Prospecting is even done in person. However, we do not tend to hear much about prospecting through email, but it is an ever growing part of prospecting for many businesses. Learning how to send killer\u00a0sales emails to prospects can mean the difference between nailing down a sale and getting completely ignored. I stumbled upon an excellent article this week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/286996\">detailing the best ways to send sales\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/286996\"><br \/>\nemails that impress<\/a>. If you want to learn the secrets, just keep reading my article summary.<\/p>\n<h2>The Subject Line<\/h2>\n<p>It is not shocking to think that most people check their email on their phone or with some fancy email software. Pair that with the fact that they probably receive hundreds of emails per day. This means that a catchy, yet focused subject line is critical in getting your email read. Many people put too much effort into the body of the email, however, the body will never get read if your subject line is mediocre.<\/p>\n<h2>Be Conversational<\/h2>\n<p>So you got the prospect to actually read your email, look at you! The next important step is to write your emails in a conversational tone. You may be thinking that the best approach is to be extremely formal and business-like. But, writing casually will ease the mind of your prospect and come off as friendly.<\/p>\n<h2>Personalize<\/h2>\n<p>Do your research about your prospect before writing the sales email. Make sure that you address them by their name. Then, by knowing some key facts about them, you will be able to properly allude to their pain. Who does not like a personalized message, anyway? This also helps avoid having your sales email look like some template that you send to everyone, which tends to be a turnoff to prospects.<\/p>\n<h2>Brevity<\/h2>\n<p>Remember how I said that your prospects are probably receiving hundreds of emails per day? If they have decided to read your email, you want to ensure that they make it to the end. Thus, the best sales emails are ones that are short. They probably do not have endless time on their hands to read a novel.<\/p>\n<h2>End With a Question<\/h2>\n<p>Ask a question at the end of every email so that you give your prospect a reason to engage. Hopefully further conversations will follow.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that these quick sales email tips have made you feel more confident about contacting prospects and take some of the fear out of prospecting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Untitled-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2622 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Untitled-1-300x90.png\" alt=\"amanda vitale signature\" width=\"210\" height=\"63\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Untitled-1-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Untitled-1-624x187.png 624w, https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Untitled-1.png 720w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 210px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 210\/63;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most important tasks that salespeople must do frequently is prospecting.
