An amazing opportunity to tell your story

All over the world, the refrain is the same, “They don’t respond to my emails and I can’t get them on the phone.”   

Exactly! Well-meaning but less-than-compelling emails are ignored or deleted. And phone calls? It’s sad to say but only 3% of voice messages are returned (2016 data).

You’ve probably also read the research that shows positive emails enjoy a 15% higher response rate than those perceived to be more neutral light (and let’s not even talk about emails that are negative and don’t help buyers feel safe and smart!). Combine that fact with USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering research proving that 34% of emails are opened and read but, wait for it…. only 3% of those receive response! 

What an amazing opportunity to drive sales with better email messaging!

Email is now the front line of building business relationships. And as easy and efficient as email can be, when it’s the primary way to communicate – without benefit of tone and with distracted recipients and competing agendas – those emails have to tell your unique story in a way that grabs attention and creates an easy buying path.

What we know is when used to its full potential, email is a powerful technology in building trusted collaborations, strategically advancing sales, and generating solid, profitable business relationships.

Drive Results with New Thinking

If each sales person on your team – or even just your top achievers! – books just one additional “piece of business” in the next 3 months because of this sales training, what will that mean to the bottom line? You can count on results better than that!

If just half the group saves at least 50% of the time they currently spend emailing, how much ROI will that provide? How about if response rate doubles and prospecting efforts soar? You can depend on saving up to 80% of the time spent emailing with a simple three-step process, rely on a significant increase in response rate and create winning prospecting messages by applying touchpoint-emotion-action-delighter principles. (Our acronym – TEAD – doesn’t work but the process does!)

If just one more customer or client provides a powerful referral because asking becomes authentic and easy, will that do to your sales numbers?

CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

Based on analytics provided by SpeakerSue’s clients you can save thousands of dollars (Pounds, Yuans, Euros, Czech korunas, Swiss francs, etc!)  daily in increased productivity, as you gain new business leads, retain current customers and talent, and advance and close more business.

Every program SpeakerSue presents is fully customized to ensure you meet your objectives and is aligned with your initiatives. (Really. Why bother using generic off-the-shelf training that isn’t practical and can’t possibly provide the answers your company needs?) 

Sue’s team works with your office to collect email and other e-channel samples directly from your participants. Sue personally reviews every email to determine current strengths and assess what must change to expect better results.

Your group will also be asked to respond to surveys and she’ll conduct interviews with you and your stakeholders to pinpoint training goals.

YOUR examples are used exclusively for the training ensuring your group leaves with practical, immediately applicable skills. They’re prepared to articulate YOUR brand distinction and authentically extend their hand to help buyers feel safe and smart selecting your services.

Even better, during sales training, your participants will thoughtfully create fresh, polished, emotionally appealing examples and templates to personalize and use to sell more easily.

Email is dead! Long live email!

Communicating with customers and clients may be the most obvious need but internal communications aren’t always sweet, loving or effective either! How much more productive could your operational team and other colleagues be if they wrote with purpose, clarity and care? Whether you begin with your sales force or operational teams, SpeakerSue will bring a cultural awakening to your organization.

Every department that touches the customer journey – and those who support those teams and each other – will wish they had participated in email training yesterday! Consider:

33% of email recipients open emails based on subject line alone. But how do the other 67% decide?

Emails with the word “Reminder” in the subject line are the least frequently opened emails.

Emails that start with “Happy Friday!” actually create negative feelings in the majority of recipients.

Email training isn’t just for the sales force! Let SpeakerSue customize Email Etiquette training for your entire team and watch stress melt, petty office politics diminish and productivity grow.

Sue accepts a very limited number of coaching clients, ensuring they receive the quality attention and individual instruction they need to perform at their best.
