11 Funny but Effective Sales Emails by the HubSpot Sales Team [Templates]

您是否正在发送无聊的通用电子邮件，看起来就像过去的100个潜在客户从代表中获得的一样？还是您想在人群中脱颖而出？

We've rounded up a handful of battle-tested, clever sales emails from HubSpot sales reps -- and included a few new templates for you to try out for yourself.

幽默如何使销售电子邮件更有效

When it comes to销售电子邮件, a little levity goes a long way. Most messages are straightforward and serious -- and boring. Adding a fun twist to their outreach helps reps distinguish themselves from the competition and make their pitch more memorable.

In addition, humor usually puts recipients in a better mood. Once their prospects are smiling, salespeople usually have a far better shot of getting time on their calendars.

That being said, no gimmick can make up for a bad sales process. If reps aren't capable of asking probing questions, diagnosing their prospect's needs, consistently adding value throughout the conversation, tailoring their pitch to the individual buyer's situation, and surfacing urgency, an attention-grabbing email will make zero difference to their bottom line.

According toYes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be More Persuasive, businesspeople who sent a funny, inoffensive cartoon to their negotiation partners before negotiating generated higher levels of trust and 15% larger profits than those who didn’t send a cartoon.

Salespeople can leverage the same trust-building effects by including a cartoon in their outreach email.

2.对“我们都设置”或“不谢谢”的回应：

Hearing this standard objection doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no opportunity. Use this template to make buyers think twice about brushing you off. If they’re truly not in a position to buy, they’ll remember you when the timing is better. And if they are a good fit, disarming them with a funny meme will likely lead them to think,“嗯，这似乎不是普通的销售人员。也许我应该给他们一个机会。”

Matt Hambor, Inbound Marketing Specialist

3.机智的电子邮件

To immediately differentiate yourself from other salespeople -- and hopefully, make the buyer laugh -- send them a tongue-in-cheek sales email as a follow-up to the compelling event.

Traditional guilt-tripping doesn’t work. Your prospect will be far likelier to reschedule if you make a light-hearted reference to the no-show.

James Hylas, Senior Account Executive, HubSpot Sales Solutions

Few things are more frustrating than a有前途突然停止的前景returning your calls and emails. Sometimes, an Adele reference is what you need to bring them back.

并非每个买家都会响应幽默或另类的电子邮件。在将这些模板之一发送给您的潜在客户之前，请考虑您对他们的性格和以前互动或社交媒体帐户的偏好的了解。如果它们看起来比普通买家更保守或纽扣，那么一封更传统的销售电子邮件可能是明智的。

But正如Sales Hacker Max Altuscher的首席执行官所说，“不要过分谨慎。在大多数情况下，如果潜在客户不回答您，无论您做什么，传达有趣的消息是一项伟大的最后努力。”
