It’s easy to be intimidated by sales letters and emails if you’ve never written any of them before. That’s a good point. As a result, no one wants to appear aggressive or as if they’re working too hard to seal the transaction.

Set Up Templates
You’re already wasting time if you’re constantly starting from scratch while writing critical Sales Emails. You can use pre-existing templates for sales emails as a starting point. Simply edit the prewritten emails to fit your demands instead than looking at a blinking cursor on a white screen. In order to quickly and easily make changes when following up on a new opportunity, save your customized Sales Email as an Outlook Template. Your follow-ups could also be divided into different templates for each day.

Give Yourself Time
Writing essays in a limited amount of time is probably nothing new to anyone who took the SAT or ACT in preparation for college. Imagining that you have a limited amount of time to complete the Sales Email you’re sending, set a timer as you begin writing your email. Even if you make changes later, you’ll have text that you can work with. Creating a preliminary outline is recommended even if you only write down the bare bones of what you want to communicate. Before you start writing, make a plan so that you are less likely to become stuck.

Dictate
As a seller, you are unquestionably a natural communicator; why not use that ability in your email correspondence? Emails can easily be dictated with the help of current technology. Once you’ve finished speaking, correct any misspellings or grammatical errors. For those who type slowly but can speak far faster than they write, this is a great tool. While traveling back to the office following a sales meeting, record your email on your phone and then import the file to your computer to compose it.

Remove Distractions
When you’re trying to write, distractions will slow you down the most. At least a dozen new activities will likely spring to mind as you begin typing. In this case, it’s important to keep an eye on the time. Wait until you’ve finished drafting your message before turning your phone on vibrate and disabling email notifications. A “do not disturb” sign or a peaceful location are good options if you’re worried about other people wandering in and interrupting your writing. A timer on your phone or an online application can then be used to keep you focused on your writing for the allocated amount of time.

Turn off Your Inner Critic
If you’re trying to write something of significance, perfectionism can be a major roadblock. Your high school English teacher’s voice or your own self-doubt may be heard in your head as you begin to compose your essay. Don’t let these voices distract you from the message you’re trying to convey. If it helps, give yourself permission to write a poor first draft, knowing that you will revise it once the words are on the page.
