Matthew Kimberley – Delightful Emails

Delightful Emails: A VERY Special, VERY Time-Limited Offer For The Discerning Reader Who Doesnât Want To Sit Through A Webinar Before Making A Buying Decision
from Matthew Kimberley,
author of Get A F*cking Grip and Book Yourself Solid for Coaches and Consultants
NOTE
Traditionally, Delightful Emails â possibly the worldâs most effective and easy system for sending emails that people want to read, reply to and buy from â was only available to purchase after registering for â and participating in â a live workshop.
(Also known as a âsales webinarâ.)
And although it was fun and, yes, delightful, I got plenty of feedback from buyers like me ⌠the kind of people for whom the crapshoot of a 90 minute webinar is a risk that isnât always worth it ⌠who wanted to buy without the barriers.
So this page is for you.
Itâs a risky decision on my part, asking you to spend hundreds of dollars on the back of reading a single page.
But youâre smart, and grown-up enough to make your own decision ⌠and you may well have been sent here by a friend.
So be quick, jump on board and donât forget your satisfaction guarantee. Youâll enjoy this immensely âŚ

Email is the greatest wasted opportunity in marketing for many business owners.
Maybe for you, too?
Your Instagram feed is on point. Your visual branding is SWEEEET ⌠but your emails? Not so much.
For something that promises such great results ⌠sending effective emails easily is something thatâs really difficult to get right.
You KNOW all the selling points of doing email right. You understand its potential. But itâs never quite FLOWED like it should for you, perhaps?
I get it. My clients all tell me the same thing:
- Itâs difficult to get the words on the page.
- Itâs difficult to hit send.
- Itâs difficult to get your readers to engage, or reply, or click, or buy.
Which is a huge shame.
Itâs a shame because you donât need to be educated on the value of a responsive and well-trained database of email subscribers.
After all, how many times have you heard that âthe money is in the list?â
Since the day you started your online business, youâve made a concerted effort to be in charge of your own platform and not rely too heavily on âborrowed mediaâ like Facebook and Instagram and Pinterest.
Sure, those places might give us love and affirmation and reinforcement and the adrenaline rush that goes with double taps and likes and follows âŚ
⌠but weâre on shaky ground if we concentrate all our efforts there, operating in an environment that changes weekly, where we risk having our accounts deactivated from one day to the next, and where weâre entirely subject to the whims of of the algorithm.
Email is the answer to that particular problem.
And in principle, itâs a flawless answer.
In fact, thereâs no better way to generate interest, sales and adoring relationships with the people most likely to buy from you than email.
At least in theory âŚ
But, in practice, when it comes to extracting the money from the list, you end up all bent and compromised.
Youâre just not getting the results that you want, and it feels like too much work.
Either youâre âhitting themâ too hard, and coming across as borderline psychotic, talking in ALL CAPS and with urgency and scarcity and words like THE GREATEST OFFER EVER!! to your copy âŚ
(which even you donât believe but that affiliate contest prize looks so juicy, right?)
⌠or you pre-emptively apologize for having the audacity to show up in their inbox and try to win them over with your âauthenticityâ and âvulnerabilityâ and humanity and end up coming off as a lily-livered sop, afraid of your own shadow.
You often donât know WHAT to write. You donât know HOW MUCH to write. And weâre never certain about how frequently to write.
Once a week feels too impersonal. Any more feels like youâre overstaying your welcome. Any less and youâre afraid youâll be forgotten.
Youâve studied subject lines and scientific examinations of open rates and best time-of-the-day to hit send. Theoretically youâre all good with the principles of email marketing.
Theoretically weâre ALL all good with the principles of email marketing.
So why is it so damn difficult?
Does this sound familiar?
Your emails donât sound like you.
Theyâre dull or theyâre aggressive. Theyâre ineffective at worst and âluckyâ at best. You donât have structure for creating and writing and you donât enjoy it.
Every time you sit down to hammer out an email you spent an age thinking about what to write.
Then you put together a draft or eight that youâre not happy with.
Then you say âIâll come back to it tomorrow.â
And when you DO come back to it tomorrow, you get frustrated with your lack of progress and end up sending out something that sucks and doesnât work very well.
Youâre not making the sales that you want, youâre not winning those affiliate contests. You canât even get somebody to hit reply most of the time!
