Avoid These 3 Email Mistakes, As Shared by a Revenue Leader

Florin Tatulea

1. Wasting the important first sentence on meaningless personalization

Calling out basic observations and compliments like the fact that they transitioned roles is not helping you.

Cut to the chase and save the compliments for the P.S.

Example #1
2. Not providing any insight that the executive doesn’t already know

Don’t just call out an observation that the prospect already knows.

In this example calling out the number of followers they have is not new information.

Go deeper and compare engagement rates with other brands like below:

Example #2
3. Not using social proof

You likely have happy customer reviews and/or case studies.

Call out specific names of customers that have seen success.

It should be SUPER easy to do and a huge miss if you don’t.
