The problem: you worry that your salespeople are not following the proper messaging guidelines in their Cold-Email with potential customers.

The solution: you can provide templates that can be inserted with a click.

Providing your sales team with attractive email templates does two things: (1) you can be sure they are using the right placement; and (2) sending emails using proven writing techniques will increase your openness and response rate.
