Hello there, Saleshandy users! 👋

When it comes to effective email outreach, it's all about timing, personalization, and strategic follow-ups. That's where Email Sequences come in. 🎯💼

With Email Sequences, you can send personalized emails to your prospects using a series of automated steps. It's like having your virtual assistant, following up with your leads, and increasing your chances of starting meaningful conversations. 💼💬

But that's not all! Saleshandy allows you to customize sequences with more variants, schedules, and personalization tools. 🎯So you can tailor your outreach to each individual, making a lasting impression and boosting your chances of success.✨

Email Sequences are a game-changer in streamlining your outreach efforts and maximizing productivity. With Saleshandy's email sequences, you can automate your communication process, saving you valuable time and effort. ⏰🚀

Creating and sending unique messages to each prospect on your list can personalize your outreach and make a genuine connection. 🤝🎯 This personal touch increases the chances of grabbing their attention and receiving a positive response. 💼💬

But it doesn't stop there! With the ability to scale your outreach by adding more prospects to your sequences, you can expand your reach and engage with a larger audience. 📈✨

Moreover, sequences empower you to immediately reach out or follow up with the right prospects. Timing is everything, and Saleshandy's scheduling capabilities ensure that your messages land in the inbox at the optimal moment, resulting in higher response rates. ⏰

To start using Saleshandy, you'll need to create a Sequence. First, click on the Sequence icon in the left-hand column of your dashboard. Then, click the 'Create Sequence' button on the right side of the page to kickstart your email outreach journey. 🚀💼

Once you've created your sequence, it's time to add the first step and dive into the action.✨

You can also create your sequence with AI Sequence Copilot by clicking on Write with AI.

Click the 'Add Step' button, and an email template editor will open. 📧✨

In the editor, you can craft your email by adding a captivating subject line, a compelling pre-header, and a well-written email body. Personalization is key, so make sure to use Merge Tags from your list to tailor the message to each recipient. 🤝💼

To enhance deliverability and engagement, follow the guidance of the email assistant to reduce any elements that may trigger spam filters. For that extra touch of personalization, consider using a mix of merge tags and spintax to create unique variations of your message. 📩🔀

Once you've crafted your message, click 'Save,' and voila! You've successfully added your first step to your sequence. 🎉💼

Boost your engagement by including Multiple Steps in your sequence. This increases the likelihood of getting a response from your prospects. Click the 'Add Step' button below the previously added step to add another step. 🚀🔀

You have the flexibility to set and customize the day of each step in your sequence, which is calculated from the sent date of the previous step added. This ensures that you can follow up with your prospects at the right time, maximizing your chances of a response.⏰

Set a wait for each step ⏳

At the bottom of the step editor, next to Start this step on Day, you'll find Wait for. Use it to add a wait in hours and minutes before the step runs. It works the same for email, LinkedIn, call, WhatsApp and task steps.

The text next to the field tells you what the wait counts from, for example "after the sequence starts", "after Day 3 begins" or "after Step 2 is done".

Leave it at 00 hrs : 00 mins if you don't need a wait. The step then runs just as it did before.

Waits and your sending schedule

Waits count on the clock, including at night and on weekends. Emails are still only sent inside your sequence schedule. If an email's wait ends while your schedule is closed, the email goes out as soon as the schedule opens again. Tasks for LinkedIn, call, WhatsApp and custom steps aren't held by the schedule. They show up in your Tasks tab as soon as their wait ends.

For example, your schedule runs 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Step 1 is done at 4:50 PM and Step 2 waits 30 mins, so it's due at 5:20 PM. If Step 2 is an email, it goes out at 9:00 AM the next morning. If it's a task, it shows up in your Tasks tab at 5:20 PM.

Changing a wait later

You can change a wait at any time, even after the sequence is active. The new wait also applies to prospects who are already waiting on that step. For example, if prospects are waiting 2 hrs on Step 2 and you change it to 10 mins, each of them moves to the new 10 min wait.

📝 Note: There's no minimum wait. Minutes go up to 59, and all the waits on one day can add up to 23 hrs 59 mins at most. You can still add only one email step per day. Use waits to space out your other steps around it.

In the Steps tab, each step shows a chip above it, such as No wait or Wait 1 hr 30 mins. Click the ✏️ pencil on the chip to change that wait without opening the step.

Move a step 🔀

You can move a step to another day or to a new position. Drag it in the Steps tab, or change Start this step on Day in the step editor. Two rules apply:

For example, Steps 1 to 3 have prospects and you've just added Step 4 and Step 5. You can swap Step 4 and Step 5, or move either one to another day after Step 3. You can't move either one in front of Step 1, 2 or 3. If a move isn't allowed, the step goes back to where it was and you'll see the message "Please first remove the prospects from the step".

A step keeps its own wait when you move it.

💡Pro-tip: To boost your response rate and increase the effectiveness of your outreach, consider including more than four follow-ups in your sequence. Consistent follow-ups demonstrate persistence and can significantly improve engagement. 📈💼

Remember, timing and persistence are key to successful outreach. Customize your sequence and follow-up strategy to optimize results and achieve your outreach goals. 🎯

Measuring the effectiveness of personalized messages is important, and A/Z testing is the perfect tool for the job. With A/Z testing, you can experiment with up to 26 different variants to determine what resonates best with your prospects and drives their response.

To add another variant to your steps, click the 'Add Variants' button below each variant. Starting from variant A (the default variant), you can continue adding variants in alphabetical order (B, C, D, and so on). This allows you to test multiple approaches and identify the most impactful one. 🔄🔍

💡Pro-tip: Make the most of A/Z testing by experimenting with different subject lines, email body content, and compelling calls-to-action (CTAs). This way, you can precisely measure and optimize your email performance for maximum results. 📈🚀

Note: A/Z variants is not available for the Starter Plan members. If you'd like to know which plans include A/Z, you can chat with our team right now.
