How Email Templates Help Sales Teams Mind
Their Ps and Qs
business2community.com MAY 4, 2015 Jennifer Dignum
I read some research recently that said nearly
80% of people decide to engage or not engage with people based on their email
etiquette! Even bigger was the finding that 88% of us spend time rewriting
emails to sound more intelligent. The research went on to highlight a few other
email issues – such as millennials wanting to sound more educated and an
overall preference for short emails.
Think of your own sales organization for a moment. How often do
your reps send out emails on a daily basis? For most sales reps, it can be
between 30-40 emails a day.
These emails can represent the first impression a prospect has of
your business and – if you consider the above research findings – can be a make
or break opportunity. Additionally, if 90% of your sales reps are spending time
to rewrite all of their emails, it can also take up a huge amount of time –
time that could be spent better engaging with more prospects!
With email templates and automated sequencing, sales leaders can
remove the biggest concerns they have around emails, such as whether their
sales reps are:
- Spending too much time writing emails?
- Making typos or grammatical errors in prospect emails?
- Sending emails that aren’t effective?
- Sending too many emails too frequently?
Email templates increase a rep’s productivity
With email templates specifically created for different stages of
the purchasing cycle and customized for different types of customers, sales
reps can save considerable time in their day – and still retain the ability to
personalize their communications. Email templates give them that control
combined with a powerful, time-saving baseline for email interactions.
Email templates can eliminate typos and grammatical errors
You can’t always prevent typos, but email templates give you the
very best chance possible. With an email template, you can ensure that the bulk
of copy is clearly and concisely written and contains no grammatical errors,
and still giving reps some latitude for personalization.
Email templates can improve success rate
By combining email templates with analytics, organizations can see
which emails deliver the best performance. This insight allows you to quickly
identify the emails that engage prospects the most – and get rid of the ones
that don’t! Using templates that have been proven to successfully engage
prospects, your sales reps can be confident about the email content based on
its past history of success – and not waste time re-writing routine email
correspondence.
Sequencing of email templates
Going a step further, email sequencing can deliver the biggest
return by automating a series of emails based on a particular prospect’s
response or where a prospect is in the buying cycle. For example, if you send a
group of emails, and half of the recipients open them, you can choose to send a
specific email for the recipients who opened the email and a different one for
those who didn’t – and maybe the latter a few days later. With analytics
showing the approach that works best, sales leaders can outline a clear path
for sales reps to follow in their email communications with prospects.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. With
inside sales rapidly outpacing field sales, emails have become a de facto form
of prospect and customer communication. Make it easy for your sales team to
mind their email Ps and Qs and keep the focus on core selling activities with
automated email templates and sequencing.
