Hi, my incredible students!

I hope you're kicking off spring with tons of energy and inspiration as you move toward your biggest dreams! As always, my classes are available to you 24/7 to provide you with that extra sparkle of encouragement at the drop of a hat!

As an independent artist/entrepreneur, I know how important it is to pitch yourself for opportunities! In fact, this month, I signed five EPIC contracts from cold emails alone and landed some dream opportunities!

As a thank you for being my student, I wanted to gift you my exact plug-and-play email template so you can create magic with as well.

Let's dive right in!

SUBJECT LINE

"Hi ____! Re: ______"

When possible, always put someone's first name in the subject line. They're much more likely to open it, and it will set your email apart from the many mass emails they're likely receiving.

I NEVER do “to whom it may concern” ~ Research the name!

Sometimes I’ll call ahead and ask who specifically to reach out to.

For the “Re:” mention what you’re interested in connecting on. For example, “Hi Melissa! Re: Live Music at Crave Cafe”

Re: means regarding, but when most people see it, they think I’m replying... so they open it. It’s a lil’ trick I figured out.

TIP! I also like to write their name two times in the email itself. A person's favorite word is their own name!

THE BODY OF THE EMAIL

It’s time to hook 'em!

Start with a sincere, genuine compliment if possible, then get to how you want to serve/support THEM with what YOU do.

Some examples:

Rachel, I’m obsessed with the vibe you’ve created at Crave Cafe. I have a really unique idea to share with you to make Friday nights super special!

Monica, The live music you put together at The Roxy is seriously the best in town. I’d love to bring my photography skills to your space and capture this Saturday’s lineup!

Phoebe, Every time I take a dance class at Releve Studios I feel lit up for days! I’d love to chat about the possibility of bringing a specialty lyrical class to your studio that you don’t currently offer!

THE BODY OF THE EMAIL

Now introduce who YOU are clearly and confidently.

1-2 Magnetic, Concise Paragraphs MAX

- Position yourself as an expert / the coolest ever (you ARE!)

- Describe notable past experiences

- Share an awesome review or two

- Drop any press or awards

***IF YOU DON’T HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE,I PROMISE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN LEVERAGE AND TALK ABOUT, EVEN IF IT’S SOMETHING YOU DID IN HIGH SCHOOL! ***

- Really lean into what you can offer THEM

- Overall: make it about how you can serve or support THEM. This is hugely important!

Take a peek at the example below:

EXAMPLE

Phoebe,

Every time I take a dance class at Releve Studios I feel lit up for days! I’d love to chat about the possibility of bringing a specialty lyrical class to your studio that you don’t currently offer!

[PART ONE: MAKE IT ABOUT YOU]

My name is Lily, and I’ve been a professionally trained dancer for 7+ years with a focus on lyrical, modern, and contemporary styles. I currently teach some of the fastest-growing classes classes at ____ & ____ studios where I’m super passionate about getting adults excited to return to dance or begin for the first time!

[PART TWO: MAKE IT ABOUT THEM]

I noticed you are just beginning your adult program in the evenings at Releve Studios, and it got me thinking: It looks like a lyrical class isn’t on your schedule yet --- I felt like this might be an amazing opportunity to reach out and see if I could serve or support you in any way as an instructor! I’ve had a fantastic experience at ____ studio where I grew the class to 25 students in just 3 months. I’d love to bring my background, enthusiasm, and expertise to your students!

IN CLOSING

Keep it friendly and confident.

This is also a great spot to drop a sample of work or a relevant review.

"I’ve attached a video of the last class I taught for you to take a peek at. Let me know if I can provide you with anything else!

Thank you, Phoebe!

Best, Lily”

This is what I've done, but feel free to end it in your own way! I always recommend ending with gratitude.

There you have it! Pretty please let me know what opportunities you land with this template!! :)

Everything is possible. I believe in you infinitely!

All my best,
