Sales Reps, Do You Send These Types Of Emails?

Posted December 21, 2021

Just out of curiosity, with all that’s going on in the world right now, do you think people are a tad more;

Doubtful

Skeptical

Hesitant

And even more likely to cling to the status quo while embracing a “wait and see” attitude?

And that’s why you need to use social proof!

What is social proof?

It’s a concept that people will adapt their behavior based on what the masses (particularly their peers) are doing.

This is particularly powerful right now with the pandemic and the uncertainty involved, so;

We look to the crowd, the industry, our peers;

To see what they’ve been doing and if it validates something we’ve been considering.

An example of social proof and how you can use it in a cold sales email.

Testimonials.

Your prospect is buying YOU first, so;

When you use a testimonial make sure the testimonial mentions YOU and not just your company, widget, solution, etc.

Also, make sure you use a complete name and not just “Mary F” that sh*t is sketchy and undermines the process of building trust.

Most of all;

Provide a testimonial from someone that you’ve been able to help during the pandemic.

There are additional ways to provide social proof and “evidence” to reduce hesitation, doubt, and skepticism in your emails.

I’ll be sharing them in our webinar tomorrow.
