Picture this...

It’s Thursday afternoon, you’re on your fourth coffee, “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers is blasting through your headphones, and last night’s pizza is waiting in the fridge with your name on it.

Life is good.

You’re about ready to hit Send on a batch of sales emails you’ve prepared for your prospects. You’re feeling confident about it.

You scroll through them one last time, making sure everything checks out.

Then your song ends, and at that very moment, your eyes fixate on your email closing lines. 

You re-read them. Three times. Then your confidence wavers. Your email sign off sounds generic. Outdated.

“Is… is this why my email response rate sucks lately?” you think to yourself, horrified.

As a sales rep, there’s nothing more frustrating than spending time drafting emails for prospects only to be met with radio silence. 

And lately, that’s all you’ve been getting. You’re ready for a change.

If you want to know how to end a sales email to boost your response rate, you’ve come to the right place.

All your team’s efforts boil down to successfully closing a sale.

(Pause for intrigue)

What if there are certain sales closing lines and techniques that could help them seal the deal?

(Pause for more intrigue)

What if there are mistakes they’re making that are hurting their chances of closing the sale?

We interviewed our Senior Sales Director, Mackenzie Prinslow, here at Mixmax and she gave us some juicy insights about what works–and what to avoid–when trying to close a sale.

Following up with a prospect is one of the most important steps in the sales journey.

Get this: 

• 80% of prospects say “no” four times before they say “yes.”
• 40% of salespeople give up after the first “no.”

Yep, you read that right.

Imagine what your team is missing out on by giving up after the first (or fourth) rejection.

Following up again (and again, and again, and again) is the name of the game when it comes to sales.

But there are ways of going about it that will increase your revenue team’s chances of engaging with prospects.

Getting your follow up email subject lines just right is one of them, especially since it’s what will encourage your recipients to either open or toss your email.