Email marketing â for the great majority of online service professionals â is the greatest wasted opportunity of all.
But there IS an alternative.
The Alternative To Difficult and Ineffective Email Marketing
If email isnât getting you the results that you want, then itâs time to make a change. The good news is that change is only a couple of new habits away.
If you write marketing and sales emails and you want to write them better, with less friction, more fun and measurably better results (clicks, attention, open rates, SALES) then learning how to write truly Delightful Emails will save your sanity and equip you with a skill that will put dollars in the bank for the rest of your professional life.
Internalize these three incredibly powerful truths to make the entire process of email marketing more delightful for you and for your readers and see how quickly things change.
 TRUTH #1:
REAL âVALUEâ IS IN SHOWING UP, NOT âPROVIDING VALUEâ
Youâve probably been told that your emails need to be âvaluableâ.
For which you may have understood âactionableâ.
Actionable, of course, means that you impart KNOWLEDGE that can be APPLIED to a situation in your prospectâs life or business to solve a problem or provide a remedy.
Think: strategies, tips, resources, cheatsheets, downloads, tools and checklists.
Because youâre terrified to be ONLY providing actionable content, you try âonly speak when youâve got something worth sayingâ.
You feel obliged to stay on top of industry trends and to be endlessly creating new content so that you can point your readers towards it and they can TAKE ACTION on the new stuff that youâre perpetually making.
Which is exhausting, and for most of us, unsustainable.
Consequently, we get overwhelmed and hide. Instead of delivering âvaluable, actionable contentâ, we deliver nothing at all.
Weeks go by where we donât send anything at all, and then (crime of all crimes!) we start our email â when we finally get round to sending it â by saying âsorry for the radio silence.â
You can fix this by immediately and dramatically recalibrating your measure of âvalueâ.
Take a moment to make a list of all the things in your life that are truly value-able.
The things that you cherish.
The things that you canât live without.
The things you would rescue from a burning building.
Because thatâs the TRUE measure of value.
Those love-letters, photographs, favorite records and keepsakes are almost certainly not checklists or pdfs or instruction manuals or strategy guides.
Instead theyâre objects that elicit an emotional response.
They are things â objects, memories, experiences â that make us FEEL something.
Things that make us smile. Things that make us cry. Things that make us laugh. Things that make us THINK.
When you internalize that truth, everything will change for you when it comes to being confident of your âvalueâ when sending emails.
It means, for example, that your âCTAâ (call to action) doesnât EVER need be âclick hereâ or âsign upâ or âregisterâ. Instead, it can be âthink about thatâ or âenjoy this storyâ or âyouâre normalâ or even âlaugh at meâ.
The VALUE that you get from a love-song or an action-movie or a stand-up comedian or listening to your favorite talk-radio host FAR outweighs the value that you get from any instruction manual.
And the value that you get from having meaningful RELATIONSHIPS with other people ⌠well thatâs probably the greatest value of all.
Which brings us to Truth Number 2 âŚ
 TRUTH #2:
YOUR âLISTâ WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU
If somebody gives you their number and says âcall meâ, itâs a good sign that they want some kind of a relationship with you. So you call them.
If your mother says âsend me photos of the kidsâ sheâs not expecting anything less than four good pics a day and, ideally, a video or two. So you comply.
But when somebody signs up for your email list, and explicitly says âsend me emailsâ, you poop the bed.
They say:
âWRITE TO ME!â
But you hear:
âIf you feel like writing to me â at MOST once a month â and as long as your email doesnât have too much personality or contain any typos, then I might, perhaps, if Iâm in the mood, humor you by reading it from behind half-closed eyes with my nose all scrunched up in distaste. But youâre on a warning already: youâre only a hairâs breadth away from being blacklisted forever, so donât mess it up.â
Itâs really unfathomable: they tell you clearly that they want something and you convince yourself that theyâre lying.
Which is not only really weird but also (you may be pleased to hear) incredibly common.
Itâs called email reluctance.
- If youâve ever felt tightness in your chest before you hit send, you suffer from email reluctance.
- If youâve ever said âmy list donât want to hear from me that oftenâ â like they have a collective nervous system and function as a chimeric whole â then you suffer from email reluctance.
- If youâve ever started to write an email but then convinced yourself that nobody wants to hear what youâve got to say then youâve got email reluctance.
Email reluctance doesnât afflict everybody but itâs as real as sales call reluctance (which, statistically, you definitely suffer from).
