MODERN PROSPECTING EMAILS THAT DO, INSIDE

Hi there,
Do you remember FAQ sections on websites? Occasionally you still
do, but for the most part they’ve disappeared.
That’s because a website’s job is to answer a researcher or prospect's
question. If you set up your website to answer your prospect's
questions, you’ll increase sales. Check out this New York Times article
on why.
We offer a complimentary Website Content Assessment. When
would be a good time to walk through your site?
Let me know what works best.
