Hello there, Saleshandy users! 👋

Looking to improve your reply rates and get more positive responses? Personalized lines can do wonders! Whether you prefer crafting them yourself or relying on AI generators, optimizing your time is key.

Navigating the process of adding personalized lines to your lead list can be confusing. But fear not, our team has put together this handy guide to walk you through it, step by step. Get ready for an engaging and effective journey!

📝Adding Personalization to your lead list with Salesahandy

Step 1️⃣: Set Up Your Lead List📋

To kick things off, let's get organized! Create a lead list in Google Sheets or Excel, and make sure to add a special column called "Personalization." This is where you'll house all the personalized lines you'll be crafting. It's your starting point for personalized outreach success!

Step 2️⃣: Craft Your Personalized Lines🪄

Now, let's get creative! You've got options here. You can either write your personalized lines manually, adding that personal touch, or let the AI generator do the heavy lifting for you. To give you a taste, here's an AI-generated example:

  • I read about your involvement in charity on your LinkedIn profile.

  • Your recent podcast on blockchain was insightful. Let's discuss the future of telecommunications based on your insights.

  • Your company's expansion into solar energy is exciting. Let's discuss how it can reshape the retail industry.

But don't stop there! Feel free to experiment with different approaches and see what resonates best with your audience. Your unique touch can make all the difference for your business. 🚀

Step 3️⃣: Launch Your Saleshandy Sequence

With your lead list ready and your personalized lines selected, it's time for you to take action. Upload your prepared list to your Saleshandy Sequence. The magic happens here!

Step 4️⃣: Add {{Personalization}} to Your Email

Now, let's put your personalized lines to work! When you're ready to send those engaging emails, insert the {{Personalization}} variable into your email body. This step is the secret sauce that makes your crafted lines come to life in your emails. Watch your personalized messages shine! 🌟📧