The good news, though, is that itâs totally fixable. It just requires a mental reframe.
You are NOT âemailing your listâ for a start.
Thatâs a transactional and ugly way of putting it.
Your list is NOT a collective body that compare notes on how eloquent or erudite you are in your missives.
Instead, your list is a non-connected group of individuals, each with their own reading habits, work habits and bathroom habits who have raised their hand and, one at a time, said âI need your help, please help me.â
Every time you drop them a line, providing that you treat them with love and respect and donât insult their intelligence, youâre fulfilling your side of the contract. The contract looks like this:
- They give you their contact details because they WANT you to stay in touch with them.
- You stay in touch with them.
- They will allow you to make sales offers to them.
If you deliberately refrain from helping them out when they need it, thatâs willful neglect.
(And itâs not too smart from a business development point of view, either.)
Emails should primarily educate, entertain and sell.
Which is GREAT, because everybody loves learning stuff, laughing at stuff and buying stuff.
We gorge on podcasts, we binge on Netflix and we never stop looking for new and exciting ways to spend our money.
If your emails educate, entertain and sell, then your correspondents will be delighted to hear from you, just as youâre delighted to tune into the same podcast each week and the same radio show each morning.
You donât say âthis show would be so much better if it was less frequent.â
Instead, youâre excited for the next installment.
Just like YOUR pen-pals are excited for YOUR next email.
So write them something delightful.
But what are you going to write to them?
Letâs talk about that.
 TRUTH #3:
ITâSÂ EASYÂ TO WRITE AN EMAIL
âWhat if it wasnât true?â is one of my favorite maxims to live by.
I first discovered it with webinars. Frustrated by the regular webinar experience: inconvenient time of day, 2 hours long, first 30 minutes being pre-amble, last 45 minutes being hard pitch âŚ
I found myself resistant to delivering webinars.
I just didnât see myself as somebody who could â in good faith â subject my prospects to the same experience that I had every single time I registered for an online presentation.
I brought it up with my coach at the time.
I said âIâm just not a webinar person.â
My coach dug a bit deeper and asked why not.
âBecause they suck,â I said.
âRight,â she said. âAnd what if that wasnât true?â
- What if they werenât at an inconvenient time of day?
- What if they didnât last two hours?
- What if you jumped straight to the meat and avoided all the warm-up?
- What if there was no hard sell?
âWhat if you delivered your sales presentations online the same way that you delivered your sales presentations in person?â
And ⌠BOOM.
I saw the light!
Just because other people do something one way ⌠just because most people do something one way ⌠doesnât mean that YOU have to do it like that.
(My webinars now kick ass, by the way. Theyâre fun and quick and highly effective.)
Which brings us back to emails.
Do YOU know how to write an EFFECTIVE email?
OF COURSE YOU DO.
Since you first sat down at a computer to compose your very first email on your Yahoo or Hotmail or AOL account, you have successfully communicated, and negotiated, and bought and sold and corresponded with other people.
Writing emails is SECOND NATURE to you.
Youâve been doing it for YEARS. You probably spend hours every day inside of your email account, successfully and effectively making business happen with other people who you know and who you donât know without thinking about it for even a second.
But email marketing looks and feels different.
For example, you use a different interface â your MailChimp or Aweber or Drip or Convertkit or ActiveCampaign or Infusionsoft account â instead of your Gmail account.
You are writing to lots of people at once, instead of to just one person.
You donât know these people, probably, and youâre curious (possibly afraid) of how theyâre going to judge you.
You spend hours fretting over subject lines and calls-to-action and opening paragraphs because youâre obsessing over open rates and click-through rates and deliverability.
And so you forget that you know â PERFECTLY WELL â how to write a serviceable email.
Consequently the act of email marketing (as opposed to âwriting an emailâ) becomes stressful and ineffective.
So what if that wasnât true?
Because it doesnât have to be.
The Anatomy Of An Effective Email
An effective email, whether youâre writing it to one person or to 20,000 people, communicates something that you want to communicate.
Itâs made up of a greeting (A):
âHelloâ
an ask, or a call-to-action, or a conclusion of some type (C):
âClick here to find out moreâ
and some context (B):
âIâm holding a small group workshop on how to manage your business finances. Youâll learn how to keep more of the money that you earn.â
Put them in the right order, add a subject line and youâve got a perfectly effective, straightforward and very, very simple to write email:
SUBJECT: Class about finances
(A) Hello!
