Send Better Email: Seven Proven Emails to Reach Your Next Prospect

September 25, 2018

It’s time to send better email. A couple of weeks ago, we published seven free email templates to use when reaching out to prospects. The only caveat? Those templates were gated. Today, we’re unleashing the Kraken (so to speak) to help salespeople everywhere close every possible before the end of the month — and the end of Q3.

Sourced from Winmo’s own crack sales team, these emails are brief, actionable, and proven to generate responses from prospects. So pull your strongest email list and get to sending; Q3 goals are still within reach!
