The quickest way to land new clients with one simple email

I want to show you a simple, effective way to get clients quickly, without spamming anyone or sending cold emails.  

It’s called the hand-raise email, and it works at any stage of your sales funnel.  

Here’s how it looks:  

“Hey Mike! Next week, I’m putting together a beta group for five fitness coaches to help them land 10 new clients paying $500 a month, without spending a cent on ads or sending a single cold email.”  

This kind of email can be sent to your existing list, subscribers, or even posted on social media.  

And here’s why it works.  

First, it’s hyper-targeted.  

It calls out a specific niche, in this case, fitness coaches, making it clear who it’s for and acting as a qualifier for the right audience.  

Second, the offer is crystal clear and irresistible.  

You’re not just saying, “We’ll help you generate leads.” You’re giving them exactly what they want—10 new clients paying $500 a month.  

But there’s more to it.  

You add the magic words: without.  

In this example, it’s without spending money on ads or cold emailing—two major headaches for fitness coaches.  

By addressing their pain points upfront, you make the offer even more attractive.  

This is what gets people to raise their hand and say, “Yes, I’m interested!”  

It opens the door to a conversation, which is where the real selling begins.  

So next time you’re looking to land new clients, try the hand-raise email—it’s simple, effective, and doesn’t rely on cold outreach.
