Don't wrap it up after the first email. That's the mistake most marketers make. The main argument is lack of time. Writing 6 emails, still over the course of say 3 weeks and with 50 customers... That's some 300 emails over 3 weeks to work normally.
Unless you're an email masochist, you'll stop doing that sooner or later.
That's where automation comes in again. Prepare 6 emails that you'll send out sequentially. And then enter them into Integromat- https://www.integromat.com/cs , which will automatically send them for you at the right time.
Thanks to Integromat, you can also personalize the emails with information from your CRM - for example, salutation, company name, number of employees, turnover last year, location, etc.
Let's see what kind of emails you can send:
Introductory - responds 2%
Hello Mr. "Novak",
Do you have time to talk about your printers? "South Moravia" is our domain and we have several customers there, for whom we have reduced costs significantly.
Sincerely.
Follow-up - send in 2 days - will reply 5%
Hello Mr. "Novak",
Last year you had a turnover of "XX million crowns". At that size, you must have a lot of print consumption. Is there a possibility to call and talk about it?
Sincerely.
Next - send in 4 days - will reply 7%
Hello Mr. "Novak",
You may be worried that optimizing the "print" may cost a large investment in the initial phase. Is that so?
Sincerely
And then it starts - send in another 4 days - will reply 20%
Hello Mr. Novak,
I don't know if you're the right person to handle the printing costs for you. Does "Skoda auto" have anyone else I can contact?
Sincerely.
