How to write sales email templates

Introduction

Sales reps waste hours writing the same emails repeatedly intro messages, meeting requests, follow-ups, recaps. Templates save time but most feel robotic. Good templates provide structure whilst leaving room for personalisation. They handle common scenarios cold outreach, meeting follow-up, proposal reminders without sounding like form letters.
