Sales marketing email sample to previous customers

💡 Peer-to-peer emails: send the first email from your VP of CSM, or from a VP in a similar role as the recipient, e.g. your VP of Finance to Finance persona

💡 Give to get: Provide useful content to help them in their new role (e.g. "The First 90 Day Checklist For Finance Leaders")

Subject: Your experience at PREVIOUS.COMPANY with ACME (and Congrats on your new gig!)

Hey Anna,

Congrats on the new gig! Hope you're settling in nicely. As a previous (hopefully happy) customer and user of Acme while at PREVIOUS.COMPANY, could there be a potential fit again at CURRENT.COMPANY?

Since you've last used ACME, we've recently released (update 1, 2, 3) that I thought you might be interested in.

Cheers,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multi-threading other contacts at the company

Some UserGems leads don't match your target persona.  

But they could still be your champions and/or introduce you to the budget holder.

💡 Reach out to past users and mention them in your emails to the decision-makers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: John Doe & ACME

Hey Kate,

John Doe from your team is a previous (and hopefully happy) user of ACME while at his previous company, ENTERPRISE INC. I've sent him a note but I thought it could be interesting for you to chat with him about his experience with us.

At ACME we do {{! add a short description about yourself !}}.

Cheers,

Sales referral email template

💡 Having a referral is always better than a cold outreach, and people are more open to help than you’d think.

💡 Once you get a referral, put the referrer’s name in the subject line to increase the open rate.

Subject: Your experience at PREVIOUS.COMPANY with Acme (P.S. Congrats on your new gig!)

Hey Adam,

Congrats on the new gig! Hope you're enjoying it. As a former (and hopefully happy) customer of ACME while at PREVIOUS.COMPANY, could there could be a potential fit again at CURRENT.COMPANY?

If you are not the right fit in your new role, is there someone else at CURRENT.COMPANY we should be talking to?

Of are there any friends, family, or enemies that could benefit from an intro? Thank you!

Cheers,

Sales email example to newly-hired or recently promoted prospects

💡 The sooner you reach out to the buyers (with a personalized and relevant message), the higher chance that you will get a favorable response.

💡 If there are your past customers at this company, reference them in the outreach to increase your product’s credibility

Below is a LinkedIn shout-out from a buyer that captures the value of reaching new buyers at the beginning of their buying journey -- when they're new to the role. (Source: Adam Goyette)

‍

💡 To craft a relevant outreach message, you need to know what the buyer's top priorities are. One easy hack for this is to look for their Job Description.

If it’s already taken down from LinkedIn or their company’s career web page, you can sometimes use the WayBackMachine to find archived versions of their career web page.

Would you like more info?

P.S. John Doe from your team is a previous (and hopefully happy) user of our product when he was at ENTERPRISE INC. Perhaps he can share some feedback.

Cheers,

Sales email example to a new decision-maker that joined your customer account

💡 As an incumbent solution that had been selected by someone else, your product will be re-evaluated and/or re-negotiated.

So it is even more crucial for Customer Success/Account Managers to reach out to the new decision-makers timely to understand their priorities and updating them on the impacts (ROI) your product has provided to their team and company.

💡 If this is one of your top tier accounts, send a welcome gift with hand-written notes.

💡 Keep closely in-touch with your existing champions within the account to stay abreast on any changing business priorities.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Brandon,

Congrats on the new gig and hope you're settling in nicely. I'm the CSM for ACME helping your team achieve XYZ.

Attached is the recent QBR with some highlights and below are the top 3 goals what your team's achieving with us.

Would love to say help and learn how we can assist your objectives. To make it easy, I've shared an invite that you can amend. Looking forward!

Cheers,

Sales email example to a customer that got promoted to a new business unit

This is more common for Enterprise accounts where there are multiple business units, divisions, and geographies.

Even though one division is your customer, there are still opportunities to grow within the account (i.e. land and expand strategy)

For example: LinkedIn Marketing Solutions is your customer, but LinkedIn HR Solutions is NOT. When your contact changes from Marketing Solutions to HR Solutions, that could be your opportunity for upsell and cross-sell.

💡 If this is a tier 1 accounts, send a congratulations gift with hand-written notes 

💡 If this contact is a decision maker in the existing department, find out who will fill in his/her position and stay connected to other champions to prevent any churn risk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Jen,

Congratulations on your new role! Hope you're settling in nicely.

Thank you for your partnership in the last years; I'll definitely miss you at [DIVISION 1]. But I'm so excited for your new chapter and hope that we can partner again in the near future at [DIVISION 2].

During the transition period, should I work with [NAME]?

Congrats again and please don't hesitate if there's anything I can assist.

Warmly,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales email example to a previous customer that joined a different customer account

Similar to the scenario above, a previous customer joining a different customer accounts could be an opportunity for upsell or cross-sell.

💡 You might also let your existing primary contact(s) know about the previous customer - perhaps to exchange tips. That also helps the previous customer meet new people at their new org. And you'd gain a new champion. Win-win-win.

💡 Be cognizant that certain information from the QBR might not be suitable to share with anyone. Make sure that your primary contact isn't caught off guard.

Subject line: Your experience with Acme at PREVIOUS.COMPANY

Hey Sam,

Congrats on the new gig, hope you’re settling in nicely. CURRENT.COMPANY is another ACNE customer that I look after so hopefully I can help you further your objectives once more as you did at PREVIOUS.COMPANY.

I'm working with [PRIMARY.CONTACT] and here’s a quick summary of what CURRENT.COMPANY has been achieving with ACME: XYZ

Here’s some other areas that CURRENT.COMPANY may want to explore: XYZ

Please let me know if you’d like to chat further.
