Establishing seamless communication with customers is an important activity for any business and emails play a vital role in this process. We all want our sales & marketing process to function like a well-oiled machine, but one aspect of the process that is often tough to track is the effectiveness of emails. Do you know what your sales & marketing team is emailing customers? Just like calling customers via phone, your sales and marketing experts have their styles of communication. The emails they send to your customers are as important as what they are saying to them on the phone or in person. To overcome such issues you need to standardize your email process so there is no ambiguity of thoughts. Here you need ready to use email templates which brings uniformity and saves time.

Salezshark has introduced the Email Templates Module that includes ready to use email templates allowing users to send templates both in transactional i.e. one on one emails and in bulk emails while sending campaigns. Users can create and save their own templates in the repository. They can edit & use existing templates from the gallery. These email templates can be created in Email Text Editor with an option to add HTML source, attach links, etc. These templates can be saved in Folders that will serve as a Template Repository. Templates can be shared as Public for other users to use these as templates. The basic features include:

  • The Administrator or a user with the “Template section” permission will be able to use this tool.
