Let’s say you’ve gotten a fresh batch of warm leads from <\/span>Facebook Lead Ads<\/span><\/a> and just imported them into your email outreach automation tool. All you have to do now is to write and send an email that will seal the deal, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, technically – yes.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how do you do so to make sure it’s effective?<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve gathered a handful of tips for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

See how to write an email that converts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take care of your prospect list<\/h3>\n

When it comes to email outreach, there are 3 main elements you need to take care of: a <\/span>high-quality prospect list<\/a>,<\/b> a <\/span>good email copy<\/b>, and <\/span>sending strategy<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good news is, in this case, you already have a list of leads that possibly are interested in the product\/service you’re offering. So you’re already\u00c2\u00a0 of the way!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now’s the time to write the email and start sending.<\/span><\/p>\n

You might, of course, send every email manually, copying and pasting it one after another, but trust me — that will take ages. If you would like to make that process easier, try using an email automation tool. That way you will save time and be sure not one response has slipped unnoticed, as you will have them all under one roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

So be sure to push your prospects’ data into the email automation tool you’re using, and let’s move on to the next step – composing the email.<\/span><\/p>\n

Write the email<\/h3>\n

Even though effective cold emails<\/a> are often just several lines long – and the shorter, the better – there are quite a few things you need to be mindful of before you start typing. They fall under the scope of these two areas: <\/span>creating a valuable, interesting message<\/b>, and<\/span> getting it delivered<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s start with creating the email.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are six elements of an email — they aren’t set in stone, of course, but it’s good to know what you should be mindful of when writing your message. Here they are:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The ‘from’ line<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Subject line<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Introduction<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Value proposition<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Call-to-action<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Signature<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    #1. The ‘from’ line<\/b><\/p>\n

    If up to this point you’ve thought of the ‘from’ line as something you set up at the beginning and then forget about completely, you might want to reconsider that approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Why the ‘from’ line is one of the things that makes the first impression on your prospects. It shows them who sent this message, and probably will impact their decision on whether to open the email or move it to trash.<\/span><\/p>\n

    To decide what your ‘from’ line should be, step into your prospects’ shoes for a while. If you were them, which one would make you open the email. A more formal one, like ‘John Smith at Company XYZ’ or perhaps a more casual one, such as ‘John at Company XYZ’.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Also, be consistent with the email body. If you’re using a more casual tone, it’s only natural that the ‘from’ line is ‘John at Company XYZ’ rather than ‘John Smith at Company XYZ’.<\/span><\/p>\n

    #2.\u00c2\u00a0 Subject line<\/b><\/p>\n

    The email subject line<\/a>, along with the ‘from’ line, defines whether your prospect will open your email or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

    That’s why you should:<\/span><\/p>\n
