Some business owners already have a list full of your ideal clients.
This is how you get them to introduce you.
See the exact pitches that got business owners to open their audiences to me, and the three that went straight to the trash folder.
You've seen partnerships work.
Landing one is the part nobody explains.
You already know the math. One email to the right person's list, one guest spot, one newsletter mention, and you're in front of a room of people who arrived already warm, already looking for what you do, already trusting the person who introduced you.
You've probably tried it, too. Found someone whose audience was a perfect fit, written the message carefully, sent it. And then nothing. Not a no, just silence. Nothing you could learn from.
It's an easy thing to file under "didn't work" and move on from. But the pitch almost never fails for the reason you'd assume. It's not your numbers and it's not your track record. It's one message, and the specific things it gets wrong in the first few lines, before anyone's decided whether to reply.
I get pitched constantly, and I pitch other people too. After years on both sides of the inbox, I can tell you a yes or a no comes down to a few specific things, and most people don't realise they're getting them wrong.
Inside, you'll see the actual message that got Selena Soo to say yes.

the Yes files
The Yes Files is a look inside my actual inbox.
Five real pitches I sent or received that got a fast yes, one of which a host told me "stood out by a mile," and three that didn't make the cut.
Each one is annotated with exactly what was happening and why it landed or didn't.