(B) Iâm holding a small group workshop on how to manage your business finances. Youâll learn how to keep more of the money that you earn.
(C) Click here to find out more
Thanks!
Matthew
You do NOT need to use all caps.
You do NOT need to âstudy copywritingâ.
You do NOT need to sweat blood.
You just need to KNOW that writing an email is EASY, and that you already do it MULTIPLE times a day.
But effective is only HALF the battle.
Youâve got to make them DELIGHTFUL if theyâre going to KEEP opening!
And thatâs where this course comes in.
Delightful Emailsâ˘
A Course On Better Email Marketing From Matthew Kimberley
If we donât know each other yet, then hi!
Iâm Matthew Kimberley.
I do some things quite well, many things very badly, and one thing exceptionally well: emails.
Iâve generated over a million in revenue from just one small email membership program, called The Single Malt Mastermind.
When members joined, theyâd get an email from me each week.
That was the entire offer.
Iâm not revealing any trade-secrets when I say that the program was a 54-part email autoresponder sequence, dripped out over one year (and written over eight years ago).
I love email so much that Iâve been teaching it â albeit accidentally â for a long time.
Back when I was running the Book Yourself Solid⢠School of Coach Training, I had this party trick I used to do at our workshops.
Iâd write an email in real time, on the fly, using random words thrown at me by the audience.
And while my audience was impressed at how quickly I could piece an email together âŚ
⌠they were gobsmacked at how quickly THEY were able to do exactly the same thing with just a little instruction.
Itâs such an important skill I committed to giving it to more people.
In 2016, I ran a one-off, 90 minute masterclass on crafting truly delightful emails, the kind of emails that STAND OUT in your inbox, the kind of emails that your correspondents ACTIVELY look forward to receiving, the kind of emails that get people to spontaneously write back to you, and buy your offer, over and over again.
The participants LOVED it, and begged for more.
So since then, Iâve delivered extended versions of it in workshops, both for my own clients and at the invitation of some of my friends.
- Todd Hermanâs Basecamp clients got a private in-person email seminar from me in New York. Todd is the author of the hyper-bestselling Alter Ego Effect.
- Dale Beaumontâs Business Blueprint clients got a private in-person email seminar from me in Sydney. Dale runs the largest business training company in Australia.
- Taki Mooreâs BlackBelt clients got a private in-person email seminar from me in Los Angeles. Taki is the author of Million Dollar Coach and helps 100+ business coaches get to seven figures each year.
- Chris Duckerâs Private Mastermind clients got me up-close and in-person in San Diego
- Clint Salterâs Dance Studio Ownersâ Association had me deliver a workshop for them as well, because it works for brick-and-mortar businesses just as well as it works for online businesses and service businesses.
So I did a live program on my own account. I delivered a 9-hour over 3 weeks online masterclass, at considerable investment, to an initial cohort of 60 people.
Feedback was off the charts. They loved it.
So I improved it, added resources and got one of the worldâs leading instructional designers to put together workbooks and learning guides.
This course is now available for you to take, apply, and be a more confident and entertaining and effective email marketer by tomorrow.
It doesnât matter whether you teach sales or sell tails. It doesnât matter if youâre an accountant, a glass-blower, a life-coach or a software developer. Delightful Emails will upgrade YOUR experience YOUR READERâS experience from âmehâ to âHELL YEAH!â
 Plus! Finally Revealed! The Secret To An Effortless Six-Pack, 4% Body Fat, Enough Stamina For Sex 8 Times A Day, Perpetual Motion And Immortality!
Just kidding, obviously.
But it does bring up a critical point.
So many smart, creative and funny individuals turn into psychopaths when it comes to writing marketing and sales emails.
- They put on their âbasic copywriting bitchâ face and proactively insult the intelligence of their readers.
- They write like fourth-graders because they heard that âreadabilityâ is paramount.
- They scream scarcity and urgency until theyâre red in the face and get downright dishonest with their incentives and explanations (âserver down!â, âdeadline extended!â, âyou canât afford to NOT do it!â)
But it doesnât have to be that way. You can write AUTHENTIC and EFFECTIVE sales and marketing emails that DELIGHT your readers, make them smile, and make them buy your stuff.
