“Women are like a jar of olives. You can eat one, close it up. Or you can eat them all.”
— Warren Beatty
I recently read some statistics about the sex life of Warren Beatty.
The man lost his virginity at age 20.
And then, he became a Hollywood star.
Over the next 35 years, he supposedly slept with almost 13,000 women, according to the best estimates of his biographer, Peter Biskind.
That averages to a new woman every day.
Almost certainly not true. Even Beatty himself has denied the claim.
However, he has over the decades been associated with a lot of famous women, including Melanie Griffith, Darryl Hannah, Jane Fonda, Vivien Leigh, Madonna, Carly Simon, Goldie Hawn, Barbara Streisand…
Oh, and Joan Collins, who said Beatty was “so pretty but just TOO exhausting in the bedroom.”
Mind you, all those women knew about each other. In other words, Beatty’s playboy background didn’t hurt. It helped.
Anyways, now that you have that in mind, I want to tell you something related that might help your copywriting career.
I am currently negotiating a project with a client that I’ve done some smaller work for.
If this comes through, it will be the biggest single project I have had to date.
But the interesting thing is how I got this client.
About a year ago, I wrote him a cold email to introduce myself.
“Sounds interesting,” he replied. “I will keep you in mind.”
And he did.
He first hired me for a single project around December, then again for something in April, then a few small things earlier this summer. And now, here we are.
And here’s the thing.
I’ve sent the same cold email to several other leads.
They haven’t hired me yet. But they have all gotten back to me very quickly, with an almost identical response.
“Sounds interesting. I will keep you in mind.”
So what was the cold email? Well, if you’d like to find that out, you can get it inside my shamelessly promiscuous A-List Zone. For more information:
