Ep. 71 - Can AI help your team write better sales emails? With Lavender AI’s Jen Allen-Knuth and Will Aitken
How many good sales emails have you gotten?
Personally, I can count them on one hand.
Most of us can sniff out a sales email in a split second--the headline is cheesy, it’s about them, and it’s completely irrelevant. Obviously, sellers haven’t done their homework.
That’s the opportunity we discussed in my interview with Lavender AI’s Jen Allen-Knuth and Will Aitken at the Ascent Conference in San Francisco. Their tool helps sellers write better emails—or as Aitken says, “stop them from writing such bad ones.”
Using AI to comb through millions of sales emails, Lavender has solid data on what works and what doesn’t to coach your sales team before they hit send, giving them the best opportunity for engagement.
Key Takeaways from this episode:
- The best structure for sales emails that you’re probably not doing.
- Why emails under 50 words and boring subject lines get the best replies.
- The most overlooked thing by sellers. (Hint: it’s about them and not about you).
