Page 3: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Prep Your Email. 1

Page 4: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Before you start writing, take 5 – 10 minutes to prepare with relevant information.

Page 5: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Try a simple Google search.

Page 6: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

See if they blog – If so, what do they care enough

about to write about it?

Page 7: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Find their social presence – Do they have an interesting new post? Have any recent

updates?

Page 8: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Check company website – Review the about us page or

management page.

Page 9: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

But don’t let your newly acquired bank of information

end your prep.

Page 10: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

We actually need a reason to reach out to someone.

Page 11: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Think: How are you connected?

Do you have mutual connections? Use them in your introduction to establish credibility.

Page 12: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Research: Use a trigger event.

Did an internal or

external event happen that influences your email introduction?

Page 13: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Personalize: Leverage lead intelligence.

What pages did they

most recently view on your site? Which search

terms drove them to your business?

Page 14: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Once we establish context, we can leverage that information to start a personalized email conversation.

Your body copy should relay your value by connecting you to your prospect.

Page 38: How to Write Emails People WANT to Respond to [Sales Template]

Avoid generic value propositions like:

“We help web marketing firms increase their lead generation by 400% and effortlessly prove ROI to their clients.”

Instead, try asking a great question that aligns your research

with your prospect’s goals.
