No. 1 Sales Email Tip During Holidays
The trick of targeting these accounts is in how you reach out. The messages you should send during this time of year should be painfully short and very simple.
Here's an example message for someone who previously skipped a scheduled demo.
"Hey George,
I know you and {coworker} had scheduled some time with us ~ a month ago. Is Lavender something y'all are still looking at exploring for {company}?
Hope the year is wrapping up strongly for y'all.
Will
Here's a message example for reengaging a stalled deal during the holidays:
Hey George,
I know we've gone back and forth on moving forward with Lavender.
Is this something you're still considering?
Hope the year is wrapping up well for y'all!
Will
You can add personalization to this, of course. Simplify it, though.
“It sounded like {pain point} was something your team was eager to address. Are y'all still considering a solution like Lavender?”
Point is, don't try to overwhelm the reader. There's too much going on in people's lives during holidays. It'll pay off.
