Unlocking pipeline generation for your agency

There are three things that Yesware does really well:

  1. This sales tool helps with pipeline generation by letting users respond to leads faster, and by getting everyone on your team prospecting via email outreach.
  2. It lets you convert more opportunities by following up more efficiently and communicating more effectively.
  3. And it helps expand accounts by letting your team build lasting relationships with better engagement.

Yesware does all of this through features that make everyone on the team more productive by running the same plays that yield the best results. It lets you know when your prospects are engaging with your emails, so you can reach out at the perfect time.

“You can run multi-touch sales campaigns, track engagement in real time, schedule meetings, and follow up fast with the highest performing messaging at any stage of the sales process.”

Leveraging Yesware to power pipeline generation

Once Yesware is set up in your inbox, there are so many new prospecting and pipeline generation opportunities available to you.

Enhance pipeline generation with email tracking

Have you ever wished you could read your recipient's mind? With email tracking, you can get pretty close to it. Yesware informs you of what happens after you hit the send button, so you can follow up at the perfect time.

You will notice that your emails are automatically tracked when you begin sending them. By following notifications, you can view when your emails are opened, how many times they have been opened, and on what device. This enables you to follow up with a phone call to your potential customer at the time when they are most likely to make a purchase.

Using email templates to scale your pipeline generation efforts

One of the most convenient features with Yesware is the ability to create email templates. Instead of spending hours crafting the perfect email, you can create personalized email templates that can be used over and over again.

An added feature of Yesware Premium allows your to create and save templates for your entire team to ensure consistent messaging and branding across the board. In addition, powerful analytics allow you to track which templates are being used and how effective they are. This gives you the data you need to increase response rates and convert more business.

Automate your prospecting with campaigns

Yesware campaigns allow you to create and send personalized emails to multiple recipients at once, reducing the time and effort required for sales outreach. Campaigns not only enable you to send automated emails, but they also remind your team of multiple outreach points like phone calls, LinkedIn connections, and more.

It’s all about streamlining sales activity.

Imagine logging into your email each morning, only to find that Yesware has already done the heavy lifting. Prospecting emails have gone out and you have a list of organized tasks, phone calls to make, and LinkedIn messages to send, setting you up to connect with hundreds of prospects all before your morning coffee!
