Tips for Successful Emailing:

 

1. Make your correspondence personal in nature. Most people can spot an impersonal note a mile away, and this will almost always send otherwise receptive clients running the other direction. Many people simply fail at customer service because they are not sincere and personable in their emails. Write to the potential customer as an individual. Talk to them as one person, rather than addressing the company they work for, etc. Make sure not to let your email sound like a mass email sent to a generic group of people.

 

2. Make sure your name appears in the "From" line of your email. People respond much more favorably to an actual person sending an email, so they are more likely to take the time to read it. Since you've already learned to keep the content of your email personal in approach, it follows that a personal approach should be the first thing they see when they receive the email in their inbox. Keep your email from looking like spam. Use words and phrases in your subject line that let them know your email is not spam. This will dramatically increase the odds of their reading it.

 

3. Make your Subject Line Provocative. Context is big because subject lines need to hook the interest of the reader without sounding like spam. But heres the key " If someone clicked on your ad, they already are telling you what theyre interested in. So reference that in your Subject Line. Do not just say RE: Your Contact To US. How can we help? Client Services responding to your interest is much more personal. It doesnt seem too sophisticated, but doesnt scream SPAM either.

 

Of course, these should suit what you are communicating about, and not be cloned for every possible subject. By investing some effort and willingness to customize this to seem personal, you will earn dedicated customers for your business.

 

Zero Cost. Zero Obligation.
