The 2 Types Of Emails EVERY Sales Rep Should Be Using

Posted July 27, 2018

2-types-of-email

There are two types of email you need to have in your sales arsenal.

Consider these as categories with multiple flavors but here they are.

The first category is prospecting emails and I bet you’re all over this one.

These are the emails you send out to people, who haven’t opted in (aka requested) to receive your emails.

You’re approaching them to hopefully set an appointment, schedule a call or demo etc.

The second category is where the bulk of the sales population falls way short!

These are the emails you are sending to people who have opted in to receive emails from you.

The key phrase here is “Opted in” as in

“Hell yes, I’d actually like to receive info from you!”

Time Out: You might be thinking “My marketing department already does this” and that’s where you’re making a GRAVE MISTAKE!

Marketing departments market the company, NOT You and potential clients buy you first!

So when you send helpful ideas, tips, suggestions, resources etc to potential clients;

It builds YOUR relationship with someone who has basically said “I’d like to get to know you better!”

It establishes your expertise and credibility and also a sense of propinquity! Call me crazy but I’m thinking that those things expedite sales!

Do you have your own email list comprised of people who have actually opted in?

Which type of email recipient do you think converts quicker;

Someone who asked to receive your emails or

Someone who had that decision made for them?

During our upcoming 50 Emails (and templates) To ROCK Your Sales program I’m going to be showing you how to build your own list with people who actually WANT to get emails from you.
