100+ Free HubSpot Sales Email Templates
By Bill Viau
Let’s face it. There’s a lot of sales content out there that just doesn’t work. Odds are that your email spam box is full of examples.
Of course, that hasn’t stopped email marketing from retaining its title as one of the planet's most popular sales enablement tools.
The truth is that email marketing does work – but only when approached correctly. Luckily, you don’t have to be a marketing wizard to churn out emails worthy of incorporating into your inbound sales strategy.
Simply assembling the right collection of sales templates can go a long way toward upping your email game. We’ll point you in the direction of over 100 of the best free sales email templates that you can access right away.
The Art of the Sales Email
We’ve worked with plenty of clients who were initially nervous about incorporating email into their sales automation strategy. Most were united by their simple fear of ending up as spam folder statistics.
But what’s important to realize is that it’s highly likely those spam emails you have zero plans of opening have a few things in common. Some of those traits are easier to spot than others.
Obviously, if you receive an email from a faraway prince who really needs you to transfer money to an off-shore account immediately, your trust is compromised. But unfortunately, even legitimate sales emails often fall prey to common mistakes.
Let’s take a look at what not to do if you want to use emails as high ROI sales enablement content. Often, committing even one of the following sales email gaffs is enough to send a reader scrambling to find the unsubscribe button.
Common Characteristics of Bad Sales Emails
- The reader never provided the sender with their email address
- The subject lines are generic or make over-enthusiastic use of UPPERCASE MESSAGING!!!
- The sender fails to consider the reader's current stage of the marketing funnel
- Bad spelling or grammar — nothing tanks an email's credibility quicker
- Too much information
- Not enough information
- No clear CTA
One thing to note is that the proper use of sales automation tools, such as HubSpot Sales Hub, Constant Contact, or MailChimp, is definitely not a bad thing. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 63% of marketers use email automation tools.
The key is making sure that the emails you do send use best practices to build customer trust, nurture loyalty, and turn leads into conversions. You have likely opened a few such emails yourself, probably because they tend to share a set of desirable traits.
Characteristics of a Good Sales Email
- They are from a sender the reader recognizes and provided with their email address
- They include friendly, engaging subject lines that tell the reader exactly what the email is about
- The sender may use personalization to include the reader’s name in the subject line
- The sender uses segmentation to engage readers at different stages of the sales funnel
- The body copy is about what the company can do for the reader, not the other way around
- The message includes all the key information while remaining short, sweet, and easily scannable
- The CTA is clear and often provides a link
Hopefully, this has helped give you a better idea of what makes for a winning sales email. Now, let’s dive into where to find free sales email templates that you can use to engage customers and leads at every stage of the sales funnel.
