Tips to Write an Effective Email:
To write an effective email, it is important to first decide what service you are providing and what the client wants from you. The main things to consider before writing an email are:
Step 1: Research the client:
Before emailing any client, I do thorough research about him. I understand his weaknesses, pain points, and purpose.
By doing this, I become capable of writing an attractive email that is according to their needs, and they feel that we are really interested in helping them.
Step 2: Start with a Strong Subject Line:
The subject line of your email is the first thing your client sees, so the title of the email should be clear and attractive.
For example: “Hire Freelance [Service] Expert Ready to Assist [Company Name]”
Step 3: Personalize the Email:
Addressing the client by name will create a good impact on his brain, and he will come to know that you have done research about him.
For example: “Dear [First Name],”.
Step 4: Introduce Yourself and Your Services:
Introduce yourself and tell him who you are and what expertise you have. After this, talk about how you found him and why you want to work with him.
For example: “My name is [Your Name], and I am a freelance [Your Profession] with [X] years of experience helping businesses like yours achieve [Result].”
Step 5: Highlight Client’s Problems:
Throw light on the client's problems and explain how you can help him.
Try to deliver your message in fewer words because people do not read long emails as they find them boring.
Step 6: Showcase Your Services:
After this, you can write your specific services in a list shape so that it becomes easier for the client to read them.
Step 7: Avoid any Grammatical Mistake:
Keep in mind that your email should not have any grammatical or punctuation mistakes, as this can make the email appear unprofessional to the client.
Before sending the email, make sure to read the email thoroughly at the end so that if there is any mistake, it can be removed.
Step 8: Email length:
While writing an email, always keep in mind that you should write your message in as few words as possible.
I suggest you keep the length of your email within 150-250 words.
Step 9: Add Clear CTA (Call to Action):
Here are some examples of strong CTAs for high response chances:
1. Directly Asking for a Meeting:
Can we have a phone call and talk for 15 minutes to tell you how I can help you in your business?
2. Offer for a Free Trial or Sample Work:
If you are really interested in working, then I can give you a free trial and my own sample work from which you can estimate the value of my work.
3. Offering Them a Selection:
If you are interested, we can have a 15-20 minute Zoom call or email exchange to discuss this further.
4. Creating Urgency:
I have only one more client's place for this month. Reply soon before it's too late.
Step 10: Professional Ending:
Decently end your email and add your required contact information, like a phone number, portfolio, or email. Use engaging words at the end.
For example: “Looking for your good reply.”
“ Best regards, [Your Name]”
