client

Question
1 What do they do? What industry are they in? Try to be as detailed
as possible!

in their business? Be as specific as possible!

Signature ​Signatures make any email look more professional. If you don't have
one, it's time to make one. Make sure to include your name, your job
title (if you don't have one, make one up!), your website URL and
any social media accounts that are relevant to your business.

Action you can take before reaching out:


1. Sign up to their email newsletter and reply to at least one of their email newsletters.
2. Follow them on Twitter, Instagram, FB Business Page or LinkedIn and like and comment on at least 3 photos.

Top tips:
1. Don't be afraid to break up your paragraphs. No one likes to open an email with one big block of text!
2. Feel free to bold certain phrases or sentences that you don't want to go unnoticed. Many people
skim an email before they decided to actually read all of it.
