while encouraging them to define their position and explain it to you. This is how it works. Reply to an existing email thread. Change the subject line to a "no-oriented question." such as "have you given up on this?" In the body of the message, write the same or a very similar sentence. Don't add details or explanations. One short sentence is all you need. For example. "Have you given up on this project?" or "Have you moved in a different direction?" According to Voss, this is not a trick or technique. It's a respectful approach that gives the other party the freedom to respond truthfully to you without pressure. Which variation would you use? What version of The Magic Email would you use? We had our discussion in the Resourceful Designer Community, but I would love to know your thoughts. Leave a comment below and let me know how you approach clients who are ghosting you. Nobody likes to be ignored. And it's a waste of time and energy pursuing someone ghosting you. It's frustrating. So the next time something like this happens to you, try sending a variation of The Magic Email and see what happens. Who knows. You may light that fire under the client and get your stalled project back on track.

Today's episode was recorded live on October 25th, 2021 on Zoom. We begin with some new voices at our open mic before this month's headliners. First, Queer author, activist, and grassroots historian Owen Keehnen. His newest book, Voices in Isolation: 4 Queer Plays at a Social Distance, comes out next month. He is a cofounder of the LGBTQ history, arts, education organization, the Legacy Project and was inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2011. He is part of the founding group dedicated to making AIDS Garden Chicago a reality. He lives in Chicago with his husband Carl and their two dogs. Then, Kai Davis, she is a Black Queer writer, performer, and teaching artist from Philadelphia. Her work explores Blackness, Queerness, womanhood, and the many ways these identities converge. In 2017 Kai received the Leeway Transformation Award for her art for social change work in Philadelphia. She is currently a Co-Organizer for The Philly Pigeon poetry slam and retreat, Poetry Editor for Apiary Magazine, member of The Philadelphia Poet Laureate Committee, and the 2020 NextFab x Leeway Art and Technology Artist-in-Residence. Kai has performed for TEDX Philly, CNN, BET, PBS, and NPR, and her work has been published in The Offing (2018), The Shade Journal (2019), and Mouths of Rain (2021) among others.

Youth reporter Kai Davis used to play in the ashes as her family burned trash on a sequestered piece of their family land. Now older, Kai knows that burning trash is bad for her, and bad for the environment. But her neighborhood doesn't have access to waste collection. She wants that to change.Climate Stories | Youth Report is a podcast by Coastal Youth Media & NC Health News exploring how climate change is shaping our neighbors lives in unexpected ways. The project is funded in part by a grant by North Carolina Sea Grant through the Community Collaborative Research Program.

Today on In the Ring we have Kai Davis. Kai runs Double Your eCommerce with SEO and provides growth and SEO consulting for Shopify merchants. He also writes about marketing growth and lead generation Lead Generation for service professionals daily at KaiDavis.com. Show Takeaways: Why the discovery phase is so important when starting with a potential client Why a 40-minute phone call with a price instead of a deep dive is inappropriate (and unfair to the client!) Start at the goal Why paid discoveries? Why can't you spend time with me? By charging the client, we know that they take the recommendations seriously and actually sees it as something valuable. RFPs are bad - the client is writing a self-diagnosis and is missing the critical thinking. What to say to the client who just wants to 'get to work' - and skip discovery. Why 'Slow and Steady' is fast What to tell the client who wonders why it takes so long/too expensive Why is it beneficial to agencies and consulting firms to do this as their first engagement as a paid discovery?

Pitching, booking, and being the perfect podcast guest takes persistence and practice. Appearing on different shows is a tried and true method to growing a following, but there's a lot that goes into the process. This week on Audience, we sat down with Kai Davis who is an expert on how to get the most out of podcast guest opportunities. Davis been in the industry for over a decade. Through appearing and booking podcast guests, he helps podcasters, business owners, authors, and more achieve their marketing objectives. He's the authority on how to standout from the sea of pitch emails, why your pitches are being ignored, and how to help listeners become customers. In this episode, Craig interviews this professional podcast guest and learns a lot along the way. Listen to the full interview above then read on for our favorite Kai-approved tips. What's The Biggest Pain Point Of Finding Podcast Guests? Frustration. Davis' clients primarily come to him understanding the general pitching process but aren't receiving any bookings. Or worse, no response at all. The time it takes to research, write an email, and find the host's contact information is a commitment. And when that effort doesn't bear any fruit, it is easy toss this strategy aside. But there's a better mindset to approaching podcast guests. Instead of a sprint, it is a marathon. Allocate a set amount of resources you can put towards booking guest appearances. Break it down by categories to keep yourself on track. Categories could include: Researching podcasts and finding the right contact information Refining and improving the pitch email Following up with potential podcast guest bookings Fielding guest requests for your own show What's The Most Common Mistake When Pitching Podcast Guests? The primary way to get in touch with a host is via email. No matter if you're pitching yourself or asking someone to appear on your podcast, the request typically follows a pitch template. This pitch is where most podcasters make the biggest mistakes. To fix poorly worded pitches and standout from the crowd, Davis recommends approaching the process with more empathy. So what does empathy in pitch emails look like? It boils down to two main components. The pitch angle Being a guest requires providing value to both the host of the show and their audience. How and why you can provide that value should be the angle of the pitch. Follow these three steps to get started: Research the show's back catalog to find topics or themes that are referenced often. This likely means the host enjoys talking about that subject matter and the audience likes hearing about it. Analyze how you can improve upon that topic

Kai Davis is a lead generation expert who is enamored with the concept of becoming a niche celebrity, or a celebrity in a very small, specialized target market. He’s spent much of the last decade studying what it takes to build a personality-powered business in the eCommerce and information marketing spaces, and today he’s going to share what he’s learned about how personality sells product. So how niche are we talking? Like CBD oil for dogs with arthritis – so very, very specific. It might seem like focusing on such a small niche is limiting, but in fact, operating in a highly specialized space gives you more opportunities to capture market share, get people talking about you, and make a profit in the eCommerce world.

Jonathan Stark says the key to side hustle success -- for consultants, at least -- lies in finding an expensive problem, and solving it. Jonathan's a pro at finding these expensive problems, having run a successful online consulting business for several years, focusing on mobile-ready web development. At the recommendation of two-time Side Hustle Show guest, Kai Davis, he dropped by to share some of his insight on how to get a side hustle consulting business off the ground.

Today, I'm talking with Kai Davis, a business coach who helps freelancers, consultants and entrepreneurs uncover hidden profits in their business without spending more on marketing. I've been following Kai for some time, and I happen to follow a lot of people outside of the property management industry because I think it is the smart thing to do. Following smart people in other industries and then cross-applying those skills is one of the fastest ways to get to the top. In addition to being a highly-regarded coach and author, Kai is also a founder of the public relations agency Double Your Audience and host of the podcast "Make Money Online" and "Get More Clients." We're going to talk to Kai about lessons working with those folks running service-based businesses and how they can apply that to property management. And we're going to dig into some of the strategies that he has used to market his own business.

Kai Davis is an Outreach Consultant in Portland, Oregon.  He helps brands who sell products online generate more sales.
