<\/figure>\nBut sometimes, sending the right email can be a struggle. What do you say? And more importantly, how<\/em> do you say it?<\/p>\n Crafting the perfect email can make or break your sales targets and your relationships with prospects. No pressure! \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n But don\u2019t fear, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve put together some excellent email templates for you to use for your follow up! And to make it even better, we\u2019ve categorized the email templates by different scenarios you face on a daily basis as a salesperson. \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n So, read on to find the right template for your next message, and watch those deals come rolling in. You can use these templates alongside any of your existing sales tools<\/a>, content writers<\/a>, and mass emailing platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n (By the way, if your current bottleneck is getting those first replies, here are the cold email templates that work for us<\/a>. \ud83d\udc8c) Let\u2019s say you sent a fantastic email to a lead \u2013 because of course you did \u2013 and they opened it, but then decided to not reply. \u2639\ufe0f<\/p>\n It can be frustrating to feel ignored, but stay positive!<\/p>\n Maybe they forgot to respond or the email got lost in the shuffle\u2026or maybe they just aren\u2019t interested or your email went to the wrong person in the company. Until you know for sure, it\u2019s always best to politely follow up.<\/p>\n No worries, use this email template<\/a> to follow up and try to get a response from them.<\/p>\n Be sure to include:<\/p>\n Subject: Checking in re: [quick phrase that covers what your last email was about]<\/p>\n Hi [First name],<\/p>\n I\u2019m writing to follow up on my email regarding [what your last email was about].<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t hear back from anyone on your team. If it makes sense to talk further, let me know how your calendar looks for the next few weeks for a 5-10 minute call.<\/p>\n If not, who is the appropriate person for me to speak to?<\/p>\n Thanks for your help. Looking forward to hearing from you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Let\u2019s say someone gets back to you \u2013 perhaps from using the template in the first category \u2013 and they give you the contact details of someone else in the company who would be better suited to speak to.<\/p>\n Great! But now what do you say? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n Be sure to include:<\/p>\n Subject: Talked to [person who originally referred you]<\/p>\n Hi [First name],<\/p>\n I just talked to [person who originally referred you], who referred me to you.<\/p>\n I reached out to [person who originally referred you] because I noticed [pain point of the team and why it is painful].<\/p>\n [Quick description of your solution and how it solves the pain point].<\/p>\n Could we arrange for a quick 5-10 minute call in the next week to explore [solution]?<\/p>\n Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2728Tip: Be sure to CC the person you originally spoke to, so that it doesn\u2019t look like a random cold email and gives you more credibility going into the conversation.<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you spoke to a prospect, but they said their company wasn\u2019t ready to buy and asked you to come back to them \u201cin a couple months.\u201d<\/p>\n Thankfully, you can set a reminder in Salesflare<\/a> so that you don\u2019t miss your follow-up email<\/a> moment (and you\u2019ll have an automated timeline at your fingertips so you don\u2019t forget what you talked about last time). \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n So now, the real question is, how are you going to pull them back into the conversation?<\/p>\n Be sure to include:<\/p>\n Subject: Ready to continue the conversation?<\/p>\n Hi [First name],<\/p>\n The last time we spoke, you asked that I get back in touch in [amount of time requested] regarding [topic covered last time], so I wanted to reach out and follow through on that.<\/p>\n Have you had the chance to look over my proposal and think about what we previously discussed?<\/p>\n I\u2019d be more than happy to do a quick recap of everything on the phone and to answer any pending questions you may have.<\/p>\n How does your calendar look this week for a chat?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n You met someone at an event, such as a conference or networking session, or at an office you were visiting, and you\u2019d like to follow up with any business you discussed. \ud83e\udd1d<\/p>\n As it\u2019s a mutual conversation, this should be a relatively easy response to receive \u2013 as long as you\u2019re polite and get to the point of your message quickly.<\/p>\n Be sure to include:<\/p>\n Subject line: Great meeting you at [event\/location]<\/p>\n Hi [First name],<\/p>\n It was nice to meet you at [where you met them].<\/p>\n I loved hearing about [what was discussed].<\/p>\n I think it would be great to chat further about [reason you\u2019re interested in speaking further]. Do you have some time in the next few weeks? Let\u2019s [action: meet for coffee, have lunch, plan a meeting, etc.].<\/p>\n My schedule is wide open on [suggest a few days] if that works for you as well?<\/p>\n Looking forward to discussing further!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n You just had a call or meeting with a potential customer \u2013 yay! \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n But\u2026now what?<\/p>\n Naturally, it\u2019s time to send a follow-up email<\/a>.<\/p>\n Be sure to include:<\/p>\n \u2728Tip: Be sure to schedule a follow-up meeting or call while you\u2019re speaking to them the first time, so that you can keep the conversation going.