remove me from your mailing list objection

Hi Will,

I’ve had 2 of the “remove me from your mailing list” type objections recently. One of which was a bit surprising in the sense it was the perfect ICP and a message that’s landed well with others.

I never quite know how to handle this over email apart from a “we help X to do Y by Z, did I get the wrong end of the stick here”

Any thoughts?

This is usually feedback that they thought your message was a marketing email rather than a sales email.

i.e. not created specifically for them.

If it’s an important account then for sure drop them another message to follow up. If it’s one in a sea of many then take it as a “not right now” response just worded lazily.

I think your follow up is good. I’d probably say –

Hi NAME,

Sorry my mistake. I’m after the person who manages X.

Is that someone else in your team?

Thanks,