<\/strong><\/p>\n Subject: Nice to meet you!<\/p>\n Hi [Name],<\/p>\n Great chatting with you earlier and learning more about you and your role at [company].<\/p>\n I now understand the issues you\u2019re encountering with [a pain point discussed in the meeting] and how it can make it harder to [whatever the pain point prevents them from doing].<\/p>\n As discussed, I\u2019ve attached some more information about our solution and how we can help you with [pain point] and solve [specific business issue].<\/p>\n Please do let me know if you have any questions and I\u2019d be happy to chat again. If not, I look forward to talking again on [predetermined meeting day\/time].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Let\u2019s say you notice on Salesflare that someone keeps visiting your website or a specific product page. \ud83e\uddd0<\/p>\n Maybe they\u2019re interested in what to offer, and just need an extra push.<\/p>\n Note that this template can be adapted for just about any trigger event \u2013 such as downloading a whitepaper from your website or a specific promotional email that is opened multiple times. \ud83d\udcec<\/p>\n Be sure to include:<\/p>\n Subject line: Demonstrated interest in [Specific product or page on your site]<\/p>\n Hi [First name],<\/p>\n I noticed that a few people from your team were looking at our [Specific name of product\/page] page this week, which is about\/covers\/details [Describe the page and the function of the product].<\/p>\n Do you have 5-10 minutes to discuss what solutions you and your team are exploring? If so, how does your calendar look this week?<\/p>\n Take care!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As I\u2019ve mentioned in a previous blog<\/a><\/u>, try to warm up to contacting prospects directly before sending them an email.<\/p>\n Some suggestions for warming up to an email: commenting on something interesting they post on LinkedIn, retweeting<\/a> something they\u2019ve tweeted, etc.<\/p>\n Be sure to do this in a thoughtful and strategic way. But surely, as a salesperson, you already know this. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n You\u2019re trying to build a relationship with these companies, so approach it in the same way you would want to be approached \u2014 in a more organic, thoughtful way. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n Be sure to include:<\/p>\n Subject: Happy to help out with [Solution]<\/p>\n Hi [First name],<\/p>\n My name is [Your name] and I\u2019m part of the business development efforts with [Your company]. [Quick one-to-two-sentence pitch that explains what your company does].<\/p>\n Based on your [Channel: LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.] profile, you seem to be an appropriate person to connect with regarding [Solution].<\/p>\n I\u2019d like to talk to someone from [Their company] who is responsible for [Department\/role of people who would use your solution].<\/p>\n If you\u2019re who I should speak to about this, are you open to a 5-10 minute call this week, such as [suggest a few dates\/times], to discuss the ways [Your solution] can specifically help your business?<\/p>\n If not you, could you please put me in touch with the right person?<\/p>\n Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2728Tip: Add a testimonial link to your signature, as it gives you more credibility and social proof to those you email (and you can track<\/a> whether or not they\u2019ve clicked it!). It\u2019s also a good idea to add a link to your LinkedIn profile so that they can easily answer the question, \u201cWho is this person?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Sending hundreds of emails can sometimes feel a bit daunting, but hopefully this guide can take a bit of the pressure off! \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n Plus, many of your email processes can be automated \u2013 if you\u2019d like to learn more about following up with automation, check out this handy guide<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n Happy emailing! \ud83d\udce7<\/p>\n Having templates is great, but copy-pasting them from some central file into your emails over and over again is less great.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why we, at Salesflare (yup, this is our blog, and we offer an easy and automated CRM to SMBs selling B2B<\/a>), have built a cool feature that allows you to:<\/span><\/p>\n Inserting a template<\/a> only takes a second!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Or, if you\u2019re finding yourself using these templates over and over again to follow up with a list of people, you can take your automation even further and set up sequences of emails with Salesflare<\/a>\u2019s email workflows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Send automated and personalized email sequences to prospects that keep sending until they reply (or click or open your email) and look like you sent them yourself, manually. Here are some cold email workflows that get us great results<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Get accurate analytics on open rate, click rate, reply rate and more. Set goals on workflows, automate the email sequence and let the numbers calculate themselves!<\/span><\/p>\n You can even see which emails work best and which ones don\u2019t reach your goals<\/a>, so you can go back and improve to get even better results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The email automation in Salesflare is powerful. If you don\u2019t trust me, <\/span>give it a try yourself<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>watch some of our customers show their email workflows<\/span><\/a> first.<\/span><\/p>\n We hope you liked this post.
